LWT Tourney semi - Whitaker v B. Leonard

Later mate.

 

Sweet Pea. Post those Whitaker GIF's in here for Stonehands. They are brief footage, but he'll like the moves.

 

The clip at the top. His head movement when slipping ridicluous. He slips both ways and his head movement extremely tight and precise.

 

Round 7 on the Ramirez clip. :good

 

Thanks for posting the clips. Whitaker is, along with Pep, at the very top of the heap of defensive specialists. He had radar & flexibility second to none and he was good enough to slip shots -and combinations of shots- by inches in the pocket. Again, this from the inherently complex southpaw position.

 

Whitaker, via close UD.

 

I have never seen leonard fight before apart from in that video that sweet pea posted.

From what i saw Whittaker would win a UD over 12 or 15. He would make Leonard miss and then make him pay. He would be too busy and to slick.

 

I agree with you Bill. The Whitaker vs Ramirez rematch makes me think that version of pea is the most SKILLED fighter ever, very high H2H. Just my opinion.

 

Sweet Pea,I saw Whitaker fight much more than Leonard.I'm sticking with Leonard.I loved watching Whitaker,but I think Dela Hoya,for example,won their fight(and I think Whitaker got robbed against Chavez).

 

I voted for Leonard.
In the past I have stated that I conseder these two #1Whitaker and #2 Leonard P4P.
I think Leonard is a little bit bitter at lightweight. However this is an exlent match up both of them had outstanding boxing skills and both of them ould hit with power allthough I think Leonard had more power than Whitaker.
This should be the final in my opinion Duran, Gans, Ortiz, Chavez or any other lightweight. have nothing on Leonard and Whitaker.
