I was joking. Obviously.

Re: Who would have beaten a prime Whitaker?
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.

Everybody get an off night sometimes. I'd still favor Pryor over Pea.

Actually Ice is right. It would be damn hard to do it. But if anybody blunts Pryor's attack it's WhitakerStyle makes fights. Im sure Pea could make Aaron look bad in spots but eventually Pryor`s volume, workrate, and tenacity would be too much.

Re: Who would have beaten a prime Whitaker?
Come forward overtly aggressive fighters are tailor made for Whitaker's style. Yeah styles make fights. In the case of Pryor's it's the wrong kind for him against Pernell. Just like come forward fighters are tailor made for Pacquiao the same applies here but Whitaker is instead an defensive whiz.Style makes fights.

He takes at least 8 rounds or more in a UD against Pryor.

Duran was a come-forward fighter. Are you saying Whitaker would've beaten him too @ 135?Come forward overtly aggressive fighters are tailor made for Whitaker's style. Yeah styles make fights.

Re: Who would have beaten a prime Whitaker?
I don't think that's necessarily true, none of the guys that came forward on Whitaker, or anyone he faced besides maybe Roger Mayweather had really good handspeed. Whitaker fought against aggressive guys who were a lot slower than him, and his defensive was heavily based on his reflexes and ability to outquick guys. No way he does that against guys like Pryor and Pacquiao. He would be caught blind by the speed and output these guys could produce. I think he does better against Pryor because he was better against orthodox fighters, and Pryor isn't as fast nor does he hit as hard as Manny.Come forward overtly aggressive fighters are tailor made for Whitaker's style.
