Poetry in Motion: Pernell Whitaker!

[!! Shawn]

And people have the nerve to compare Floyd to Pernell. Floyd couldn't hold Pernell's jock strap!

This highlight video beats all the Mayweather highlight videos for sure. Whitaker had better movement than Floyd hands down.

pernell showcased his great footwork & defense vs a prime chavez, prime oscar, prime tito trinidad while having no ko power & being a 5'6 welterweight.

mr.counterfeit cash showcased his overrated skills vs baldomir, judah, hatton, & a 36 year old career featherweight with 55 plus fights.

thanks for the vid post brutha...sweet pea was the first boxer i grew up admiring, and the guy was amazing obviously...

i'd give sweet pea the slight advantage over floyd, but it'd be one of the best fights of all time if they were both in their primes...i think that goes without saying...

for what floyd lacks in ring aggressiveness, sweet pea lacks in gym time...meaning, floyd is in better physical shape, while sweet pea is a more aggressive puncher...

its ironic that somebody posted another obligatory tyson is the "greatest of all time" thread today...because both sweet pea and floyd run circles around tyson...tyson would be lucky to be considered in the top 25...

Hate the Mayweather and Pernell Whitaker comparisons; two completely different fighters. Both great though.

Impressive... but

Two completely different defensive styles.

FLoyd has better blocking, and very good dodging..

Sweet Pea had better dodging, and not too much defense besides that..but his dodging was so otherworldly, that it was enough..



As for offense, completely different there too...floyd is more pinpoint accurate and the better counterpuncher.. Sweet Pea had better activity and generally the better aggressive puncher. However, I give floyd the edge on power when he truly opens up and throws his hands.
