    we know both of these fighters never started their career at 147, but if they did who would've won?

    in what round?

    how?

    Close decision.

    I think Armstrong wears Pea down in the end for a clear UD. The fact that Pea is carrying extra weight doesn't help in the area of sharpness.

    Whitaker on points. Makes Armstrong miss and counters.

    Totally agree styles make fights and Whitaker style is all wrong for Armstrong, Whitaker wins descively.

    The jab controls the fight for Whitaker, Armstrongs attacks are nullified by Whitaker's shot slipping and movement and he gets countered for his trouble. Even on the inside Whitaker is excellent. Then there's the fact Whitaker is the bigger man

    I could even see Whitaker shutting Armstrong out
