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.
