    Great fighter. A better version of Mayweather. Pea circles all the time on the backfoot wheras Mayweather backs up in striaght lines. Not that I'm slating Mayweather I thinks hes excellent.

    Chavez couldn't get near him often enough.
     
  3. That Chavez fight was outright robbery and even though it isn't his fault I can't like him now due to it.

    ...Floyd definitely backs up in straight lines when pressured MUCH more than Whitaker ever did.

    Holy ****, I cannot believe I'm hearing this.

    Whitaker was 33 when he fought Oscar, well passed his prime? Money is 35 right now and people are saying he's still in his prime.

    Makes sense. 33 and WAY passed his prime. Ok. You can make the argument that he's SLIGHTLY passed his prime but saying that he's way passed it is just ignorant and nuthuggery at it's peak

    Your prime isn't determined by your age. It varies for everybody, you simple ****.

    Get real. Whitaker was still fresh at 31, 2 years of age isn't gonna change a whole lot. Simple ****.

    Is it that hard to accept that PBF would beat him?

    Each case that you can find where he backs up in "str8 lines" i can find 19 cases where he doesn't. That is saying that this person do this bc he have done it before.

    Top 5, but I tend not to rate old fighters highly.

    You dont know ****.

    Different fighters.

    Different careers .

    Different wear and tear.

    Whitaker took much more risks in the ring and he had a drug problem outside of the Ring that shortened his career by a couple of years.

    Vargas and Benitez were already past it by their mid twenties while Hopkins was still going strong in his 40's.

    Like i said ,dif fighters,dif careers,dif wear and tear,dif lifes outside of the ring etc.

    You're simply arguing that Mayweather doesn't back up in straight lines all of the time. I know that. And that's great and all, but you're not refuting the point that I made.

    Whitaker was better off of the backfoot and didn't back up in straight lines nearly as much as Mayweather. There have been many more cases where Mayweather backed up in straight lines, and I've seen the majority of their respective careers.

    You don't know **** about boxing. I'm being real here. Too many excuses. He is a top 15 in my book ATG but PBF still beats him.
