they could have a trilogy and mayweather would come out 3-0. im really big on pernell but his defensive skills pale in comparison to mayweathers. the thing about pernell is that he awed fans because of his flashy defense where as mayweathers is not flashy, but much more effective. pernell got hit way more than mayweather ever did.

Throughout his career, Whitaker proved he was better than Mayweather.
Brilliant amateur career
Outstanding fighter and gold medalist at the Olympics
Stepped up early, beat two-division champion Roger Mayweather in his 12th pro fight
Cleaned out and unified the lightweight division with 8 defenses of his title against JL Ramirez, Greg Haugen, Azumah Nelson, Juan Nazario, Jorge Paez, Freddie Pendleton
Won a 140 lb belt from the dangerous Rafael Pineda
Defeated linear welterweight champion Buddy McGirt
Defended title against JC Chavez p4p number 1 ranked fighter at the time
Total 8 successful defenses against top ranked WW's
Won a junior middleweight title from hard-hitting, long-reigning champ Julio Cesar Vasquez
Lost a disputed decision to an up and coming Oscar De La Hoya

mayweather>whitaker.
sorry if i think that mayweather would beat him but mayweather is not going to end up punch drunk.
In terms of styles,resume,accomplishments IMO Whitaker is better.
And he ain't punch drunk either.
