    i like Whitaker/Hurtado at 147...Sweet Pea was past his best already and had to pull out a late KO to win and that was very rare for Sweet Pea...

    sweet pea a top 10 atg and with Duran and Benny Leonard the top 3 lightweights of all time. esp Duran and Whitaker they were giant slayers as they beat great fighters at higher weights. i love watching both of their past fights. i loved their confidence and determination in the ring in their primes these guys were unstoppable
