    On this topic of Duran-Whitaker......
    .......Whitaker would never open himself up enough offensively to even have a chance at the cards against Duran.

    The one advantage that Duran had over JC Chavez is the mean streak in him.......he would have never allowed Whitaker to go low on him, much less twice in a round without serious retribution.

    Pea is a dirty fighter, but Duran is dirtier........when he'd miss Whitaker, shoulders, arms and elbows would be sure to follow on Whitaker's being......and Duran was as good as anyone at disguising it too.......


    Like anytime that Whitaker is in with a live opponent, its an ugly fight, but one that Duran wins comfortably on the cards imo.

    If Whitaker were to fight to win and offensively seriously tried to do something, I think he'd be competitive with Duran.....Whitaker would'nt go that route however.

    The JCC of the 135 lbs had all the tools to defeat Pea

    @135 Whitaker does the same number on Chavez that he did at 147, when they both were past their peaks. Whitaker would twice more mobile, quicker, and more on his toes.

    that's what you have to do if you're a southpaw. I brought this up not long ago in the Monzon-Hagler matchup

    as for how to beat Pernell, the answer is easy: you find another southpaw, equally slick only faster. A fighter such as Hector Camacho

    True, but what i'm getting at is how would he react if he was forced to his left for instance???

    Nar i just wanted to mention him, because he simply hasn't been mentioned, i was bored!

    It's not an easy fight for Pernell Whitkaker though
