What would have happened if in in their primes, Pernell Whitaker fought Floyd Mayweather Jr.??

Question

If Whitaker was at his best, say, at Lightweight or Jr. Welterweight. And he fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. at one of those weights, what would the result have been?

I think both were at the height of their powers when they were Jr. Welters.

Who wins this fight?

Personally, I think you'd be hard pressed to think of a better macth up in boxing history.

I think Whitaker would have found a way to solve Floyd's style and confuse him. And lets not forget the great speed Whitaker had in his youth, unlike later in his career when he slowed down a lot.

I say Whitaker by decision.

What do you think?

Answer 1

whitakers' southpaw stance makes the difference and in a boring fight, pernell takes the decision

Answer 2

I agree I think whitaker would take this one in a close competitive fight and unlike the other 2 guys i think this fight would be the opposite of boring. Would  have been an amazing fight.

Answer 3

Whitaker would outclass Floyd, something like 9 rounds to 3, maybe 8-4 if I'm generous. This bigenormous guy or whatever has no clue what he's talking about on any post.

Answer 4

It would be the most boring fight ever.
