Pernell Whitaker vs Floyd mayweather jr.

Please do a search, this has been discussed not too long ago... In a couple of minutes this thread will be full of fans claiming Pernell is a >100 punches per round "offensive monster" :roll:

 

Well Pernell is, indeed, a >100 punches per round "offensive monster" at lightweight.

 

Whitaker UD

 

mayweather decision

 

One thing to say about you.........IDIOT.

 

Regarding your opinion that Whitaker had a very close fight with De La Hoya, and your correct, but he was past his prime when they fought in 1997. He was still a damn good fighter during the mid 90's, but he clearly never had the same handspeed and refelxes as he did as a lightweight, or even a light-welterweight 5 years before the De La Hoya fight.

A 33 year old Whitaker showed better defense against a 24 year old De La Hoya than a 30 year old Mayweather did against a 34 year old De La Hoya.

 

Are you an idiot. Look up the punch stats. Pernell regularly threw 100+ a round, 1000+ a fight. Its a stat you can look up?

Are you serious?

 

Oh Blocky Blocky Blocky...why do I always have to set you straight.

Whitaker was one of the fastest fighters in history....faster than Floyd. Yet another time you prove that you NEVER saw a prime Whitaker.

Now as for the DLH fight, most consider (myself included) that Sweet Pea won a close, but CLEAR UD. He was the busier fighter, he was the better defender, he landed the cleaner punches (even dropped Oscar) and kept the fight at the pace he wanted.

But, through all of that you must remember....THAT WAS NOT A PRIME SWEET PEA!!!!

The ONLY advantage Floyd (who is one of my favorite fighters....so this is NOT a biased opinion) would have is power. Thats it.

He wasnt the smarter fighter.
He wasnt the faster fighter.
He wasnt the better defender (Pea is generally considered the best EVER, Floyd isnt even the best of this generation).
He wasnt more accurate.
He DEFINATELY didnt have a better workrate.
He doesnt have the better PROVEN chin.
He has more experience.
He has more championship experience.

Its just a mismatch. Tho, with Floyd's unbelievable talent, it would still be a close fight. BUT, Sweet Pea takes it UD.

 

Pea. but would be one of the most interesting fights because so would be possible from both fighters.

 

Whitaker by brutal KO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I'm stretching it a bit. Whitaker UD

 

This is by far the most likely out come.

Great analysis.
