Its a different circumstance. If your talking about the best Tsyzu at 140 against Chavez at 140 and you have two guys coming forward at each other who is going to have the advantage?? Styles make fights not to mention you have one guy who was fighting out of his best weight class. If you want to use the Tsyzu of his 10 or 15th professional fight thats a different animal. How many fighters were brought along as quickly as Tsyzu? He moved up quickly but he also developed into a better professional fighter through experience wouldnt you say?
Whitaker would have no problem beating Tzsyu on points, he's too savvy, he's got way too much skill to be caught by Tzsyu's right hand, Sweet-Pea would put on a clinic .. The real question is how would Pernell get on against, guys like Aaron Pryor, Don Curry, Roberto Duran and Tommy Hearns .. Tzsyu was subtle great boxer with a great right hand but Vince Phillips took the right hand and did some damage .. For me Pryor, Curry, Hearns and Duran are more likely to pose questions to Whitaker than Tzsyu ..
No he wouldnt, Tszyu was a very good fighter but Whitaker was a superior boxer & would win a clear UD without contraversy. Next.
