Present Fighter vs. all the Past Greats of his respective division?

Marco Antonio Barrera would beat just about any 122 pounder ever also

I think Junior Jones would have something to say about that.

I think Junior Jones would have something to say about that.

i've seen a couple of black and white tapes of Carlos Zarate...he might have a say in that statement as well

I think Wilfredo Gomez may have something to say about that too.

[UnDeniable]

I agree totally. Whitaker was very patient too........ so i think they would both have to come to a compromise and meet in centre ring. That is where i believe Whitaker would take over, when Floyd is forced to open up.

I always thought Floyd was a little more offensively gifted than Pea when at the lower weights

I'm with you in thinking that Pea would probably beat Floyd but a fight between these two would be so tight IMO and it strikes me as the type of fight where if their was 10 fights between these two it could be a 5-5 split or 6-4 to either one

also, has their ever been a fight between two more skilled, pure boxers than a Floyd - Pea fight

Everybody got something to say about that.

Barrera is deffo up there though.

[Chunk..]

As far as Floyd -Sweet Pea goes, folks need to keep in mind that both fighters were proficient at infighting as well as from range. Pernell whipped Chavez on the inside, and Mayweather whipped Hatton on the inside. Folks that think that these 2 would just shell each other from long range are mistaken.

Both Whitaker's and Mayweather's defenses were too good to get hit by the other from outside. Once the bell rings, they would get increasingly closer in order to start landing punches. The difference maker in this fight would be Whitaker's handspeed being enough to overwhelm Mayweather's defense. That shoulder roll won't work against Whitaker.

Whitaker, with his tricky lefty style and circular movement, takes the fight with timely combo punching. Decision victory, hard fought, and nothing but infighting from about round six on. Good workrate from both fighters.

One of the best technical Boxing matches ive seen ironically enough is McGirt vs Whitaker 1.

okay Junior Jones is his kryptonite.... every fighter has one if they look hard enough

but he could kick it with any 122lb fighter ever including Zarate and Gomez IMO

in fact Zarate was more of a 118 pounder wasn't he??? I know he lost to Gomez at 122... I don't know much about him though

i would probably favour Gomez now you mention him, but Barrera would give anyone a hell of a fight

There is no question, he is deffo up there. MAB is one of my favourite top 5 fighters of all time.
