Pernell Whitaker. That Pernell would give any welter fits today, also p4p#1 at the time, and top welter champion. We have to understand why this was such an important win. It wasn't that Whitaker was passed it, that's not the point. Imagine a welter ranked as the best of the lot like Mosley but with Mayweather's p4p status. Combine those and you have the Whitaker DLH faced. It was DLH's first fight at welter as well.
