Who is better defencively Whittiker or Mayweather? Why?

[AlexKid]

Whittiker certainly seems more amazing. Is he though?

Mayweather has better balance and his defense held up at an advanced age even far past his prime. He had the slight edge.

Disagree strongly, Mayweather was more textbook and that gets him undeserved credit because it goes with what the consensus crowd like.


If Whittiker fcuked your girlfriend, she wouldnt go back to you

If Mayweather fcuked your gf, she wouldnt tell you but she would come back to you

I wouldn't call that slight....

[IronDanHamza]

It's definitely arguable but for me it's Floyd.

Floyd got hit a lot less than Whitaker, but then Whitaker threw way more punches.

You can't go wrong with either pick to be honest.

Alright I will back it up:Floyd is quite clearly better. Think of this, in two full decades and 50 fights nobody has ever decked him. You would think it would still happen accidentally. Only Judah managed something and Floyd still did not get put on his ass.

Pernell has been flash knocked down and legit cracked(no pun) a bunch of times. And when his youth was gone it was over. Him and RJJ. Floyd is on another level.

I see it as flash and substance. Whitaker more on the flashy side, Mayweather had more substance(again no pun intended. I dont know why it keeps happening in this thread).

[FinitoxDinamita]

Floyd is superior in defense and offense

[The Old LefHook]

First of all, there is no "c," in defense.

It must be an Alex pun. Defense Civility. Hmm, I don't know who is better in that category. MW is a slightly greater defensive fighter, but as for defense civility, I just don't know, kid.
