Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Marquez vs Pernell Whitaker (POLL)

[Grrrr]

We all know how good JMM is.. He outworked pacman (which is a very fast & agile fighter) which I think no one can do.. Good defense.. Accurate punches… Very solid chin… Good counterpunching ability... Pernell is I heard a defensive skilled fighter..

Who would win?? I have marquez by UD..

You have got to be a complete dumb ass to pick JMM. Either that...or you haven't seen Pernell Whitaker fight.

Great defense > great offense.

Are you saying you have never even seen Whitaker? Mate, if you like Marquez' skills you're missing out if you haven't seen Whitaker.

I would take Whitaker by decision. Not only was he actually a pretty big lightweight, that was his best weight and Marquez has only had one fight there and is tiny for a lightweight, so it doesn't really make much sense all 'round.

Yep.. Never seen him fight I was impressed with marquez though.... Cause he was a complete fighter..

Whitaker made a prime Oscar De La Hoya miss like 8 punches in a row with just elusivity and movement. That dude's defensive skills are better than both Winky Wright's and Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s. Seriously... ****ing insane how good Whitaker was on defense.

Marquez is very small at LW. Whitaker UD boxing from the outside.

Marquez is a great counterpuncher but his defense ain't that good really. This is evidenced by his face which always ends up looking like it was put in a meat grinder even against lesser foes. Whitaker would just be too quick and elusive for him to counter. Prime Marquez though is also a formidable opponent for anyone so I don't think Marquez gets embarassed easily, but I'll have to give Whitaker the edge in this match up.
