Who has the better resume Pernell Whitaker or Manny Pacquiao?

This pearler from the guy who thinks winning a bronze medal makes you the Olympic champion.

The truth is that the overwhelming majority of fans of one fighter(Floyd fans especially, but Pac fans,Klit fans etc.) dont actually know very much about the sport at all. There are very few exceptions.

You heckle me for calling a bronze medalist a champion.

Meanwhile you and your entire family allowed each other to starve so that Imelda could have the newest Jimmy Choo's.

And you call me ******?????????????

You're out of your league, Short Round.

Pernell by a wide margin.

It's all Pac!!!

Floyd was robbed in the olympics

He won't remember that. Junior Gong didn't have access to a "magic box" back then.

LOL at you wanting someone to watch one fight of each to decide who is better.

You guys can't really see anything beyond your narrow and biased views. Those videos are good examples to use to compare their skills against credible opponents. Actually Pac was against a better boxer in Cotto.

If you disagree, prove your assertions with credible evidences. Show Pernell's resume side by side with Pac's. Compare the fighters they fought. Compare their styles especially in those fights that they did in their primes.
Don't come here with a dumb statement like, "Pernell is more skilled than Pac and would beat Pac at any weight" and assume that people should accept that because you say so.

I didn't read past your first sentence. It's a lost cause.

This guy....Whitaker in his prime would have beat Pacquiao. If Pac can't figure out Marquez, who's an ATG, how the hell would he figure out Pernell??? This is of course for those of us who actually watched boxing when Pernell was in his prime, where as a ton of people on here didn't watch boxing until 2007/2008-present......

And Pacquiao has a good resume, but not one of the best "ever". Ali and Leonard have better resume's than Pacquiao.

Liston, Frazier, Foreman, Patterson/Benitez, Hearns, Duran, Hagler > Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Cotto

All 3 are great, but Ali and Leonard have 2 of the best resume's ever. Pac has a good resume.

You just sound like a person who always has older fighters rated higher, just because people say older boxes eras were better

Im a believer that yeah there are some great old fighters...but todays day and age, boxers have better training, better facilities....better treatment for injuries etc....so in my opinion they would be better

Im not saying those old fighters dont have better resumes...but im sure arguments could be made for alot

[tatangb45]

Whitaker has 4 losses & Manny has 3 BUT Whitaker never loss to guys like Medgoen Singsurat & Rustico Torrecampo

From your own post;

Qoute, "Hey ******... you can't judge a resume just off names when you fought the fighters and under what circumstance is relevant when evaluating ones resume."

Is that your best response? And you actually think you're a boxing fan?
Pathetic!

I agree with ^^^, but the older fighters were tougher, had more heart and definitely more determination.

Many people, including myself, argue that today's sports science is way more advanced, but we have yet to explain why most boxers today are completely spent by the 12th round and the older guys were going 15.

Today's guys are better athletes. Yesterdays guys are tougher, more durable and can go longer.

Keeping in mind that these are sweeping generalizations. No one description fits every boxer of an entire era.

Pac has the better resume between the 2
Whitaker is the superior fighter between the 2

I agree, but only because Pac had multiple wars with Morales, JMM, and MAB. To be fair though, I will concede that Whitaker fought JCC, Trinidad, McGirt, and ODH when he was relevant. I'm just a fan of grudge matches so it weighs more for me. If Whitaker had another go at ODH or Tito, I may be leaning the other way.

EDIT: Forgot to add, Whitaker would have defeated Pacquiao.
