You're entitled to your opinion. I like Floyd more but I don't know if he has a win like Pea's over Chavez. Even Buddy McGirt was a top five p4per when he and Pea fought. Azumah, etc.
Everybody's entitled to their opinion. Don't take me stating my opinion strongly with me not recognizing your prerogative to disagree.
plus pea was on his coke shyt..training messing up etc.
A crime.
Basically. I still have some animosity towards Steele for robbing Taylor especially knowing what it ended up costing him in the short and long run.
I think Sweet Pea was a better pure defensive fighter in the sense he was in the Matrix when it came to evading punches. But Floyd is the unquestioned best ever at managing distance and positioning. Floyd has a way of always putting his opponent in a position where it's uncomfortable to attack. Pernell wasn't so good at that. Or maybe just didn't give a shyt because he knew he was slipping what you were throwing. Let's remember that Pea got dropped a few times in his prime. Mostly because he was so willing to engage.
outside the bodega ranting about boxing.Couple things that's just simply insane about Floyd:
1) His jab, most people throw it straight, Floyd's is like a homing missile, it finds your face/body someway somehow, his ability to adjust the landing point of his jab that fast at any angle and still deliver a blow is something out of an old wives tale
2) His ability to make you miss with his feet plantedHe's literally in your face but you can't catch him. And what's worse it looks like he's not making any effort. That's gotta be very frustrating, the best strategy I saw in that video was Maidana who was fighting joker style, just throwing sh*t from all angles with no rhyme or reason, and he still met his inevitable fate
3) That counter. It's almost to the point where if Floyd's opponent missed a jab, the reaction from you as a fan is automatically like, "you just f*cked up breh", except Floyd's opponents have those "you just f*cked up breh" moments like 20 times in a round
