Would it be the worst boxing fight anyone would ever see? -They are just running the opposite of each other to defend and no one throws anything? Just posing and running and moving? or -would it be an action fight, real boxing, punching. Discuss :huh
lol it would be the most boring fight of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! both guys circling each other waiting to counter all night.
Whitaker was as happy to initiate the action as he was to look for counterpunching opportunities. This narrative of him being this boring, safety-first slickster isn't accurate. He was far more entertaining to watch than Mayweather's been in the last decade or so.
You beat me to it. Sweet Pea did not fight his whole career off the back foot. It's a narrative that has gained more steam since people started comparing Floyd to him.
Would be one of the most cerebral matches of all time. Orthodox vs southpaw, both are defensive geniuses and both are brilliant counter punchers. Mayweather wins on points. Has more offensive weapons along with the height and reach advantage. Pernell is the same size as Pacquiao, he would have just as much trouble getting close enough to land anything on Floyd.
nice ****ysis, floyd has that crazy reach, i still think it would be a snoozer unless we were talking floyd at 135 then it might be very interesting.
I think sweet pea would have beat him. Both great fighters but sweet pea never got the aclaim is talent deserved
