Manny Pacquaio .Vs. Pernell Whitaker @ 135.

[la-califa]

Would Manny be discouraged by Whitaker's defensive genius? Or just keep throwing punches & try to overwhelm Whitaker? Tough match to call. 12 rounds.

[DINAMITA]

Even as a big fan of Manny Pacquiao, I don't think this would be a particularly tough match to call. Manny may give Pea the odd awkward moment with his erratic thrusting attacks and his sheer speed and volume, but Pea was no slouch himself at 135, and I see his jab being the key here. I see him keeping Pac out of range with his jab, making it hard for Pac to land, and basically outboxing him for a clear UD.

Pretty much agree.

If Pac did what he sometimes does when being outboxed and tries to force Pea to trade (Pac's handspeed may almost cancel out Pea's reflexes at times) I think Pac would be shocked to find someone with someone with just as fast hands, crisper (if not as powerful) punches and someone willing to trade with him who would probably be getting the better of the exchanges.

By no means a 'schooling' or whatever idiot terms there are out there, but I think Roach would find it hard to give Pac any advice that he could implement against Pea.

117-111 Sweet Pea

[bladerunner]

Whitaker by wide decision bd style matchup fpr Pac.

[FromWithin]

Sweet Pea by decision.

[196osh]

Imo Pac would be lucky to win a round. Whitaker would get the better of him in every position, inside, mid range, long range.

Pacs advantages over Pea. Perhaps power, although that is not conluisive. With even handspeed

Pea's adatages over Pac everything else.

Whitaker very wide UD

[smitty_son408]

Pac gets humiliated and possibly stopped late.

[MAG1965]

Pernell would win a decision. The man was incredible. He was so good Floyd is similar to a poor mans Whitaker.

[Holmes' Jab]

Whitaker UD. Pac is a fine fighter in his own right, but Pea is in a different class.

Whitaked UD12 10 rds to 2

[Holmes' Jab]

Whitaked UD12 9-3


Yeah, something along those lines. :good

[HyperBone]

Yeah, something along those lines. :good

actually i'm thinking it's wider than that. pac getting at least 2 rounds and whitaker outboxing him for 10 rds

[teeto]

Sweet Pea definitely.

[TommyV]

Whitaker in 9, while well ahead on the cards.

[Addie]

A stoppage for Pea is not out of the question. Manny is still unproven as a Lightweight, and when Pea opened up, he had a lot of pop. I could see him being ahead on the cards, until late, where the outclassed Pacquao would be catching too many shots coming in. He could be stopped late, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, and predict the obvious. Pea by UD12.

[SteveO]

No disrespect to Pac, but Whitaker's defense would be baffling for him.

[Bill Butcher]

Pac makes too many basic mistakes that are covered up by all his other attributes unless vs the true elite like Marquez or Morales.... Whitaker is a better boxer than those guys & would just rack up loads of points in a performance that might look a LITTLE BIT like Pea/Nelson where its always entertaining but 1 man is always in control & putting on a clinic.

Whitaker UD Pacquiao

Selfkill, what the fucks with the avater ?

My man Morales looks fucked up, surely there were better ones of him winning or smiling or some shit ?

:lol:

No way man. That avatar, he looks fucked up, but it just gives the impression that he is a warrior. Morales was definitely that.

[rekcutnevets]

I believe that Whitaker would be winning most of the action, and a greater number of rounds. Whitaker was, however, susceptible to the occasional knock down. Whitaker is also notorious for taking off the final round.

I would predict Whitaker to win 9 out of 12 rounds, and being put on his ass twice. I also see Pacquiao visiting the canvas once.

Whitaker 115-110

[cpnasty]

Whitaker beats him easily

[birddog]

Pretty much unanimous in that a clear lopsided win for the Sweat one, I agree also. Wonder how this would play out in the main forum?

Enzo and friends would pull the "Manny loses every fantasy match-up. PEA KO1" card.

[leverage]

"sweet pea" was at his best when his opponents came to him. He would have taught pac-man a lesson, nullifying his attack and fustrating him with his defensive genious. Whitaker by lopsided decision.

[Seamus]

Pea stung, wobbled, but winning rounds.

At this point, I saw Pac wins by 2 points.
