Poll: Pernell Whitaker vs Manny Pacquiao?

No you can't pac was prime and beat a drained dead old and shot oscar. Pea was old and clowned and dropped and arguably beat a prime oscar, big difference there. Pea is a master boxer on a level far greater than jmm he schooled jcc ffs and was robbed. Nothing suggest that a guy like pac who struggles against master boxers like jmm and pbf can beat pea, who's atleast pbf level possibly better.The most logical conclusion is that he gets taken to slick school and clowned.

 

If a shot erik Morales BEAT a prime Pac i have no doubt that a prime pea would beat pac even worse. Do you see how that works?

 

Marquez is nothing at all like Whitaker, Marquez is a boxer, counterpuncher and can trade if he wants, and counterpunching is the thing that Pacquiao struggles with because he is so offensively minded, he can walk on to counter shots if you time him, Whitaker doesn't do that, he likes to hit people then make them miss, I've never seen Pacquiao struggle with a slick boxer using head movement, Pacquiao could pin him down and go to the body whilst Whitaker is using all that head movement, and then go back up top, Pacquiao is one of the best combination punchers ever and very fast feet and handed and being offensive with fast hands and fast feet is exactly the style to beat slick boxers and if man like Jose Luis Ramirez can beat Whitaker, so can Pacquiao

 

And if Jeff Horn can beat Pacquiao, so can Whitaker.

 

Seriously, though, how many Whitaker fights have you watched? He was a godly counter-puncher. His entire style was built on staying within punching range while sticking the jab and working the body whenever things got too close.

Pacquiao had no inside game to speak of. Not at any point in his career. He looked outright amateurish when backed up against the ropes. There isn't a range where he'd have an advantage over Whitaker.

 

Pac was a one handed fighter in Morales 1. No way that is the prime Pac.

 

He was prime as far as his age. Pac was always limited though especially against thinking boxers who could figure him out. Guys like pbf jmm erik Morales would always give him fits.

 

Sweet Pete schools him

 

Except ramirez didn't really beat pea whitaker now did he? pea whitaker has the jab the educated footwork defense workrate ring iq and countering to give pac hell. He's much more complete than jmm and demonstrated this against jcc who he schooled and got robbed. An overly aggressive somewhat one dimensional guy like pac who prefers mid range would be picked apart and frustrated by his inability to mount much offense against pea he will not land combos on pea him being a combo puncher is irrelevant against someone not there to be hit nor will he hit him in the body. Jcc who's light years better at cutting the ring and going to the body found little success doing that to pea. But you think pac can? Sounds like wishful thinking to me. Pac would find himself out of position getting hit and clowned hes not hard to find for a master like pea who will control range and dictate distance on him all night.

If pac lost to horn torrecampo a faded erik Morales and jmm just to name a few then without a doubt he gets taken to slick school and embarrassed by pea. Pac is very beatable people really need to stop overrating him because he came through alot of weight classes. His best win down there is MAB who in his own right is overrated. Pea whitaker is clearly much better than anyone pac beat.

 

Pac only struggles with Mexican warrior atg heavy hitters for some reason. Slicks don't even bother him. Very true and i agree with what you said. History shows us that. They are just tough or tougher and as strong or stronger than Pac. Must be something in the food or water over there. Slick boxer are a different breed whilst they are cute and do alot of hypnotizing move. Pac drops that left hammer on them they start to get scurred or bust up real easy. Just my thoughts.

 

GTFO with that BS. Name me one slick boxer Pac had trouble with? the one that was suppose to slick was scurred to engage his papa said it. I am not making that up....In the corner after round 4.

Pac history shows he has problems with the warriors. The Mexican legend the true heavy hitters over there. Are a different breed. I agree sweet flea is slick. But he hasn't a buzzsaw that is as fast as him and hits harder than him.

Here you go again. That Pac will get schooled it's an easy fight. And yet the slickest boxer took 6 years to fight Emmanuel ducking and making excuses. When they did fight he was doing a lot side ways, backing up, zig zags around the ring.

 

Here I go again? Do I know you?

 

Pacquiao improved greatly after the first Morales loss. As someone else said, he added more weapons to his arsenal; the right hook, etc.

In the rematches, Pacquiao showed his improvements and schooled Morales.

 

Ill take a prime pete whitaker over anybody all time period.

 

Good man.
