Pernell Whittaker - How do you beat him.

I'd beat him the same way Chavez drew with him and De La Hoya beat him. Pay off the judges.

 

I think you need a fighter with talent but the trick would for this fighter you pick to have all these things.

He would need great hand speed.
He would need to have great Power.
He would need to have very very awesome footwork.
He would need to have the great ability to cut off the ring.
He would need to have a great output of punch's thrown and keep a great pace.

If you really watch you can see as Whitaker got older most notable against Tito he had weakness's.

I feel Manny Pacquiao at 135 would be a decent fight. Would he win not sure.
I feel Ike Williams is another at 135 that would have a decent chance.
And of course Roberto Duran is the other that would give Sweet Pea a hell of a fight.

At 147 its a differnent story.

Hank Armstrong would be a great opponent.
Tommie Hearns would be a great opponent.
But surely the one that stands out is Ray Leonard.

As for picking winners in all those fights.

Flip a coin.

 

I think the best way to beat him is about 2 years before you are set to fight him..buy a **** load of coke and leave it in his letterbox.

That should put things on a level playing field by fight time.

 

Or you could go with this great idea.:good Nice Rock.

 

Which means absolutely nothing.

 

No....Hearns nearly killed himself to make 147 to fight Leonard which actually cost him the fight down the strech,I have a good substatute for you Roger Mayweather he could hit him and hurt him.

 

Hearns would kill him at 147,thats just bad matchup for sweetpea,but your gonna need someone thats hearns like,Roger Mayweather would be the man for the job,and the wild card would be Aaron Pryor,you need some pop in your shot to keep the Hawk off of you and Pernell does not have that,i think Aaron punishes him,I thinkRoger can get to him often and hurt him,and he catches him good he's out,im not sure he can hurt Mayweather the fighters that did take Mayweather out could lay bricks,but anyway those are the only choices i see.

 

Whitaker already whupped Mayweather, when Pea only had about 10 fights and Mayweather was already an experienced ex-champion.

 

Yeah but knowwhere near a prime R.Mayweather,it would have been totally different,that was kinda like when Holmes beat Ali. both were way way past their primes.

 

It was nothing like Ali against Holmes; Mayweather was only 25 and still a top ranked contender, later to become a champion again.

 

Correction Mayweather was 34 and had been in wars in the 80's and early 90's this fight was in 1995 what the hell are you talking about? Even then Mayweather had him down and hurt on several occations and he was landing the jab at will a Prime Mayweather would have stopped him at 135.

 

even i would pick pea to whitewash alexis on the cards.he is all wrong for arguello.

 

roger was 26 it was in 1987 you moron

 

I disagree i think Alexis had a chance his hands were quicker than people gave him credit for,Pryor would be to much for Whitaker,Johnny Bumphus would be another canidate and Howard Davis as well.

 

I got the dates mixed up,but watch the moron sh!t *** or you can be on the canvas.
