Prime Meldrick Taylor vs Prime Pernell Whitaker. Who wins?

Tough one...gotta go with Whitaker by ud...both got great skill but i think Whitaker is quickerr

 

Chilllllll With datt...it touch to choose...

 

Toss-up, but Taylor could out work Whitaker.

 

Taylor only had about 7-8 rounds of prime, then it was all over. Has to be Whitaker.

 

whitaker easy, taylor got hit way too much.

 

It's possible that Taylor could outwork Whitaker but it wasn't like Whitaker had a low workrate either. He had a good workrate as well.

I'd pick Whitaker's intelligence and more poilshed skills to be the key. They were both very fast. Taylor with the quicker hands, especially in his flurries, Whitaker with his reflexes and body movement to avoid shots. Taylor left himself open more often than Whitaker, and that would be a big difference.

Whitaker UD.

Taylor's best performance was his 12 round shellacking of McGirt.

 

nah, just making a reference to the fight he is famous for which he lost fair and square.

 

Pea thought highly of Meldrick, but according to him, Meldrick could never get anything going when the two sparred. As Pea put it, Meldrick's tricks "just didn't work" on him. Taylor had the faster hands, no doubt. That's about where his advantages end here, though.

 

Thats understandable sweat pea. I mean Whitaker is freaking left handed. Too southpaw is too much sometimes.

 

Finally a Old Class Question
