Absolute peaks - Roy Jones jr or Pernell Whitaker ?

Gotta go with my man Roy. Roy would do whatever he wanted to do in the ring

 

Whitaker in my eyes, he was slick and fast and outclassed almost everyone put in front of him. Jones is also a great but i think at the ultimate peaks whitaker just edges it.

 

Whitaker was more technically skilled, while Jones was just as hard to deal with due to his amazing physical gifts. Two of the very best of all time in terms of ability.

 

I'm waiting for Rico to come in and say that Roy ducked Whitaker because he knows he would of got his Glass Jaw shattered. The Sweet Pea will post a picture of the creature from Mario Bros.

 

Oh yeah, I heard that fight was pretty close to coming off

 

The ***** never even attempts to come back at me either. His balls must be as proportionally large as his head.

 

Probably. I remember the first time I seen the picture of him and the Creature thing, and I swear my ribs hurt from laughing. Priceless stuff.

 

tough one.
pernell out classed 5 division champions.
love them both but maybe im just a bit more biased towards pernell.

 

that dude is a ****en joke

 

Pernell Whitaker, IMO
Roy wasted alot of fight's against Nobody's...

"It ain't that I fought Nobody, I just made them look like NOBODY!"
Y'all Must have forgot!" - Roy Jones Jr.

 

It's ridiculously close in terms of ability, but to me Pernell was an overall more effective fighter. Given that each man is fighting an opponent of the same size, I think there are better chances for certain styles, whatever they may be, of beating Jones than there are for Whitaker. Very slight edge to Pernell (who was greater by the way, even if there is hardly anything seperating them in terms of ability).

 

well said.
i def did over look the cruiser weight.

cheers

 

I don't have time to go into why just now, will do so tomorrow, but I'll give my answer now: Whitaker. Close but clear.

Two of the most talented fighters to ever lace up a pair of gloves IMO.
