    Not a who would have won thread, we've had enough of them.

    But how would you assess their individual qualities, who was better at what?
    e.g

    Whitaker had the better jab
    Speed?
    Defence?
    Boxing IQ?

    Boxing IQ- Mr.Mayweather
    Speed- Gotta go with Mayweather
    Defense- Is this even a q? Sweet Pea was great but Mayweather is on a different level.
    Footwork- Whitaker
    Better fighter- Mayweather
