Pernell Whitaker Says Beating Pac Would Be Easy

Ah...zzzzzzz

I think nobody, at any point...beats PAcquiao "easy"


BAck in the days...there were so much better...they beat any actual fighter easy...:tired

 

Pac vs Sweat Pea would be easy work for Pernell. Judah would get beat though. Judah doesn't have the chin or heart to stand up to Manny. I will say that Manny likes to lunge in with his punches. Judahs fav punch is that left uppercut. That punch could do damage. Ultimately Judah would get KO before the championship rounds.

 

:dead

 

This.

 

Thanks for posting the video. He was so elusive, timing, accurate, and fast with foot and hands. I just remember that his antics were not appreciated and he did not get the respect like he should have back in the day. Camacho got a million to fight Baltizar at 140 and Pernell got much less and he was the undisputed LW champ. Just an example. Pernell was a special fighter back in the day.

 

:smooch

 

A kiss?? For me?

 

you mean rounds 1 and 3?

by the way cotto won round 1.

 

An older slower Julio Cesar Chavez was on even terms with Pernell until he eventually tired and slowed down. Pac is a more dynamic fighter than JCC and is faster, throws more, and never tires. Swarmers are an absolute nightmare matchup for any slick fighter and there is no finer example of a swarmer than Pacquiao.

 

JCC has a better chin, power and better defense than Pacquiao. And cuts the ring off better than anybody in history around that weight class.
**** Floyd Mayweather cuts the the ring off better than Pacquiao does and the Mosley fight is proof of that :nono

 

The only swarming aspect of Pacquiao is his volume. He doesn't cut the ring all that well, isn't a superb inside fighter like even a slowed up Chavez was.... Pacquiao's a middle range boxer-puncher. Always has been, always will be.

 

Its easy until they get hit...then its on to survival mode.

 

I don't think that in any way correct. I think he's evolved into one of the finest counter punchers around and can at times become the boxer-punch that takes apart fighters like Diaz and in parts Cotto. His best showings recently have been against Hatton and Margarito where he ripped them apart with his counter punching as they ran into the blades of the Filipino chopper. By no means is he a bad swarmer, in fact hes a good swarmer, but he struggles to use the fast feet of his to cut of the ring and at times seems content to follow a fighter around.

 

Pac VS Sweet Pea at lightweight wow that would be great I would favor P in the lower weight but Pac over 140

 

There before me, but this too.
