DLH green against Whitaker? What rubbish.
DLH was actually at his absolute best at 140, BEFORE he got to Whitaker.
As to the issue of Whitaker not being able to handle quicker fighters, well Whitaker was already on the slide when he faced DLH who WAS quicker than him. Did it matter? No. Tell you why? Because Pernell didn't just rely on reflexes to avoid punches, he relied on ANTICIPATION.
And for what its worth I thought an old past his prime DLH did a better job getting to Mayweather than a prime DLH did getting to an old past prime Whitaker.
