Mayweather jr. vs Whitaker

ripcity i have him at no.4

 

Whitaker has a better jab than Mayweather.

 

Are you out of your mind?

 

I think that's true, although Whitaker was faster than he seemed to be, and could almost turn it up a gear in speed when he had to - it was almost like he was operating at a restricted level to emphasise technique/timing and to avoid jumping into counters. But yes, Mayweather has the faster hands, I'd say.

I don't see it making a difference though.

 

Thats rediculous,i like Mayweather at all their weights,he was faster hit harder especially at 130-135,sweet pea gets vastly overrated on this forum.

 

Mayweathers lead right would be a huge factor in this fight.

 

Like Chavez's was?

 

How many times does this thread have to come up?

Pea had the more insistent jab, was a better all-round fighter IMO, and has the chin/defensive sharpness not to allow Floyds sharp accurate shots to put him off his gameplan.

Sweet Pea by a fairly wide decision, Floyd always being competitive but Pea just doing more.

I'd say it gets closer as they go up in weight though. At 135, it's all Pernell.

 

What, when Pea has the better jab?

 

:shock::-(

 

+Mayweather has problems with southpaws and Whitaker was one of the best.

 

So number two all time of all fighters you mean?

 

Yes, I agree with everything in that post.
