    but I'm working off the premise that floyd's and pea's skills will negate each other. If they do, then I believe the size advantage will play a bigger role than usual in determining the winner of the bout.
    Huh? How does this theory work? Dude you're just searching for a way to give Floyd the W.

    This is hilarious.

      Floyd doesnt throw enough to catch Whitaker. Prime De La Hoya couldnt catch Whitaker.

      Whitaker would be smart enough to use his fast jab and outpoint Floyd.

          He's also a hundred times better than Castillo who was...his sparring partner.

            hmm... not sure if a boxer can force another boxer to be the aggressor against their own will.

            the other boxer can become the aggressor or just match the aggression of his opponent and it would be a stalemate (ie. a chess match), which is the most likely scenario of pbf/pea.

                nobody around floyd's weight was on chavez's level.

                  Why would that be the most likely? To quote James Toney when asked about the match-up of styles between he and Roy Jones, "I'll be the counterpuncher. Why? because he won't be able to resist coming forward."

                  Whitaker's dictated you be the aggressor, FAR more than Floyd's style. And both of their track records prove this. Just look at all of Pea's fights, even when he was old and washed up. Then look at Judah-Mayweather.

                    and you're dead set into giving the victory to whitaker...

                    I honestly don't know the real outcome, but I really doubt you do either.

                      if anybody could outpoint floyd i'd be whitaker, but its a close fight.
