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

Another Whitaker-Mayweather thread

Some people, like shelterr, seem to know boxing as much as my red fish knows quantum physics. Before saying any stupidity, rewatch the tapes and support your ****in argument.

Thank you,

it would be a defensive masterpiece...floyd is just a bit better of a total package offensively

 

why are people always underrating uncle roger as a fighter? he had a deadly right hand that would give anyone fits and change the fight with one punch. yes he had a war with sweet pea and he would of given a war to floyd also. sweet pea in his prime as defensive as he was was dropped and always bounced back and won. he easily equalled floyd in speed and reflexes and when the pea wanted to pop he could pop when he wanted as noticed in the mayweather and hurtado fights. he was also a southpaw so i also can easily see him dropping floyd the same way he dropped oscar and similiar to how zab dropped floyd. floyd's great for his size, but enough with the hype the world, except floyd's fanboys knew he needed to fight pw, margo, or cotto to be an atg. pea fought and beat a prime chavez, a dominant atg and p4p#1 of his time. floyd won't even fight top 5 p4p margo. sweet pea > floyd. end of story.

 

PBF has dodged the best. Sweet Pea fought the best.

PBF is an accurate puncher but Sweet Pea is a defensive mastermind.

Sweet Pea is very durable, PBF's chin is fairly untested due to his defensive skills and opponent selection.

I doubt there would be a KO, but if it happens it would be Sweet PEA KOing PBF.

Consider the JCC vs Sweet Pea fight, pure unadulterated highway robbery.

IMO/
It would be close, but I suspect we would all see how great Sweet Pea really was when he dismantles PBF over 12 rounds. The decision may not go his way, given boxing politics, but the afficianados would know that Sweet Pea had PBF's measure.

 

Ive always backed Whitaker to beat Mayweather but the more I think about it, this would be a very close fight, could go either way.

Both have always found a way & can adapt brilliantly to pull away from very good fighters.

Mayweather has more speed & power... Pea throws his combinations more frequently to greater affect, both have great feet & stamina & we need not talk about defence, both were masters.

This would be one for the purests but one I would pay A LOT to see.... this would be the modern day SRL/Benitez except more exciting.


I know Im likely to be in the minority here but Id like to see the 147 lb versions go at it just as much as the 135 lb versions... as long as its the Pea of the Chavez or Mcgirt rematch vs the Floyd of the Judah or Hatton fights.

This would be a toss up between 2 of the best pure boxers in history IMO.


Botswana :smoke

 

He has daddy issues. But when he doesn't have the facade up he seems like a good guy.

 

Sure, if you have an imagination, and an active one at that.

 

Whitaker knocks out Floyd...? Can disregard the rest of your post, thanks.

 

Solid post.

 

i'm sorry but no way mayweather beats sweet pea. think about sweet pea's jab, his workrate, and his defense. Sweet Pea is the perfect boxer puncher to **** over mayweather....southpaw style. Whitaker, ud.

 

lol are you gonna cry?

 

PBF actually had an offence.

 

No,just if you score the fight close to Oscar

 

No, if you have an imagination and count missed punches as scoring blows.
