Sugar Ray Leonard vs Pernell Sweet Pea Whittaker, 15 rounds, Peak for Peak, 147 lbs.

If you don't think Pea even came close, it's your own scoring ability you should be questioning. He out-landed, out-worked and dropped Oscar, not bad for someone who displayed 'no offense'.

 

I think Leonard close decision. It would be a battle for Ray and a difficult fight.

 

He really didn't

 

To be fair the “knockdown” was iffy but it was called so it had to be a 10-8 round. A very close fight I’ve always thought and quite incongruous that it was scored as wide as it was. That’s ****ing boxing though.

 

Pea was too defensive, Oscar outworked him the whole fight

 

He wasn't hurt or anything, but a punch landed. It was definitely the correct ruling IMO.

 

"Whitaker landed 232 of 582 punches to 191 of 556 for De La Hoya."

 

Oscar controlled more rounds. Besides the KD, Pea looked like a fish out of water, which he was.
