How would Pernell Whitaker do against fighters on Floyd's resume?

[Daddy T]

He'd UD them all

True, you make a good point about the oscar/floyd situation, but to be fair when floyd started calling out oscar he was not an established ppv draw yet...
It was till gatti/judah/baldomir ppv fights that oscar took floyd as a serious opponent that could bring big $$$$$$
Yeah Prime oscar didnt fight floyd, but he was busy fighting hopkins, vargas, mosely so i really cant blame oscar or floyd...

But as far as tito is concerned.... There is no way floyd would tangle with a prime welter tito in the late 90's.... Floyd is a whole lot more skilled but the size and youth of tito would be too much, just like it was for sweet pea who fought nearly the entire fight with a broken jaw...

by the time floyd got to ww tito was long gone. If tito was a ww when floyd got there he'd would have no problem fighting him. I mean no offense but ODH made tito look silly for 7 rounds before he ran like a *****.can you imagine tito catching a quicker, more athletic, more fluid fighter?

true about floyd being a non ppv entity but Bhop and shane weren't big ppv guys either. Vargas was a kid. Mosley also didn't want any of floyd-why risk the ODH paydays?

A loss to bhop (bigger guy) wouldn't have been as bad as a loss to a smaller floyd.

even though, pernell sweet pea whitaker, was the #1 p4p fighter for years, pernell sweet pea whitaker, wasn't the cash cow, that floyd money mayweather came to be...that being said, not only would pernell sweet pea whitaker, wax and polish, everybody on floyd money mayweather jr's, resume, he would have fought cotto and shane, closer to their primes, and he would have fought and beat, everybody that floyd didn't fight (manny pac, p. willlams, margarito, etc)...imo because sweet pea whitaker wasn't the cash cow, and didn't have the luxury of picking opponents...

This is a great post,, with great breakdown of business side of boxing in terms of whitaker's career..... Green K

The problem with theoretical matchups is that they aren't and never will be real. We can certainly imagine what Pernell might look like given his mastery in the ring but that isn't enough to say he'd beat them all imho.

[MurkaMan]

yeah, cherrypicker potshotted Ghost... he barely threw any combinations.

And STILL landed 60% of his power shots. Its really nothing you can say. 60% is 60%. And thats a whole lot.

[The Gambler1981]

All things being equal Sweat Pea beats them all, but there is a reason for all his skills Pea was falling off in year 13 of his career~ so anything after year 13 he is liable of losing.

Hurtado is a pretty good fighter but Pea had to pull that one out of the fire and there are guys better than Hurtado on Floyd's later resume.

Probably goes through 90% of it without much trouble
