Who had the better stuff.
Jab: Pernell Whitaker
Power: Floyd Mayweather
Chin: DRAW
Accuracy: Mayweather's accuracy was slightly better. Pernell's jab was more accurate though
Stamina: Very hard to pick Stamina becuz I've seen the Jose Luis Ramirez fight and Pernell didn't get tired at all! He was extremely active in that fight and looked like a 15 round fighter BUT in some cases later in Pernell Whitaker's career he would get tired. I'm leaning towards Floyd Mayweather.
Body Puncher: Mayweather is an underated body puncher and has a good jab to the body...which has been a very effective punch threw out his career. The only reason I'm going with Pernell Whitaker is becuz Pernell would turn vicious for a couple of seconds and throw some wicked hooks to the body. Like he'd bounce around STOP then go Mexican Style on you. He'd do this often and that is why he was able to slow down his opponents.
Combinations: Pernell Whitaker
Footwork: Simply a DRAW.
Better fighter when they're back is against the rope: Pernell Whitaker would lay on the ropes, smile at you, make you miss and run your stamina. The problem I had with him is that he didn't always counter in these situations. Floyd Mayweather would counter and just landed the much better punches when put in that kind of situation.
Overall Defense: I'd have to say a DRAW.
I think Pernell had the better stuff but does that mean he'll beat Mayweather NO! I still don't know who'd win between the two.
So would you agree with this??
