Who's the better defensive fighter Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Pernell Whitaker?

[!! Shawn]

Both are/were great..but i say Mayweather because he counters better off of his defense and he has been able to do it over a longer period of time.

Holy **** larry, did you finally discover Locche?

I guess ask yourself if Whitaker would absorb 75% of Maidana's punches for the first 6 rounds they fought

Amazing

Pea by default
He was a southpaw.
While neither guy was a KO threat at WW, May was still wisely trading punches.
Also, I give May's opponents an edge over Pea's.
So May was in harms way more often.

He was "Sweet Pea" for a reason.

This would've been an interesting fight.

Good memories in this thread.

So many of the good posters of old are no longer here.

Very close poll as it should be.
