Lightweights: Pernell Whitaker vs Hector Camacho Sr.

[scorpio83]

Imo, Sweet Pea would toy with Camacho for talking trash about him with his good dodging movement and pop his mouth with lighting combinations to take a decision in 15 rounds at lightweight. What do you guys think?

[DrDuke]

Whitaker all the way.

[Evander]

Anywhere near close to prime Pernell Whitaker would likely win it,
Hector was a hit and run type of boxer who would have problems with most kinds of stand off strategic types or defensive guru's like Pernell.

[Onetimeonly]

Whitaker beat him up sparring before pea even turned pro.

[Nile4000]

I think Pernell would win in a 12 rounder in a good fight. 15 not as sure, but he may be able to take Hector over a longer distance.

In their prime,Camacho would do to Whitaker,what Whitaker does to lesser fighters.Camacho in his prime,fought.Two fisted speed machine from all angles the kind which Whitaker never seen.Good chin good stamina and faster.Whitaker beat people because he was fast slick and used angles.In his prime nobody did it better than Camacho.Dont base your opinion on the later hit run hold style go back to the showboat speed machine.
