    I'd pick Ortiz to beat him personally. Why the outright no no on Buchanan against Whitaker?

    again its my speed theory, in the Burley thread.

    Dont get me wrong Ken does things differently to Pea and i think he holds a stylistic advantage over Ortiz whereas Pea would struggle and maybe not even beat Ortiz

    I think that Ortiz would beat him and it would be a tough hard fight thaken inside as well. I think both men are superb ring generals, and Ortiz' strength would enable him to grind out a decision, personally.

    maybe it is a tough fight and Buchanan down the stretch is amazing the last 5 rounds would be a war

    definitly the last 5 rounds would be among the best in history and the first 10 would be among the best technically in history

    Smitty, just by asking that question you show that you are miles ahead of your peers. Between two southpaws My guess is the one with the slower reaction time is going to come off second best.

    What stylistic advantage does he hold over Ortiz? I don't think their actual fight gives any insight as to what a prime matchup between the two would look like. Ortiz was shot to ****.

    But explain that last part.

    I know Ortiz was shot to hell. He shouldnt have fought Ken and he was actually scheduled to fight Duran that night.

    I just think Ken has the right style to beat Ortiz. when Ortiz (albeit in a not so good performance) lost to Laguna it was his lateral movement and his jab that caused Ortiz problems.

    Ortiz had more sucess when he used the jab but he still had some difficulties. i think Ken had a better jab than Laguna and was harder to hit with a jab. Also i think Ken held the middle of the ring better and Ortiz would find it hard to cut him off.

    However it is a very very close fight probabbly a SD.

    I think Ken does things differently to Pea that would hold him in good stead in this fight. Pea fought alot on the inside which i dont thinks that great against Ortiz. The Pea in Ramirez 1 would do better against Ortiz than Pea in Ramirez 2.

    What makes me wonder in disbelief at times on here or in here in ESB is.

    Why the **** so many think Sweet Pea the Poster not actually Pernell is some sort of knowledge and god at picking apart fights and thinking he knows more than others about who would KO who or who would beat who.

    Like ive said and will continue to say he is an armchair expert like all of us nothing more nothing less.

    Sweet Pea i sometimes agree with you but most the time i find it laughable that so many think your some sort of Bert Sugar of Boxing.

    How funny it is to watch the hoards of posters fill his ego with talking about how great Whitaker was and feeding him little what i like to call. Ill set em up Sweet Pea will knock em down type posts.

    Classic forum cracks me up. Sweet Pea how good is Pernell no Common tell us. Please i havnt heard it before.

    Hey can we start say another thread about Whitaker tommorow Please.

    Common respond Sweet Pea play the game.

    Noone takes his word as law, he's just a good poster who others respect, just like others. If we don't agree, we debate, if we do agree, we say 'good post', know what i mean?

    There are a few not naming anyone that have straws attached to his ring hole though. :lol: And he loves it. Its funny. He knows what im talking about.

    Sweet Pea if he had a boxing name to go with his Posting name it would be.

    Former Straw weight Champion of the North America's Sweet MR EGO Peaaaaaaaaaaaaa. :rofl

    Hoped you liked that one Pea that was for you.
