    I have my top 13 locked down - I think I'd have Pea between 15-20. Incredible fighter, poetry in motion.

    Maybe on a boxing historians list that ranks Benny Leonard, Joe Gans, Harry Greb & co... but from guys I`ve seen good-decent footage of he makes my list, he`s terribly underrated on here.

    A lot of people forget that more often than not that Chavez was ranked p4p1 & Pea p4p2 when (with hindsight) both were at their peaks at 135.... Chavez was a brilliant fighter & extremely good technically.

    I've never made an ATG list, but I'd rank him in the top 10.

    Whitaker would beat floyd, better jab, better combination puncher, at least as fast, a little better foot movement, just as hard to hit, better inside fighter & at least as adaptable.

    Go watch Whitaker fight before talkin thru your ass.

    Watched, PBF wins. Pernell got tooled by Oscar, it was an obvious beatdown.

    Your obviously trolling... but on the off chance your an amateur boxing fan, let me educate you on some things....

    1. Whitaker was well past his best vs DLH.

    2. The fight was razor close & could have went either way, a lot of people had Pea the winner there.

    3. The version that Pea fought was prime Oscar, a far, far better version than the one floyd fought.

    4. Glad to help ;)

    Top 20 given how many great fighters there were, but I will say whitaker ranks the highest since leonard and duran above pac, jones jr, bhop, floyd, hagler, hearns imo.
    I love watching him and along with prime tyson he would be my pick as a guy I never want to fight since it would be so incredibly frustrating.
