Attribute Test (Mayweather vs. Whitaker)

Both great posts !! Whitaker always wanted the best and he wanted the bragging rights that came with beating the best !!

 

Haha very funny !! When has he displayed it ??? When ??? He won`t even sign a contract to fight the best in their weights or at their prime, and he has heart ?? Hearns,and SRL would have eaten his heart and destroyed him. ****, he would have feinted if he ever looked up into Hearns eyes during a staredown... Determined yes, to keep his phony O alive against cherry picked opponents !

 

You obviously do not know ****.

Floyd fought through injuries, torn shoulder, broken hands, and when he did get hurt he fights back. And as well when he is against a tough battle, he always fight back.

Floyd was crowned the division champ in his 18th fight and fought 20 championship matches and he hasn't fought anyone?

You are obviously a hater.

 

JMM, Oscar, Mosley, Castillo, Corrales.
EASY!

- Equal

 

Agreed.

Easily? How is it easily?

How is his defense being "flash" take away from the fact that he evades punches extremely adeptly?

Whitaker has been down a handful of times, due to his balance. 2 or 3 tops in his prime if I remember right. Floyd has been down once against Judah, though there was absolutely no pushing of the head or anything. It was clean. There's little separating the two in terms of knockdowns, and defense is really more about the continuous ability to evade blows than it is about how many times you've slipped up. Whitaker's defensive performances against Chavez was more impressive than anything Floyd has offered. Constant lateral movement, relentless shifts in upper body positioning, responsible and perfectly timed offense. What performance does Floyd have to compare? None of his best offensive opponents pushed him to that level, and when they did challenge Floyd, Floyd got tagged and controlled to an extent. I'd be fine with saying they were equal, but Floyd being superior simply isn't evident.

Whitaker was stopped far past his best so that's irrelevant.

I don't think you have an argument for ring generalship so that goes to Whitaker, and even overlaps with the argument about defensive prowess.

 

Like i say if you like the showboat type of defense (ala Jones also) that avoids punches but does little in return then thats your taste.

Floyd can do what whitaker did except his defense hurts you a lot more than Pea. He is there to punish your mistake. Take Oscar for an example... he backs Floyd to the rope coming in. Floyd parries and as soon as he sees an opening. Right to the chin, 1 sec later another one. His eyes NEVER leaves his opponent.

And i'll repeat again. Try it yourself in a fight and you will know which is harder to perform.

A lot of what pea does for defense will fail him as soon as he gets old. Just ask Jones jr.
And as soon as pea got a little out of prime, he wasn't nearly as effective.

Floyd got both. It is no contest.

 

bunch of bs. didn't even bother to read. That guy is better bc i said so mess. You got ZERO prove.

It is clear, that you are not a very logical person.

 

@ bogo,

Put it this way. If i have the ability to master the style between the two, i would pick Floyd.

Pea's defense lacks control. He is a lot like Jones, he relies on his atlethicism. Floyd has both and his defense is built to last. He controls his opponents. He takes his opponents punches away, punishes their mistake, and he counters extremely well.

Take Oscar vs Pea for example. I had Oscar won the close match. Sure Pea made Oscar miss but HE DIDN'T do anything to punish Oscar. He was out of range and shot jabs at Oscar.

When Floyd avoids punches, he counters back with hard shots that is accurate and Flush. Hard to lose the decision and hard to be outworked when you can't hit him but he is tagging his opponents left and right.
