Re: Pernell would have beaten floyd easily
Mayweather is real fast but watching him he doesnt compare to say roy jones who has freaky hanspeed. Mayweather has stupid shoulder roll and he turns his back in the ring, a good fighter would punch him in the back each time he did that bull!!!. Their is a difference between quickness and hanspeed, mayweather has great handpseed and is elusiv eon nhis feet. Whitaker was quick on his feet and had great ring genral ship, angles sitting in the pocket making you miss, he was adefensive master, Whitaker made chavez look foolish a fighter ten times bette rthan castillo who mayweather struggled with enough said

And the fact that Whitaker's jab is faster then anything Floyd could throw or reach him with, i'm inclined to believe that Whitaker beats Floyd 9 rounds to 3 ;)
He would not out feint Mayweather..., and his jab is quikc, but not fast at all. No way do his reflexes match Mayweather's... Pernell never fought anybody fast... Put him against early Meldrick Taylor I think he loses. Mayweather is way faster comming in than Whitaker was especially when he was in the 130-135 region in size. Mayweather hardly ever falls for feints, and how he fights if you feint on him you will get countered badly. Nobody has ever had the twitch reflexes possessed by Mayweather who can move his upper body so fast that he can lean back then snap foreward faster than most people including Whitaker could just come foreward.
Mayweather still wouldn't hit him. ESPECIALLY at 135. And Pernell is a southpaw who rarely if ever got hit with a right hand ;)
