Whitaker on PBF: 'Maybe I'd let him carry my bags to the dressing room'

Truer words never spoken

 

uncle rog is not similar to Floyd completely diferent styles and he didnt won four rounds.

 

Rogaa was damn lucky to finish the fight, I can remember he was almost getting KTFO by the "light hitter" Sweet Pea. And the knock down you refer wasn't a legit knock down, it was more a slip or something (can't recall what though I need to rewatch it).

In the case of Floyd, not so long ago, he had trouble against the faded Oscar De La Hoya and won a controversial decision when a faded Pea gave hell to a prime Oscar and lost a controversial decision.

So ? Have you, guys, any counter argument or something plausible ?

 

I am sorry, but lately I grew up a certain anger toward Mayweather(s)
:-(

 

Seems a lot of folks here pick Floyd over Pernell.But I have to wonder if they are really as familiar with Whittaker as they are with Floyd.To me , its more of a toss up, pick em fight.Pernells mastery over Chavez, Ramirez, and Vasquez is slightly more impressive than Floyds wins over Corrales, Castillio and DLH.But you never know how guys would fare against one another until they square off.I'm siding with Whittaker, who had more skills than Mayweather , who depends more on superior reflexes, and natural hand and foot speed.Pernell had a rare ability to shut the other guy down, and this would allow him to nip Floyd down the stretch.

 

I wish Pernell would take a page out of Larry Holmes book and tell the world PBF can't carry his jock strap

 

Roger Mayweather was a class or two below his nephew. And he won 4 rounds on 2 judges scorecards (on my scorecard he lost only by 1 or 2 points). He had Whitaker in real trouble in the 1st round, more real than the flash KD Judah scored over Floyd.
As for DLH, what weight division was it for Floyd and how many fights did he have there? And how many did Pernell have?

 

You aren't quite happy with Whitaker's achievement, are you ? :yikes

ps: Even Tito couldn't KO/TKO a shot Whitaker....

 

Before Mayweather fought Oscar I had my doubts that Sweet Pea was the better fighter, but I thought the exact same thing you brought up after the fight.

If a prime Oscar couldn't hurt an old Whitaker, and a prime Mayweather could only just beat an old Oscar.... Makes me think that Sweet Pea was the better fighter.

Then again, you have to add in the weight factor for Mayweather which plays a big part, as he was in with a naturally bigger man.

 

He is just hating. He probably feels threatened. It happens.

 

The weight is definitely an issue for a fighter like Mayweather, he was smaller than Oscar.

Sweet Pea fought a true 154er in Vasquez and put a boxing clinic like he used to back in those days.
Mayweather fought pretty hard opposition in Judah (former lightweight) and Oscar (former super featherweight)... in fact, they aren't even in their best weight classes either.

 

:nut you have never seen Floyd at 130 have you?

 

Whitaker is a better boxer & imo would beat floyd but I think floyd is a little too good to carry anyones bags... funny **** tho.

 

Doubt it. Mayweather will become the stalker just like he did against Mitchell and Judah. He'd have to be, because Sweet Pea would be fighter defensively.

Mayweather's speed, intelligent offense and defense would win the fight for him. Mayweather is one of the most accurate punches I've ever seen, he'll definitely hit Sweet Pea and force him to fight more defensively... thus not getting any of his own shots off.

But, I don't see PBF KOing Sweet Pea. No way.

 

Sweet pea would make some sweet pea soup with Pretty boys skills.
