Prenell Whitaker-Meldrick Taylor if they fought.

he took them both on actually ... my fault

 

the way he bent everything from his head to his entire upperbody was based on his opponents throwing punches and him reacting to them.....he didnt just do them to look cool its reflexes and reaction times.

 

It tells us Tyson was a very very lucky man not to have to take on Super Greg Page in a real tiff

:smoke

 

Taylor's a bit too basic and easy to hit to win this.

Not sure if he would have beaten a 100 percent McGirt to be honest.

 

I don't know what you do for a living John, but if you're thinking about going into comedy, then better hold on to that day job for a while.:good

 

Super Greg busted Tyson up as well...:yep

 

Pernell most probably loses a controversial decision to just about every offensively elite fighter in history.

The man just would'nt dare to try to consistently be effective offensively to win round after round.

Each fighter looks subpar offensively vs Pernell, but at the end of the day the judges are'nt impressed to give rounds to a fighter who's goal is to win a fight strictly fighting defensively.


My card would probably read 8-4 for Meldrick Taylor, while those who's goal as boxing observers is to be called a purist, most likely has it 8-4 Pernell Whitaker.

Would have been mighty interesting to have seen Whitaker fight an elite type fighter who's winning assets were speed and quickness.
The two fights that could have come about for Whitaker were Taylor and Camacho.......but for whatever reasons, and most probably not Whitaker's fault, those fights never came about.

 

Bad attempt at a joke..:nut

But Meldrick did have amazing speed...But Pernell probably wasnt horribley too far behind him.

 

Whitaker, by tight UD. Taylor would his moments in a very close'un. Good matchup. :good

 

Every fighter reacts to punches. The slower fighters have to try and predict their opponenets movements. Sure Whitaker had better reflexes than others BUT his defensive methods were solid skill - he could move his feet, head or arms to evade and block shots.

Basically if you got Peas defence and put it on another fighter, it is still a very good defence.

Sure Pea showboated and sometimes exaggerated his moves but like Mayweather he simply had a good defence, it wasn't based on reflexes.

 

Divac. I just love your posts. Comical reading at its very best. I don't take you serious at all, and have a chuckle at your posts. Never be a judge, because if a slick defensive boxer is in with a come forward aggressor, you'd be as well handing in your scorecard before the fight even started.

 

Maybe. But here's a couple that aren't on that list: Azumah Nelson and Julio Cesar Chavez :good

 

Just imagine what he would have done to Holmes

 

Well my real name is Rodney Rude tho you might not have heard of me over there
