Even Mayweather who was faster than Pernell shouldn't be up there because he doesn't have the combination of both power and speed.

Where is Pacquiao?
Pernell Whitaker had underrated power, its just he didn't normally plant his feet. Because he was just looking to land fast shots with no power. Then use his brillant defensive skills to avoid punches, one example of his power was against Diosbelys Hurtado, that was one of the most brutal KO's i've ever seen.
yeah sweetpeas power was underrated but i think floyds power is up there too or even way way better.. o yeah wheres duran?
Floyd Mayweather Jr had very good pop, at Super Featherweight. Also ODLH was a big puncher with good handspeed, at the lower weightclasses aswell. I also think Edwin Rosario had good handspeed, and his KO ratio speaks for itself.
