    If they fought what would have happened? Taylor with his amazing hand speed vs Whitaker with his most impresive deffvencive skills.

    Who in the hell is PREnell Whitaker?

    Did he come before Pernell Whitaker, hence the prefix " Pre " ?

    I think Whitaker is on record as saying he could not beat Meldrick....

    Taylor on points all the way though to ChavezI, then Pernell on points post 17/3/1990.

    Taylor with the faster hands maybe, but second to Whitaker in every other department, most of all defense. Taylor makes Whitaker use all of his wily skills due to the speed and volume of his offense, but Pernell would make himpay dearly with counter, and Taylor was not as rugged as Chavez, for instance when it comes to taking it. A strange thing, but Pernels shots would be the heavier, and at the end Taylor would look like he took too many shots.

    Source?

    I'll give you a source (in an online chat with Whitaker) which suggests the opposite:

    One more question: Did you ever spar with Meldrick Taylor and Mark Breland? If you did, who got the best of those sessions?

    A lot of people will disagree, but prime for prime, I say Taylor. His speed and workrate were just phenomenal, and I think he would win a close decision in a very competitive fight.

    What do people picking Taylor think about his performance against Howard Davis?

    Yes, and that what boxing is about at that level, Whitaker was very much third of three as far as that goes. Indeed Biggs and Holyfield were more important to Duva (Biggs obviously pre 1988.)

    Pernell would win by UD, but Meldrick would make him work for it.
