Can you imagine what people would say about Pernell Whitaker if he fought today?

[$tate of Mind]

I could see it now. All Sweet Pea does is run. Pernell hits like a girl. Pernell isn't a good offensive fighter. How can he win fights fighting on the back foot? He's a boring counter puncher that isn't aggressive. Lol so many people don't appreciate what boxing really is. What a shame!

I know one thing, Pacquiao sure as hell doesn't fight him.

You're saying it like he fought in jack johnsons time, he fought not too long ago

Nope, and if he did he would get thoroughly embarrassed.

When Sweet Pea fought there was no internet, nowadays there a lot of message board posters who don't even appreciate the art of boxing.

Doesn't mean people's thoughts about him would have changed. Point is majority of people found him boring, just like Ivan Calderon.

And people don't appreciate boxing because they don't like his style? pa-lease! Boxing is a sport Of endless styles! His style does not represent boxing

If Sweet Pea fought today people would be saying wow you're 47 give it up old man.

Boxing= the ability to hit and not get hit, hence the term the "sweet science". There's a difference between boxing and fighting.

The sport is called boxing not fighting.......
