Where do you rank Pernell Whitaker on the all-time great list ?????

[Jerry Rice]

He had the style to beat everyone, nobody could hit him, he should have went into the Trinidad fight with no losses.

I rank him pretty high especially after his big win over Julio Vasquez. I wonder why him and Camacho never fought? Because I think that could have been a very entertaining fight.

I thought his best performance was Chavez.

I'd put him right in there with Gans, Leonard, Duran, Armstrong, Williams and the like. Easy top 10 at lightweight and maybe top 5 on many lists.

Pernell, to me, deserves the highest accolades you could give a boxer.

It drives me nuts that people think Duran was better, or that he would have whipped Pernell at LW.

For my money, nobody beats prime Sweetpea at LW. He would have made Duran look foolish.

Man, you are one brave fella. I imagine they're going to give it to you for daring that Duran was not the best lightweight. I said this to people in the gym and it was like I talked bad about their mama. But I strongly agree with you. I just don't see anyone beating Pernell Whitaker at his best. I think Chavez was better than Duran as well. But clearly Whitaker was. Just one man's opinion.

I think only Duran would have beaten Sweat Pea at lightweight but at welter Pernell wins.

That is cool. I'd put him just below the 5 I mentioned at 135 but have no issues with those who would rank him higher.
