Not too many punches landed in this one, but I have Whitaker winning this one by split decision, What you guys think?

Sweet Pea in his prime = unbeatable

whitaker 4 sure

I'm a "Sweat Pea" fan, but the "Pretty Boy" has never lost, has more KOs, and is bigger and has a longer reach.

True - although Sweet Pea did lack power only having 17 KOs in his whole career. I like Sweat Pea and he may even be the best "defensive" fighter that I've ever seen, but I just don't see him as being more effective than Floyd Mayweather.

sweet pea and floyd a nightmare to predict I really am not sure what a matchup

He is one of my favorites but just didn't pack enough of a punch. This was probably his ONLY weakness in the lightweight division.

Technical 'mare, impossible to predict how the judges would score it.. Would be hardly any punches landed either way......

PBF would be using the footwork alot and would have to draw out Sweetpea. he doesnt have the power to hurt PBF, and in making sweetpea go on the attack PBF could use the openings created (which are small but evident nonetheless) and drop him.

I'm sure Uncle Roger could pass on a few tips on how to hit 'sweet pea'; after all he did deck the then unbeaten Whitaker in their fight.

I like Whittaker a lot, but I still have to stick with Pretty Boy Floyd by UD.
