BOXING TRAINER EXPLAINS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERNELL WHITAKER DEFENSE VS FLOYD MAYWEATHER DEFENSE 🥊

Trainer Derik Santos gave the most clear & concise breakdown I've ever heard when it comes to breaking down the difference between the great defensive styles of Pernell Whitaker & Floyd Mayweather. A lot of gems dropped here!

[@Jonathan-pp3du]

This is one of the best breakdowns I've ever seen from a trainer.

[@edrock8318]

Pernell and Floyd sparred on occasion. Rip to the great Pernell Whitaker🙏🏽

[@MP-yy6du]

If u wasn't in the Sugar Ray Leonard Tommy Hearns and Hagler era people for some weird reason assume u wouldn't be that good even if u were a fan favorite like Manny Pacquiao

[@singingchef23]

This was an excellent POV discussion.

[@edrock8318]

Floyd was driven and dedicated to the craft to be the TBE. Unfortunately Pernell not so much.

[@servantsmith9780]

The best interview ever about Mayweather. Wow.thank you for this post.

[@MP-yy6du]

I feel you only compare people from the same era or people whose career intertwined with each other

[@abudujana13]

Thanks for the video, True School Sports

[@Errolholden_]

Extremely keen breakdown

[@moiseslabranche3336]

[@edrock8318]

I heard boxing 🥊 intelligence being expressed!

[@RVFCalvo]

💯💯💯

[@TheRimasyele]

Most sober shit I even heard in my life.

[@jyhas9702]

Nobody cracks the mayvinci code

[@MP-yy6du]

I feel Floyd would only 3 losses if he lost at all instead of 15

[@redlionplumbing]

This is why BT is the best.

[@kaynetrowbridge9267]

This trainers knw he’s stuffs

[@user-im3ry7sr4u]

It's not the Mayweather defense the man who invented the Philly shell is George Burton the Mayweathers didn't invent the Philly shell they just made it famous

[@acarter4173]

I am gonna hedge and just say that I have seen great fighters against both Floyd and Pernell, and most of them looked like they were having the worst day in their lives. Not fun.

Whitaker by a mile for me. Floyd held and ducked below the waist a lot and let guys pound on his arms and body. Whitaker could make you miss without holding or running or ducking below the waist. Watch whitkaer 7 years older than Oscar fight him dead even and drop him. Watch floyd four years younger fight a 34 year old Oscar who was in semi retirement to dead even. Oscar had a much easier time hitting floyd than Whitaker and oscar was way past his prime then as Oscar’s prime was in his mid twenties. Oscar had way more mileage on him due to tough fights and his out of ring habits. Whitaker was also shorter than floyd which makes his fight v Oscar even more impressive.

[@TheRexrapper]

Whitaker bent below the waist more than Floyd did. Whitaker would literally squat to the ground to avoid punches. How can you bring that up as a criticism for Floyd and praise Whitaker of all people? lol. Oscar landed 191 punches on Whitaker. Oscar landed 122 on Floyd. In what world did Oscar have a much easier time landing on Floyd? Oscar himself said Floyd and Whitaker were equally hard to hit. He prefers Whitaker's defensive style though.

[@huwaheat]

Wrong Pernell had better defense and understood distance also and angels were crazy

[@Nickgonelie]

Sweet Pea was a slightly better defender but Floyd edges him on distance. Nobody in boxing history has better distance than Floyd. Sweet Pea was more elusive rather than actual distance.

[@TheRexrapper]

Whitaker has been dropped a bunch of times in comparison to Floyd

[@TheRexrapper]

@@Nickgonelie Whitaker isn't a better defender IMO. He is more flashy so people who pick Whitaker prefer his aesthetic. Floyd was legit better at not getting hit and his defense was great from the beginning of his career to the end.

[@meechsmith2825]

Mayweather fought in a weaker era than Pernell

[@TheRexrapper]

I guess. I don't think Whitaker's resume is better than Floyd's tbh.
