who rans higher as a ATG Floyd or Pernell Whitaker

[Jay Volcano]

Floyd Mayweather.

[MalikKnucklez]

Whitaker has a lot of good wins;

Ramirez x2
McGirt x2
Haugen
Nazario
Penelton
Mayweather
Vasquez

These are all very good wins.

Then on top of that he has two ATG's in their prime's in Chavez and Nelson.

You could also argue he beat Oscar in his prime but I felt that could easily have gone either way.

The scoring of course was terrible but you can't complain with the decision IMO. Although I thought Whitaker won, it was close.

Chavez was in his prime in '93?

[IronDanHamza]

This comparing the Marquez win to the Nelson win is sheer comedy.

Whitaker beat a career Super Feather at Lightweight

Floyd beat a career Featherweight at Welterweight

Sheer comedy.

I'm genuinely quite stunned.

[Poet682006]

And the nuthuggers beat on :jerk0ff9:

[IronDanHamza]

Chavez was in his prime in '93?

Perhaps not at his peak, but certainly close.

He was still undefeated albeit I do agree may not have been complete prime.

But again, certainly very close IMO.

what makes nelson better than Hatton or Marquez or Cotto or Mosley or Oscar or Castillo or Corrales

1. Because Nelson is an ATG and none of those names are except Marquez.

2. He was in his prime

[Dirk Diggler UK]

"What makes Azumah Nelson better than Ricky Hatton?"

[Larry the boss]

1. Because Nelson is an ATG and none of those names are except Marquez.

2. He was in his prime

your opinion is calling him an atg.someones elses opinion may say cotto,mosley,oscar,hatton are atg's what did Nelson do that was so damn great?

[MARKBNLV]

Key word was "prime"

Corrales Castillo Hatton and Judah were all prime none of them were past it.

[MalikKnucklez]

Corrales Castillo Hatton and Judah were all prime none of them were past it.

Actually, by some of the Pernell-Chavez logic that is being used in this thread,

Floyd fought Cotto at his prime too.
