    Top 20. What a bad ass. Hardly lost rounds even when fighting far bigger guys.

    21 on my list.

    I think Mayweather will overtake him by the end of his career though.

    Mayweather definitely IS the better fighter but Whitaker has the better resume with greater career defining wins.

    "Greatest" lists suck yeast infected snatch. There aren't five fighters better.

    #20 is generous, because the OP is asking about "P4P" ratings. - That specifically implies power.

    I'd put Whitaker around #10 for skills & boxing IQ, maybe even higher, but P4P he's quite a ways down the list.

    Pernell "The second coming" whitaker. He was magical in that ring. Unbelievable ability. If he had power he would have made a run at the greatest. Personally, my favorite boxer.

    I love Pernell but very let down by the fact that he didn't implement certain styles into his fighting tactics/
