Pep, Leonard and Tszyu would have no chance

[No Contest]

Jose Luis Ramirez battered him in his prime. I cant believe that one American judges scorecard, what fight was he watching?

Each guy I posted I gave a shot at beating Sweetpea, pretty sure he may have beaten quite a few of em.
Pep and Leonard may not have been big enough.

But you've gotta give Tszyu a chance don't you?
Pernell had a good beard, but Tszyu could take guys with one.

Leonard not big enough. Pep no where near the offense to pull it off. And Tszyu way to one-dimensional for Whitaker.

I'll definitely go along with the first two and I can see where you're coming from with Tszyu.
But he was a great slick am- he could have (and should've) called on those skills more in the pros.

Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Shane Mosley at lightweight or welterweight, Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran, maybe Aaaron Pryor and Alexis Arguello.

Only the best of the best.

Oh and Ricky Hatton of course

With Dave Parris as ref, or Joe Cortez?

In baseball they say great pitching beats great hitting. Likewise the great defensive backpeddler with speed generally has the advantage over the big punching forward-coming fighter.

So, I think the most likely candidate to beat Sweet Pea would be his fellow defensive artist, PBF. Meldrick Taylor in has prime would've been an interesting test. His speed might have caused trouble for Sweet Pea.

If sugar ray could outbox duran, I think Sweat Pea could too. Chavez is the test case there and even though Duran had superior movement and defense to Chavez, I doubt he could get to Sweat Pea.

SRL however was also a great boxer and had more power. He was a natural WW and would've had the height and reach advantage, so ultimately you have to go with him. Ditto for Hearns but with these two the real differnce is size. Mayweather and Meldrick were more in Seat Pea's natural range.

Only thing Hatton beats Whitaker in is a gravy drink off. Whitaker whips his ass in a boxing fight and a snorting contest

Notice the wink after I said it ?

I was joking. Obviously.

Aaron Pryor wouldn't beat Pernell Whitaker, he went life and death with Gary Hinton. Who was a slick Southpaw, but not in Pernell Whitaker's league. That fight right there shows you Aaron Pryor would of been totally outboxed by Pernell Whitaker.

Style makes fights. Im sure Pea could make Aaron look bad in spots but eventually Pryor`s volume, workrate, and tenacity would be too much.

Leonard wouldn't have stood chance against Whitaker? WTF he would have stood a chance against anyone. Also Tszyu would match up quite well with Whitaker, he was calculated accurate, with huge power. He would probably lose, but he would give Whitaker a ton of problems.
