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
    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.

    Lol pardon me

    Hank scored 27 straight ko's from 1937 to 1938 getting the featherweight title in the process. Not only is that fight total in one year almost a ten year career today but they were all knockouts. Prior to loosing his lightweight title in a rematch with Ambers he was on a winning streak of 46 and 0 with 39 knockouts.

    NOTE to @Jimanuel Boogustus. After Hanks death it was found that he had an abnormally sized heart. By some reports almost twice the size of what was considered normal and not caused by disease. Scientists have concluded that suck a ticker was responsible for the horrendous pace he set in his fights.
    Sure Manny was relentless but he's not even on the same page.

    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.
