    tough choices.

    Never was a fan of his but have to choose De La Hoya.

    Best right jab in the history of the sport IMO.

    As far as who made the most improvement from one style to another, Barrera.

    AS far as just pure boxing ability, I'd go with Whitaker

    I watched that fight a few months ago. :good It was a beautiful fight from Pernell. I liked the counter he used that caused the knocked and hope Floyd uses something similar to it against Pacquiao

    Yep.
    I loved his performance against Nelson as well......

    And we know that Pernell deserved the win against Chavez........that´s huge to prove how good was his defense, because we all know how a offensive force like JCC can test the defensive skills of anyone.....

    definitely. I loved both fights, the Nelson fight is my favorite one of his next to Ramirez II. Nelson knew he needed a KO to win and just came forward and tried his hardest to get to Pernell.
    Pernell didn't have enough power to really keep him off and had to just keep moving and throwing and boxing and made him work the whole fight. It was a great display
