    Whitaker was very overrated just like Pwill. PAC Ko's him in the 4th/5th rd.

        We can see if Pac can beat pure defensive boxers like floyd. But for now, Ill pick Whitaker. Manny is having problems catching Cotto in the early rounds and Pernell is better at avoiding punches.

          Whitaker get's a lot of praise here, but there isn't anything amazing that the man did, other than avoid punches and look good doing it. He lost to the best men on his resume, but was considered not in his prime.

          same goes for Duran vs Whitaker, I'd give that one to Duran by a long shot.
          God damn get off Pacquiao's ****. Every damn fantasy matchup (or general topic for that matter) with Manny involved you just mindlessly start ****riding him and discrediting the other fighter.

          Are you kidding? Whitaker also had a well rounded offence, and it's not like it's easy to make top level pro fighters look ****** missing punches.

            Pernell was never even decisively beaten until he was a past prime drug addict vs Trinidad. Do you morons even realise how signifcant that is? He really was an excellent fighter and he wan't just a great defensive fighter, he was a good body puncher and like poet said he had a reasonable work rate too.

                  NO, they don't know. They just started watching boxing. They view Manny in a vacuum with no history of the sport. As Roger Mayweather would say "[they] don't know **** about boxing".

                  This poll is blasphemous. But don't worry, it all ends Mar 13 and Mar 14 these phony boxing fans will be gone. Praise the Lord!

                    In fairness though the *****s do the same thing: Check out "King Burner" aka Flawless' posts.
