    Slicker Pernell
    but I would call Floyd more efficient.

    Sweet Pea had more/wider range of upper body movement. I guess that would make him "slicker". In the end, a fighter goes with a style he's most effective with. I dont think floyd would be any better if he tried to fight like Pernell and vise versa.

    Floyd would defend and had the ability to do his pull counter thing which is a sight to see.

    Pea just wouldn't get ****ing hit then would move away just mocking the person for even trying.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but would'nt sweet pea be slicker since he beat the crap out of the guy that trains floyd to be slick?

    Pernell is a bit more black, so he is a bit more slick as well.

    Floyd is more graceful but Whitaker's defense is more flashy.
