    although whitaker is the far better boxer, this would be a bad match-up for him

    Wright UD. Too much for Whitaker at 154.

    Winky, UD.

    Walks him down with the high guard and outworks him. If Winks can walk Taylor down, he would have no respect for Pea's power, or lack of at 154.

    There might be some merit in this but, Vasquez and Whittaker fight differently. It's like saying Wright dominated Trinidad whilst Whittaker lost. Vasquez and Vargas were much bigger fighters who were able to use their size and muscles. I don't think Whittaker has that advantage here. I can see Whittaker hitting arms a lot and Wright hitting air a lot. A bit hard to tell what the outcome would be; both had excellent defense. Wright's defense is effective against speed as we saw in the Mosley fight. I guess in my opinion if Wright were able to bully Whittaker into a fight then he wins otherwise, i'm split.

    Pea by decision, i do think it would b a damn good fight. B/c both are defensive geniuses. Tough fight for both rather. But Sweet Pea has the advantage in hand speed, foot speed. And overall skill IMO. I think he would b able to counter winky effectively to a UD. But it would b a close fight and a good one at that.
    I pick Sweet Pea UD.

    But Pea was at his best when the opposing fighters were trying to apply pressure.

    I see Pernell fighting off his jab (which was MUCH better than Winky's....which is saying alot, considering Winky has a hell of a jab), making Wright play the aggressor, countering him all night and making him miss much more than he is used to.

    Whitaker UD.

    Pea was a better p4p fighter, but Winky at 154 is just too big for Pernell.

    Wright is underrated with many people, I think in time people will give him credit with how great a fighter he really was.
