I disagree with this though. The biggest wins of Whitaker's career came at 147. His fight against Chavez and his two wins against McGirt were more impressive than anything he did at lightweight. And when he lost at 147, it wasn't because of the weight class, it was because he was old. He would've clearly beaten Oscar and Tito at 147 in his prime.

We'll be saying a similar thing about Mayweather soon too. Say for the sake of argument that he beats Hatton and then beats the winner of Cotto/Mosley. If that were to happen, the most important wins of Floyd's career would be at 147-154.
