Who's better: Roy Jones or Pernell Whitaker?

[Sweet Pea 50]

and got knocked out by a journey man mexican cab driver years before when chavez sr was in his prime and whitaker wanted nothing to do with him

I just watched Pea vs Chavez last night. Probably for the 20th time.

It was a catch weight fight, by the way.

Pea won by a wide margin. And I'm being diplomatic.

I love Roy but Pea's got him here. Roy is severely, underrated but Pea is top ten IMO.

[Eliyahu]

Easy choice...

I say RJjr easily, but I liked Sweet Pea a lot. I also believe he beat Chavez and DLH, but was robbed. Drugs did him in though - as we can clearly see when he fought Tito. Though I believe Tito would have beaten him w/o his addiction problems.

I agree about roy and sweet pea.

The only thing for me is what sweet pea had, you can teach. what roy had, either god gives it to you or he doesn't.

Whitaker ..........

I hear you.

RJJ in his prime offensively was well, damn near super human.

Speed kills.

And it really gets no faster then Jones at 160-168.

[Kagami Taiga]

they were both the same type of fighter. excellent specimen. pea was more gifted defensively and roy offensively. pea is the more accomplished fighter tho

[Doctor_Tenma]

Roy at his best, it's hard to look at anyone who I would have favored over him. Pernell Whitaker was clearly more versatile than Roy Jones, so with that said I don't think you can go wrong with either pick. I prefer Whitaker by the way.

So basically, two completely different fighters.
