    Who is the better fighter Whitaker or Mayweather.....

    Who is the better fighter Whitaker or Mayweather based on achievement ? reason i say based on achievement is, because how else can you judge a fighter? you cant judge him on what you think he was capable of.......... so its a case of what have you done. Not coulda woulda shoulda.

    Whitaker for me. Im a big fan though so i might be biased.

    I would have love to have seen Mayweather trying to get away from prime Chavez He had enough trouble with Castillo his sparring partner, and a 35 year old DLH.

              It is very hard to pick i must admit.

              Mayweather was probably more mobile in the sense he would use more of the ring. Where as Whitaker would take smaller steps to change the angles, but then again it was probably that bit easier for Whitaker to use less movement, because he is was lefty. Obviously Whitaker used a lot more of the ring when avoiding shots, but generally he used the ring space very economically imo.

              Id say Floyd is more athletic out of the two though.

              Id gotta say Whitaker though, its is close though.

                  Look listen,

                  Mayweather
                  Speed
                  Power
                  Counter Punching

                  Pernell Whitaker
                  Jab
                  Body Punching (Pretty much, the better inside fighter)
                  Workrate (Stamina)

                  I can't say who has the better defense, defense and counter punching go hand in hand and Mayweather > Pernell at that...Not to mention Pernell got dropped many times, due to getting hit while off balance and showboating. When Pernell faught serious, he was very hard to hit. So defense I say a tie, Pernell's display of defense was more entertaining to watch

                  Footwork...I'll say a tie because Mayweather's footwork at 130 was insane, dude could quickly get out of harms way and Pernell is one of the best fighters going backwards

                  Chin is probably the same, although Mayweather only been down once
