    Thank you finally a legit arguement ... the "then some" solidified your arguement.

    I countered by saying Floyd will adjust by bouncing and countering "Pea" can't force him to fight on the inside.

    He did it against Castillo the second fight what makes you think he won't do it against "Pea"

    Pernell was smooth but Floyd is good punching without having his feet planted and good at switching angles.

    I expect to see a good counter to that instead of that bull**** you've been trying to feed me.

    First of all, Castillo is no Pernell Whitaker...

    Floyd could try dancing around and potshotting Pernell from the outside, but he'd be at a disadvantage there. Pernell would find success with his right jab and workrate; thus negating Floyd's potshotting.

    We've been saying the whole time that Pea has the advantage on the outside, so what is your point here?

    Do what? Fight on the outside? If Floyd was actually forced to pot-shot and move for fear of Pea's power than that would say a lot more about Floyd's manhood than anything. Floyd would likely be forced to fight off the backfoot for a good portion of the fight, but you assuming he'd literally try to pot-shot and run like he did with a pressure fighter like Castillo is terribly off base.

    What are you even trying to say here? Switching angles? You're just using boxing lingo to try and pose an argument, even though you make no real points.

    I've said the same thing since the argument began, you're the one who's been changing it up with irrelevant points. You're the one who said something as ridiculous as "Floyd never once fought in the pocket against N'Dou". You're the one who's so far off base he's in the stands here, not me.

    fitzgeraldz good thread here man but I think your trying to keep it going longer then it needs to go by making irrelevant arguments or just recycling old ones.

    At the same time Floyd can just throw right hands which he has mastered over the years. In addition to the Floyd also has an underrated jab and with his length - he can come over the top of sweet pea's jab.

    You think Floyd's straight right, that he throws every so often, matches up with Whitaker's right jab, which he pumps out at a steady pace?

    I have been for the most part ignoring most things you say. but you are saying a lot of stupid ****. Pea's response to your "changing angles bit" or whatever you said was exactly how I feel about half the things you say. It seems like you are trying to force an arguement where there is none. Just thought you should know.

    Oh, and i would have just stopped posting in this thread along time ago but you compared me to George Lopez. You ass. So sorry if I felt like I had to respond once or twice.

    Yeah
    He hit N'dou with 3 straight to end his night, he threw a weird 1/2 uppercut 1/2 hook type to make Chavez' corner stop the fight. He hit Ricky Hatton with it on a regular basis. He threw all right hands in the 5th round against DLH and made his knees buckle.
    He can also throw it from the center, on the move, overhand, straight, counter, lead.

    Oh and you forgot about his leaping left hook.

    Now I never mentioned PBF winning but I disagreed when you made it seem like it would be an easy UD for Whitaker.

    You seemed to be taking this thread a bit too serious. Why are you acting like I personally attacked you?

    I was just trying to get a more detailed response out of you - saying that Pernell would just through his jab all night and do this and do that while not mentioning anything that PBF would do in response is weird to me. You might as well have said that PBF would get knocked out.
    Pernell did lose before (despite any controversy) and the fact is that Floyd is still undefeated and on the top of his game.

    Then when I mention some other demension that Floyd brings to the table you respond as if i'm an idiot or something.

    Chill

    Well I guess thats it for a legit debate w/ you...

    Peace

    Dream match up two of my favourite fighters and I don' think I can think of a harder fight to call to even predict what would happen is extremely difficult as both have high levles of ring intelligence vast skills and are masters of adapting to the situation they find themselves in. A key factor will be who mantains their discipline the longest and the way in which Whitaker establishes his jab. I can't see Mayweather pot shotting for much longer than 6 rounds as Whitaker will take away the left hook or right hand and Mayweathers arsenal will be lessened. What if one gambles and decides to throw cokmbos with the risk of being countered man there is just countless possibilities but for a purist this would possibly be the greatest match up ever as it will be between 2 of the most intelligent fighters to hav lived.

    Good point...

    I was trying to come up with different scenarios but instead of people replying they argued.

    In your eyes... the debate has been going on for hours and different people are giving their opinions.

    Thats the thing both guys can adjust and both guys are smart... its tough to say that one has the upperhand on another just based on personal bias.
    I can't argue with your opinion - I want to understand more.
    I gave you my view, you came back with yours, then when I came with a different attack or scenario, you got mad - called me names - and questioned my knowledge of boxing, as if your opinion is more supreme than anyone elses.

    You say that i'm dragging it on, but yet you still respond ??

    We just talking boxing, I don't know you, you don't know me, just take the opinions for what they are and explain yourself or just quit the thread all together.
