    i don't care who would have won but it would have been great to see it.

    i know most people would pick whitaker but i'm sure fenech would have given him hell.

    Wrong weight for Fenech to tackle with any authority.

    weight is immaterial, Jeff would never have gotten near Sweet-Pea! You are talking about a bloke who never dropped a round against Azumah Nelson

    I have to agree with Phil. Whitaker is in a different class.

    never dropped a rnd against nelson? u must have watched a different fight, that's complete rubbish. pernell may have been the better man but nelson managed to win at least 4 rounds.

    what weight? well i think it's pretty obvious that it would be at 135.

    fenech would have put much more pressure on pernell to make it interesting.

    i'm certainly not saying that fenech would clearly win or anything but i think it would have been quite competitive. jeff was expected to have trouble in several fights but he would bulldog his way to victory.

    Bull****... in the nicest possible way.

    Fenech would have toppled against Pernell quicker than Phillip Holiday had 'iced' him. Had Fenech moved up in weigh sooner, he'd still be out of it. As soon as he'd met a strong sF/W (azumah in Melbourne) the impact on himself was clear indication to his future at any weigh class above Featherweight. Grove & Holiday both showed the same.

    Fenech was great at pushing around smaller men in lower weight classes. As soon as he met great fighters comfortable in their own weight, he was on the canvas.

    Probably find better arguements matching him with feathers.

    i don't agree.

    fenech was clearly the winner at the same weight against nelson in fight one. so he obviously had the ability. i think u will find it was his change in attitude and his heart wasn't in it amongst otherthings after he was robbed against nelson in the first fight otherwise he would have clearly gone back down in weight again as his body would have allowed him to. he just didn't have the same hunger anymore and had obvious badly damaged hands which made things very difficult for him.

    This fight couldnt be possible, Fenech was at his best at 126, If Whitaker could make 126 Fenech would batter him IMO. Whitaker was a lot bigger. If your going to talk of Prime VS Prime then theres a fair few KGs between them. At his ideal Weight Fenech would give anyone a tough night.

    Good point mate , P4P Fenech was a handful for anyone but in a straight P4P fight ? Sweatpea prevails imo .
