Out of Pea, Jones, SRL, PBF, and SRR- Which Fighter Do You Prefer and Why?

Mayweather also did things better than Whitaker and was probably a more complete fighter.

We don't know the passion or heart that Whitaker had or Mayweather has. We can't know what they feel.

They both have performances that are very dominant. I don't have the exact number, but both were dominant in some performances and struggled in others.

 

A question would be who has the best highlight clips. Id say ROY by far but Floyd can hang with the likes of Ray and Pea easily. I mean that 4 right hand combo by Floyd against Ndou was the sickest **** I have ever seen. I dont think NOBODY has ever did that in boxing in combination in a blink of an eye. At first I thought it was three right hands but he hit him again when he was down. All landed clean and flush.

3 right hands. Roy has quite a few sequences where he throws 4 or 5 left hooks in rapid succession. The Floyd rights were not exactly "in the blink of an eye" they were all loaded up shots on a rocked fighter. Still excellent.

 

Yo...Roger mother****ing mayweather should do comedy.

 

1. Roy Jones Jr- Made people go wow. How can a man do that unreal, he was the man :yep. The man who got me to love boxing.





2. Pernell Whitaker, could stand infort of another world class boxer and make him miss and hit him with multiple combiations al in the space of a small second.

3. Sugar Ray Leonard Fast hands and heart. The man looked like he would walk through walls to win

4. Sugar Ray Robinson- The GOAT, timing and precision. An unreal fighter could do it all.

5. Floyd Mayweather Jr, talent, hardwork and dedication to the sport. He exeplifeise what an athlete should be. A true profesional.

I have had a few so i apoligise if my spelling is a bit off

 

Floyd triples the left hook same as Roy..not as fast though of course. But similiar.

 

What did Mayweather do better? Whitaker had a better jab and better reflexes. I guess you could say Floyd was better at blocking, seeing as they use different defensive styles. Whitaker also had a better workrate. How was Floyd more complete? Pernell was fantastic against boxers and especially pressure fighters. Floyd has had much more trouble with the pressure fighter type than Floyd. Floyd struggled badly with Castillo, Pea dominated Chavez.

Based on how they dealt with things in the ring, I can easily say that Pea showed more heart and fighters spirit than Floyd. He actually got into it with guys like DLH, Vasquez, Chavez, McGirt, and FOUGHT the whole fight with Tito when past his prime(even after 7 rounds).

 

My answer would be attack. In defence, I rank Whitaker higher (actually, he's the #1 of all time, higher than Pep); but in attack and power, I rank Mayweather higher.

 

Pead did not ****ing dominate Chavez..yeah he won and got robbed but he did not dominate. Pea RAN during that fight. Stop the ****ing madness.

 

Look at the guys avatar..he is ****ing obserd. Floyds offense is defenitly more diverse. Peas was slick southpaw with the best movement boxing has ever seen and a great jab. Everything else was just above average.

 

I actually wrote positive things about early Floyd in my first post if you were reading carefully. Calm down.

Floyd wasn't more complete than Whitaker.. that's for sure, but I'm not going to argue about it here, because this thread is not about that. This thread is about who you like watching more and I was just surprised that so many of you prefer Floyd over Whitaker. The poster who said it's because some people didn't grow up watching Pernell is probably right. I didn't grow up watching him either, but I enjoy watching old Whitaker fights more than live Mayweather fights. Not only because of his skills, but because Whitaker fought with a lot more passion and dominated opponents in much higher level fights.

One thing to note is that Whitaker's performance against DLH was a lot more entertaining than Floyd's performance against him.. and Pernell was way past-it at that point.

 

Pea ran? I take it you haven't seen the fight if you honestly think that. He fought off the backfoot, but in range early in the fight, and then started to fight in range, and eventually started to hurt Chavez and back him up, dominating the mid to late rounds. He didn't dominate in a sense of completely outclassing him, but in terms of rounds won, he dominated, which is magnified by the fact that it was scored a draw. I had it 9 rounds to 3, I've seen others have it 10 rounds to 2, no better than 8 rounds to 4 from anyone who had a clue what they were talking about.

 

You're being foolish now. One key part of Pea's game that he had a clear advantage over Floyd in was in-fighting. I'm not talking about in-fighting against the likes of N'Dou, but against the likes of Chavez, McGirt, Tito(when shot, watch the fight, he is winning the in battle for the first 7 rounds). He beat Chavez on the inside, which is remarkable.

Pea lacked great power, but his craftiness and versatility inside was fantastic, just like the rest of his game. He could fight anybody anywhere, he just excelled in the boxing aspect. What about Floyd's attack was more diverse? His lack of offense against someone like Castillo, and his lack of workrate against clearly outclassed fighters like Hatton, is alarming. These are fighters Pea would've dominated from start to finish, not taken time to adapt to.

And for future reference, the word is spelled "absurd". But I'm off for the night, heading out, we'll continue this later.

 

Early in his career at 130 he was great to watch, and against B and C level guys like Gatti, N'Dou, etc at 135 and 140 he was exciting, but against top opposition and at higher weights, he has not been exciting at all, especially recently. Corrales was the only one.

But I'm rambling on still, I am off this time.
