If you are talking about them fighting at their real weights, then big George knocks Pernell out of the ring and into the cheap seats.
Are you serious? George was one of the hardest hitting heavyweight, and no lightweight could stand getting hit on the gloves let alone in the head or body.
Hi Big Knuckles.
Pernell Whitaker was a true welterweight, and the highest weight class he's been in was light middleweight. George Foreman was a heavyweight. So, there is a huge size difference. Now, Pernell Whitaker was one of the best defensive fighters of all time, if not the greatest. And certainly, Foreman was passed his prime in 1996. So, the way thos fight wouls go is Pernell using his great defence and quickness to avoid Foreman for the first 10-20 seconds of the fight, but once Foreman lands a punch to the head, it's over.
Foreman KO1.
I think Pernell would get knocked out by any heavyweight, especially one of the hardest puching heavyweights of all time.
It's hard to take this question seriously since Whitaker was a lightweigh (135 lbs) and George Foreman was a heavyweight and weighed 260 lbs in 1996. Foreman by KO within two rounds.
George foremans fastest KO ever
How would this 12 round boxing match play out?
