You're joking right?
Whitaker fought Azumah Nelson and Julio Caesar Chavez. Nelson didn't win more than one or two rounds, and Chavez didn't win more than 3 or 4. And those two guys are two of the best fighters of that era. Either of those guys is better than anyone Mayweather has fought. And I'm not one of these people who criticizes Floyd's opponents, because I think he fights the best guys that are out there. But he doesn't have anyone on his resume who resembles Nelson or Chavez.
Then Whitaker fought both De La Hoya and Trinidad, when he was way past his prime and they were at the top of their game.
