Whitaker vs. Mayweather

Mayweathers style isn't effective against Southpaws so Pernell would have an edge + being a great fighter.

Really close could go either way maybe a couple of rounds towards Pernell IMO.

What style? The shoulder roll? He didn't use it against Zab.

Pernell would school Floyd.

I'll be a little bit more leaning towards Pernell Whitaker.

Yea so he has to change it to a more conventional stance.

Chuck Norris would win this fight by roundhouse kicking both Floyd and Pernell in the legs and then jabbing them repeatedly until the ref steps in.

He goes into the Winky Wright stance but he still does it just as fluidly as his normal stance. He loses power because you cant load up and land on a good defender but its much easier for you to land in that stance because your hands are already forward. Thats how he kept tagging Zab & Corley. It would be a good fight. I think Floyd would be more aggressive against Pea than he was against Zab because you could tell that he really respected Zab's power. If Zab was righty then Floyd wouldnt respect it because he doesnt think a righty can hit him clean but Zab's combo of Southpaw & power had to be respected. The same wont be said for Pea. He could stun Floyd but I dont think Floyd really fears that he could be messed up in one shot by Pea.

Its an very interesting fight but alot of this goes back to what Ive always said. Im the biggest Sweet Pea fan there is but the fact is that being a Southpaw is a huge huge huge advantage in boxing and people dont talk about it enough. If Pac was righty then he easily loses both those fights to JMM. If Pea was a righty then I think he loses to Floyd without a doubt. If Floyd was a lefty then everyone would be calling him maybe the best ever

Whitaker beats him at any weight.

Better fighter overall.
