    Leonard and hearns I think they beat him because both are excellent fighters with a huge size advantage while both are also faster than him.

    Aaron Pryor and pacquiao both best whitaker because they have to great a combination of speed, output and pressure.

    I've watched a lot of Whitaker, and he's one of my favorites, but he simply relied on his reflexes far too much, the actual technique needed against a lot of these guys' speed simply isn't there, and he didn't control the ring the same way a lot these guys did.
    I actually had to CC this post, hard to fault it really.

    A prime Whitaker was at lightweight he was very good at welterweight but he was an ATG at lightweight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    He was at the bad end of some decision but he had quiet the ran at lw i think Mosley might give him some trouble at lw. As for Welter i believe Hearns and Leonard would be to big and to trong for him. Then you radar who i think would make a very boring fight not sure what it look like or who win.
