    Not his ideal class but I think he'd probably beat all of these yes.

    Beats all of them. At least the 93-95 version.

    He was slipping by 1996, almost losing to Wilfredo Rivera, and then the next year was losing to Diobleys Hurtado after 10 rounds. My guess is that his substance abuse and lifestyle was catching up to him, and wasn't preparing for fights like he should have. Maybe Whitaker loses on an off-night, undertraining, overusing and drinking.

    He probably was much more focused for the big fight with DLH.

    Only way this is competitive is if the 6 of them jumped Pea.

    The Whitaker of 93 would embarrass every last one of the listed welters.

    Put all 6 of 'em in the ring with the Pea at once,...none would touch..well, maybe Pac with a grazing jab or two.
