Pretty Boy Floyd v Sweet Pea Whitaker

atschOh my.....

:huh:rofl:rofl:rofl:---(You CANNOT be serious.

 

This is a much closer fight than people think it is. People here are acting like Pea would school PBF and give him a boxing lesson which couldn't further from the truth. While Pea's southpaw stance, defense and jab would give PBF fits you act as if Pea wouldn't be bothered by PBF's speed, accuracy and defense. PBF is a smart fighter would find a way to win rounds. While I give the slight edge in this matchup to Pea it is by no means a blowout.

 

Dude, stop already, you're giving me a headache with your nonsense.

 

So, in other words, you didn't read my first post in this thread.

 

Watch it again, the entire fight was fought in the inside. Floyd basically fought in the pocket and beat N'Dou up on the inside or in close the whole time.

 

I am saying the styles matchup clearly favors Pernell, because, once again, he can do everything Floyd can do, and then some. That "then some" involves using tools that would give Floyd major stylistic problems, such as using a strong southpaw jab and throwing at a higher workrate, which would allow him to land more punches, especially with the jab. Also, the fact that it often takes Floyd a good deal of time to adapt to his opponents(even FAR lesser ones than Whitaker) shows that he would definitely have to adapt to Whitaker's style, losing early rounds in the process. However, even when he does start to adapt, I can't see him gaining any kind of advantage because he simply holds no advantages of his own to imply later. Floyd would win maybe 4 rounds.

 

Then either haven't seen the fight, or your memory is ****. A LOT of the fight was fought right in the pocket, which is why it was considered such an impressive performance by Floyd, because he beat up a big puncher(though he was C level) in close.

How was Floyd not fighting in the pocket?
