Poll Prime Pernell Whitaker vs Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[IronDanHamza]

whittaker beat a prime oscar
maywaether squeaked out a decision against an older one

Yay triangle theories!

Never have a fantasy match up without one.

Even though the Whitaker fight I felt he should have won was alot closer than Floyds win over Oscar.

Not that it even makes any remote ****ing difference.

None will look like defensive maestros in this fight, I know it's all fantasy, but I could bet on that.

I don't think the jab would be as effective and useful a weapon some are making it out to be.

a jab like Whitaker's would have been a pain in the ass to any fighter throughout history.

also it would work quite well against Mayweather's style of defense since he always keeps his left hand low. He usually reacts by shoulder rolling right hands, but Whitaker's jab was fast and never left him off balance. because it forces him to move his head, Whitaker could measure the left hand based on Mayweather reaction.

Maybe it wouldnt land a huge amount, but as a setup tool I think it would be very significant. so it would still play a pretty big part.

floyd's midsection is too open vs pea.

pea could aslo make floyd come out of his shell by taking an early lead and flipping his style to d so floyd couldn't figure him out.

i have pea by a competitive decision.

not sure about that...especially if Pernell somehow forced Floyd to be the aggressor ie. taking the early rounds

I agree 100%.

It's be a close fight but I give it to Pernell, he's a better boxer and has way better reflexes than Floyd IMO. From a technical stand point it's a great chess match.

interesting to see if that jab to the body which lead to head shots would have been effective with Pernell

Good post, don't have time now but I will explain why I said that tomorrow.

I say the fight will never happen.

Prime Floyd Mayweather will never fought a prime Whitaker.

Trust me.

It would be close for a couple rds but Sweet Pea's movement and body work would have Floyd wondering what he was doing wrong as he would hardly land any punches.

Pernell wins 8 rds to 4
