who ranks higher and why.whitaker,floyd

Floyd - Due to his longevity

 

Love both guys but I gotta go with Pernell . . . anyone who saw him fight back in the day would know why . . . not to mention he has a better resume and was not clearly beaten until Tito when he was shot to **** and coked out of his head.

 

Pernell-He beat Chavez and Oscar no matter what the official decision was.

 

Whitaker he's a top 15 ATG.:deal

 

If you ask this question in 10 years time it will be a landslide for Mayweather.

 

Whitaker, to my mind, is a top ten ATG. Unified at lightweight, won titles in four divisions, first guy to kick Chavez' ass, arguably didn't lose a fight until he was 35 years old when he was beset by alcohol and drug abuse.

Floyd is likely to be a top ten ATG in the future but I would need to wait until he's retired before I could compare his stats to Whitaker's. It's going to be a close call though because Mayweather is a genius and one of the best to ever lace them. PERIOD!

 

They are both in my top 25 easily. But i think Whitaker edges it

 

floyd for me. fought more top opponents, beat more top opponents.

 

Resume and H2H ability the guy is a stylistic nightmare for pretty much anyone including dare I say it...PBF.

 

Says who?

almost everyone agrees that he beat both JCC and Ramirez. His lose to Oscar is questionable as well. He fought Great, great fighters in a great era

PBF is the best fighter SINCE Pernell, I consider Pernell top 10-15 ATG, Higher than Bhop who is top 50 and PBF who is top 25-30. However, I usually do not like to rank fighters until after they retire.

 

I think PBF is vastly underrated but it is not close to Pernell's
