This would make for an unbelievably great scientific and technical fight; one for the ages. Too bad we cant get a time machine together and make it happen. Mayweather is hands down the best I've seen in a long time, skillwise, strategywise and otherwise. Maybe since I saw Julio Cesar Chavez rob a young black fighter who clearly handed him his first loss in nearly a hundred bouts. Chavez was given a draw because of the fear that the thousands of hispanic people in the pro mexican arena would riot should the other man be given the decision he clearly one. Years and years later this man would fight a similar (yet much closer) fight against a young Oscar Delahoya at welterweight; another fight in which i believe the decision was erroneous. Two years ago I ran into this man at a club in Pacific Beach, San Diego, CA. I was sure to tell him that he was a legend and had beaten both Delahoya and Julio Cesar Chavez but had been robbed by the judges in both fights. That man was Pernell Whitaker. He is one of the few fighters who I believe had the speed, technique, strategy and skill to beat "Pretty Boy Floyd" in his prime. To win, Mayweather would really really have to impose his bigger size and reach against an opponent who would know just how not to allow him to do so. If Mayweather could catch him, it is possible he could stop Pernell. But he wouldnt catch him. No one in Whitaker's prime ever could. Pernell Whitaker wins by a close but unanimous decision, 7 rounds to 5.
