Pretty Boy Floyd v Sweet Pea Whitaker

Nobody said that, said that if he tried to use that particular punch that you pointed out, that he would be open to be countered often, and would be. You are acting as if Floyd has all the answers to everything that anyone would have ever given to him, which is not the case. He is not a boxing God, and when faced with the competition he has picked out for himself(for the most part recently), he is going to look good. He struggles badly(arguably loses)with a guy two levels below Chavez in Castillo, and Whitaker schools Chavez, and you assume Floyd would have all the answers for Whitaker, or is on that level, or has proven it?

Pea has everything Floyd has, and more, that is the point. You keep bringning up these irrelevant "what ifs" when the matchup has been explained already several times over.

Pernell has the edges in workrate, jab, and the southpaw stance would give Floyd fits. Floyd has trouble adapting to skilled boxers, and even if he were to find the groove to make it close at a certain point, Pernell already has 4 or 5 early rounds in the bank, and Floyd isn't outdoing him at any stage, at best he'd even it up toward the end, still losing about 7 or 8 rounds in the fight overall. That's "if" Floyd would even adapt to a fighter like Pernell, which is hard to see as it is, considering he holds no advantages.

 

Pernell would get the better of Floyd on the outside. His right jab and workrate would be the key. No way Floyd picks off Pernell.

 

This is ridiculous analysis, we have already discussed this. Floyd has trouble with southpaws, trouble with the jab, and would certainly have trouble with a guy just as accurate, quick, and slick as himself. Pernell's superior workrate would give him the clear edge here. You're not going to pot-shot someone who has all of your skills, with some advantages, the main advantage being the jab on the outside. And you're sure as hell not going to pick off and pot-shot someone as defensively skilled as Whitaker.

 

I can't believe some of you dumbasses actually think Floyd would even make this a close fight. Do you guys realise what a style advantage he has on Joy Boy? And that he's actually quite a bit more skilled at the art of boxing?

 

I don't need to name five I just need to name one. Jose Luis Castillo!

 

N'Dou, Corley, Castillo I, Augustus, and against guys like Oscar, Judah, Gatti, etc at times. He fights on the inside, out of the Philly Shell, in pretty much every one of his fights at certain points.

 

Drown yourself in a solo cup please.

 

He didn't fight on the inside against N'Dou? You have officially lost all credibility on this subject. He didn't fight on the outside would be a better statement.

The entire second half of the fight with Castillo was pretty much fought on the inside. Are you trying to make an ass out of yourself or what? Have you just not seen the fights? Are you just lying out your ass?

He did nothing BUT fight on the inside with N'Dou.
