Skill + Resume, Floyd >>>> Whitaker

[Sweet Pea 50]

Whitaker definitely beat Chavez and Ramirez the first time...IMO the fight with Oscar could have gone either way or been a draw...it wasnt a travesty.
If you look at their resumes they are comparable.

Both are about dead even in skill, top 5 defensive fighters all time and very underrated offensively and great counter punchers. Mastered the Nuances of the sport....defeated 17 world champions

( if you exclude the WBO) World champions/ Titlists defeated: Mayweather: 17, Whitaker: 14

Lineal titles: Mayweather:3(130, 135, 145) Whitaker: 2(135, 147)

Alpabet titles in weight class: Mayweather, 5....Whitaker, 4

top 5 official wins: Mayweather: ODLH, Hatton, G. Hernandez, Castillo, Corrales

Whitaker: Vazquez, McGirt, Nelson, Mayweather, Ramirez


Mayweather has won 22 titles fights undefeated and Whitaker is 19-2-1 in title fights

Its like comparing apples to oranges...who ever you like I wouldnt argue but to say its a land slide either shows you DKSAB


I say this if Mayweather defeats Canelo and wins his forth lineal title and retires undefeated....he passes Whitaker in resume-wise/legacy in my book...by the numbers he already has, if you add in his skill, longevity and his record. He deserves to past PEA Who is one of my all time favs

I think this is a very fair post. Green.

Floyd gets smoked by Whitaker, who ya'll kidding......

My son just watched this video with me, and the part at 1:32 where Pea evades DLHs punches, he says enthusiastically, "DDDAAAANNNGGGG!! How did he do that?"

The only advantage Floyd may have had, was power, and thats a maybe. Pea was just better at everything and never, ever ducked or made excuses not to fight anyone.

[viperz007]

whitetaker : never ducked anyone
floyd : quack quack quack..... pacquia blow his chance.... quack quack

Keep trying to convince yourself. Head to head Floyd beats pea

[Poet682006]

No convincing needed: Head to head Whitaker beats Floyd.

[AntonTheMeh]

yeah, no.........

[miamike]

Whitaker chased top fighters to get them to fight, not the opposite.

[miamike]

No convincing needed: Head to head Whitaker beats Floyd.

I agree with the purple man here.

lol The only lineal title Mayweather won was the one he beat Baldomir for. He refused to fight Casamayor to unify the super featherweight belt. He only won the WBC lightweight tile and wouldn't unify. He fought for a paper title at super lightweight while the linear champ Tszyu was given the cold shoulder.

Why don't we all just hand out lineal titles to our favorite fighters.
