Floyd Mayweather vs. Pernell Whitaker

Yeah I do believe it, why would Floyd lie about that??

 

Totally false story. Floyd never even said he embarrassed him, he simply said he acquitted himself well or something like that. He was I believe 15 or 16... Surely you don't believe a world champion would go all out at a boxing camp for kids and teenagers.. Surely you don't

 

Why would the hype machine better known as Money May embellish a story? You're a gullible one aren't you. Listen to the interview again, he never said he embarrassed him.

 

Well if Mayweather is a hype machine then what are the rest of the pretenders that are fighting these days??? I do know Roger Mayweather gave Whitaker hell and he's not in Floyd's league.

 

difficult match for both men but I think Floyd would win, if they fought 3 times they may split a few ......boring fight? or chess-match

 

Again Wass

 

Again Kurrupt...

 

This, completely. Add to the fact that Whitaker is more intelligent at in-fighting.
Whitaker is better at using his footwork to bait his opponent into punches.
Whitaker does give up a 3 inch reach advantage and a 2 inch height advantage though, which should count for something.

I pick Whitaker in a 116-112 decision.

 

umm why are you saying anything about Roger, when Pea won that fight, and did so convincingly? There's no point in bringing that up. Now, your turn.

 

The same reason he lies about lots of things. Even if he did get the better of a sparring session, it's irrelevant because a world champion who isn't a complete psycho will always go light on a teenage kid.

 

He gave him hell did he How about you actually watch the fight and get back to us, Whitaker largely dominated Floyd's taller, rangier, harder hitting, equally quick uncle in his 11th fight.

 

I think Whitaker would win a close decision. Of course, this would be a very tactical fight. Probably both guys would have a pretty low connection percentage. I think Whitaker would use his underrated body attack to slow Floyd down a bit. His lefty stance would be an advantage too.

 

Yeah go watch the fight its there for us all to see...

 

Whitaker beat Roger Mayweather by decision (both men down in this fight), he also beat Jose Luis Ramirez W12 (he was robbed in their first fight), Greg Haugen W12 (he dropped Haugen), Freddie Pendleton W12, Azumah Nelson W12, Juan Nazario KO1, Anthony Jones W12, Jorge Paez W12, Harold Brazier W10, Rafael Pineda W12, Buddy McGirt W12 x2, Santos Cardona W12, Julio Cesar Vasquez W12 (for the WBA 154 Lb. world title), Gary Jacobs W12, Jake Rodriguez KO6, Wilfredo Rivera W12 x2, and Diosbelys Hurtado KO11 among others.

He drew with Julio Cesar Chavez but most who saw it will tell you that Whitaker won this fight. He lost a close fight to Oscar DeLaHoya that many feel Whitaker won despite being past prime.

Mayweather has some good wins as well but I think Whitaker would win a close decision.

 

I think people seem to forget that defensive boxing comes more naturally and fluidly to Whitaker. Whitaker can take any given situation and not feel compromised, the same cannot be said for Mayweather at all. I've always said this, Mayweather is well equipped but he has a tendency to focus his resources on overcontrol.
