When this exact same question was asked in the Classic sometime last year, this was my exact same response. We've bonded now, brnx. You're now part of my gang.
Lol its a tough one. I rate duran greater easily. Both were so good at what they did. As great as pea was I still think what if when I think of him, i dont think what if with duran. I mean that in the way its a mind **** to think pernell was so drug addicted an sick for a long time. Cant even imagine what could have been for him if he was healthier. He was so great an to think he was so ****ed up just shatters my mind
This is yet another question you can only pretend to answer objectively. That goes for when Mayweather is in the equation too. Or any number of supremely skilled and versatile boxers. Whether it be Leonard, Robinson or what have you.
Whitaker is the more skilled defensive fighter, but overall skill? Roberto Duran Duran wins head to head also.
Mr. No Mas could keep a cool head for 47 minutes and not No Mas himself against possibly the greatest troll to ever step foot in the ring?
No he doesn't Whitaker style is a stylistic nightmare for Duran. If he thought SRL frustrated him Pea Whitaker would have made him quit the sport.:deal
Whitaker still with a clear lead despite our knowledgeable posters indecisively torn about choosing between the two men like a silly girl. Any more cases for Duran here!?
