Well sweet pea was by far the better combination puncher. Defense, footwork, straight shots (especially jab), conditioning goes to Floyd. I give Sweet pea the advantage with overall power shots, but I think Floyd's left hook trump anything sweet peas has got.
Well first off Sugar's 100 best boxers list doesn't even include Mayweather, but has Whitaker at 48. In terms of others, Ronnie Shields: http://www.fightsaga.com/news/item/...er-defensive-fighter-than-Floyd-Mayweather-Jr "I would have to say that Pernell Whitaker was a better defensive fighter than Floyd Mayweather Jr," affirms Ronnie Shields. "I have to be honest...I have to say Pernell Whitaker was the better defensive fighter of the two just for the simple reason that Pernell has fought the better competition," claims the world renowned fight trainer. "Floyd Mayweather was not fighting the best competition in their prime. You know, Pernell fought everybody in their prime...people who were very highly regarded in the sport of boxing said the same thing after facing Pernell. They would all say that you couldn't hit him. If they did hit him, they would get hit back ten-fold." De La Hoya, who fought both: http://www.odessa-boxing.com/en-US/12368/de_la_hoya_whitaker_more_difficult_than_mayweather "Pernell Whitaker was more difficult. He has the better resume obviously. He fought the better fighters. Whitaker was very slippery, but Whitaker actually always stood his ground and fought you. He was just very elusive in the waist. Different styles, but Whitaker obviously had the better resume going into [our] fight." Call me when you round up those "most experts" who agree with you.
This content is protected GIF soup won't allow me to create a GIF of the entire intended snippet. Floyd sets a trap to get inside and deliver bodyshots (right hook to the liver, left hook to the liver, and right to the body). In the next second, which I was unable to include, he feints a jab to land a right hook to Hoya's head. Then a series of assaults for Oscar's head after those shots left him worried about his body. Floyd can be a good body puncher when the situation calls for it. He's very deceptive.
DLH/Ronnie Shields. DLH is a notorious Mayweather hater. Why would he ever be objective? DLH beat Pernell too. I can see why he would say that LOL. He's too damn butthurt that Mayweather beat him 9-3 on most peoples' scorecards. Ronnie Shields worked with Pernell. Try again kiddo. Learn something about boxing. These aren't experts. 1 is a gay nuthugger and the other is a complete ****** (Oscar) who never could solve Floyd's defense. :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl :dead
