Sweet Pea - Pretty Boy

[SouthLondon]

Mayweather-Whittaker.
What do you guys think? Lightweight or Welterweight.

[Tito BHB]

i think welter because i dont think floyd would change division to fight wittaker dont think hes as good as he used to be, wittaker is at welter isnt he?

[Taeth]

prime vs. prime I think that FLoyd would win... he faster than anyone Whitaker has fought, and fast enough/has good enough timing and reflexes to hit Whitaker... His defense is almost as good as Whitaker's was, and he is IMO an overall better fighter, but at welterweight he might have more troubles because it seems to me Pernell might be naturally bigger than PBF.

[Purist]

Whitaker would beat Floyd easily, Floyd gets hit when he marches forward and can be countered. Floyd's weakness is his ability to be countered and Pernell would beat him easily. I think even Floyd knows that.

Prime for prime...really really tuff call.

I think that a lot of people are either unfamiliar with Pernell or either they base their opinions on the Oscar fight.

That being said...really tuff to call.

Two fighters that are way to evenly matched...excluding the fact that Sweet Pea was a harder puncher & Floyd, IWO, is more accurate when pressured.

[Purist]

I don't think we know Floyd's prime yet. Maybe when he starts to decline. But I still think there's potential Mayweather hasn't peaked yet.

This fight with bith in there primes would have been great for the boxing purests. I think Floyd would have the edge in power & would definately cause Whitaker problems... but I mean no one really dominated Pernell, not even Tito when they fought & Whitaker was well past his best. Whitaker was brillant both defensively & in attack, hitting you from all sorts of angles. I have to go with Sweat Pea by decision.

[Tito BHB]

its a tough call cos pernell was once considered by some the best p4p it would be interestin to say the least!

[Purist]

yea, Pernell and RJJ went at it for that number 1 p4p spot.

Honestly...even though he's still young...I think that he's already hit his peak.

Maybe around the end of 2000 or the beginning of 2001.

Couldn't have been said any better. I swear Floyd is the spitting image of Whitaker when he is in the ring which is why I like him so much. Whitaker is my favorite fighter of all time.

Although here we disagree wholeheartedly. Floyd has been SPECTACULAR, in every fight since the first Castillo fight. The Corrales victory was just the fight to get him on the map imo.

I think he is peaking now, 2007 will be a big year for him. De La Hoya, Margarito, Hatton, Mosley or any other newcomer in a STACKED division will fall to him (although I think Hatton will be his toughest test) imo.

amat...I know this is off the subject...& you know I'ma movie freak...tell me that youv'e seen the preview on the telee for SOAP?

That movie is going to be hillariously insane. Sam J on a plane fulla poisonous snakes & constrictors...priceless.

"I'm tellin ya we gotta get these muh-fukin snakes of dis muh-fukin plane!"

[Galaxy]

I'd imagine this fight playing out something like the Leonard Vs Benitez fight.

agreed!! 2007 will be an awesome year if the right fights are made, and to be quite honest this year has not been all that great in my opinion!
