                          How would Mancini have handled him? Oh..by losing 12 rounds to zero. If El Gran Campeon couldn't touch Pernell...mancini would have zero chance.

                                  Nah Chavez beat him. Running, holding, and throwing low blows don’t win fights. Power punches count. Jabs don’t. Jabs just set the range for the power shot. Whitaker lost to paez too. Rip champ

                                      Floyd said Pernell was the only fighter that he felt would've made him bring out his A game.

                                      That would have been some fight if they both could've fought in their prime.
