Who was harder to hit RJJ or Pernell Whitaker

[RVABoxer]

I see highlights of both of them and just think damn how did they even see that coming, both had great reflexes. In their primes who was more slick and defensively sound fighter?

wtf do you think? since when was RJJ known for his defense? lol

He was known for his amazing athleticism, combos, speed, power.

[Bob Saddler]

Whitaker and it isnt even close

Honestly never seen that many full fights of Roy in his prime just asking cause im going by what I've seen on highlights

Harder to hit, tough one, Pernell had the much better defense if we're talking about fundamentals.

Roy Jones Jr. rarely felt the embrace of another mans leather in his prime.

Whitaker was harder to hit.

Pernell had the best footwork I have ever seen. It's hard to compare his defense with anybody else.

Whitaker and its not even debatable. Theirs no YouTube videos of Roy Jones just ducking and dodging shots like they were nothing.
