..Who's Better: MAYWEATHER Or WHITAKER?...

[rebmogul]

His stamina did look much better against Forbes which surprised me but that could also be because GBP scheduled the weigh in earlier than usual to give DLH more time to rehydrate.

His stamina did surprise me though.

They had the weigh in 72 hours BEFORE fight time. This is the only reason he looked fresh, he had almost half a week to re-hydrate. By fight time he was close to 170 pounds.....

[Run]

Quicker? Maybe.

Stronger? Yeah.

Smarter? Lmao.

Pernell Whitaker vs Floyd Mayweather

Speed: Mayweather
Power: Pernell Whitaker
Defense: Draw
Better Body Puncher: Whitaker
Counter Punching: Draw
Reach: Ofcourse Mayweather, but Pernell would just move side to side and counter
Smarts: The same.
Jab: Mayweather had a slightly better Jab

This is to hard to call

Mayweather didnt have much use of the jab since he left his father earlier in his career, Whitaker clearly had better use of the jab. Also, Mayweather punches considerably harder than Whitaker and scored plenty much more knockouts against the better line of fighters. Everything else on your list i pretty much agree with.

people are voting for Whitaker
Probably Mayweather haters

I'm sure there are some people who are voting for Whitaker simply because they don't like Mayweather but then again there are a lot of people who are voting for Mayweather without having ever seen Whitaker fight so I guess that evens it out...


Boxing masterclass.


Another display of boxing by Whitaker.


Whitaker wasn't a puncher but he could knock a man out when he needed to.
The best example of this was when an aging Whitaker fought Diosbelys Hurtado.

Very fair, to assume the pol is gonna be so perfect that everyone votes knowing everything about both, and without any other agenda is ridiculous.

Since they both agreed to the weigh in time, he then still made 150 pounds. So, it still doesn't lead me to believe that he couldn't make 147.

I like both fighters...because they are kinda the same..both fast..both slick..both defensive guys first......

Sweet Pea is a legend an all time great fighter...no doubt.

But when you put both guys next to each other...Floyd should clearly be the BETTER fighter to any one who's not biased...but hey here we are.

Whitaker was 1 of the greatest fighters I have ever seen defensively. But he still got hit and caught with punches he shouldn't have had got caught with. Also Whitaker simply out boxed u, he really had no power and wasn't a better body puncher than Floyd. Just overall, Floyd is the better fighter. I think whitaker was quicker on his feet but he also put himself out of position to punch back and was only able to dodge then reset. Floyd is hardly never out of position to attack and he is 1 of the best at coming from defense to offense in 1 move. Floyd had the better jab at the smaller weights and just looked more like a virtuoso than Whitaker. Very rarely have ever seen Floyd not in control, but I've seen Whitaker struggle with Trinidad (later in his career though), Buddy Mcgirt, and Roger Mayweather. They both are great fighters and Floyd definitely used some of Whitaker's blueprint as well. But at the ned of the day skill for skill, Floyd edges him out.

Why should it be clearer?

He fought bigger fighters, in their primes and beat them, or should have beat them

Both were p4p number one at one point, bth had incredible skills and Whitaker though not a champion in as many different divisions, chased big fights to other divisions, sometimes passed his prime to do it and had success.

He got robbed in his Chavez and De La Hoya fights, by a lot of peoples accounts, so I don't take those two into anything more than good performances by Whitaker.

Both were fast, both were defensive (though Whitaker was funner to watch while being defensive), both had decent power for guys who aren't looked at as power punchers, both had solid enough beards and both fought the best they could, for the most part.

To say it's clear FOR EITHER, is biased.
