Whitaker vs Duran is a pick em fight imo, I'd favor Duran though.

I would favor Duran in a 135 fight. But other than him, I'd give Sweet Pea favorable odds against most lightweights ever. Maybe Floyd and Pac could get to him, but he ranks higher than the two of them without a doubt in my mind.

Duran & Mosley have got the best chances,I'd be a little chancy on picking anyone over the other 2!!

forget the holy trinity of the lightweight division
i think battling nelson would be most trouble for him

Duran, Floyd, Pacquiao, Leonard, Oscar.

Duran, Floyd, Pacquiao, Leonard, Oscar.

Well SRL never fought at lightweight and Oscar had to go to the well against a past prime Sweet Pea...

I believe he's refering to BENNY Leonard.

OH, that makes a lot more sense. Sorry, then, Carlos. I just hear Leonard and think SRL. I don't see how Oscar takes Sweet Pea, though.

Yes Benny Leonard is arguably the greatest lightweight of all time.

edit: and how could I forget Henry Armstrong.
