    How was Leonard against southpaws? I know he beat Lew Tendler but he want what you would call a sneaky southpaw right. Any slick left handers he beat.

    Good call on Camacho. He's faster than Pea and pretty capable of holding his own in there.

    Carlos Ortiz would be a challenge.

    Exactly. Camacho was awesome against fighters who couldn't overly threaten him. Of course Whitaker would be the pinnacle level of such a fighter. I've always believed Whitaker's willingness to get down and dirty would be the difference. I'd be look at 9-6 or there abouts.

    I just think Floyd is a little bit quicker and sharper on the outside than Whitaker, which could pose some Hurtado-esque issues for Pea.

    I still think Whitaker would beat him, but he'll have to keep the battle at close quarters to do so.

    Unlike most unskilled plodders that Mayweather's faced, Whitaker will work Floyd over to the body, and won't pay a heavy toll on the inside for doing so.
