    Whitaker wins a decision, underrated toughness and his pure boxing ability helps him win in a close but clear decision. Duran was a tough SOB but he could be outboxed and I think Whitaker would have just enough pop at LW to allow him to box Duran over 15. Now that being said I wouldn't be suprised if Whitaker gets dropped 1 or 2 times late to lose a close decision or even get tko'd but at 135 I just don't see that happening. Pernell is the man @135 IMO
    If you think you can......you can, if you think you can't .......you're right!

    Agreed and nice av.

    At LW, Duran never boxed anyone close to Pernell.

    JMM vs Armstrong – Armstrong points being busier and not giving Marquez the time or space to counter.
    Benny vs Duran – Duran catches up with Benny and over powers him to a decision.
    Mosley vs Sweet Pete – Sweet pea outpointing Shane comfortably in most part.
    Ike Williams vs Mayweather – Williams is a tough hard and entertaining fight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    JMM doesn't need guys to give him time and space, he makes it pretty well IMO

    Armstrong was perpetual motion when he got started and did not stop until the last bell. He would be too much for JMM.

    Yeah right. He did that well against guys who would stand in front of him. A counter puncher of JMM's skill would eat him up throwing those wild shots.

    Hank wasn't a big puncher either, he was a "wear you down" guy, and he wouldn't land that consistently on JMM without taking some big bombs in return.

    If a prime Manny Pacquiao isn'tperpetual motion, I don'tknowwhat is!
    Also, I personallythink JCC lost the fight to Pernell through fatigue, even though he wasn'texactlymissing with a great deal of shots. I think Duran puts a bit of a beating on Pernell in spots en route to a close UD.
