KO Leonard, Sugar is way to big

Leonard would be way too much for Pea at 147

Leonard by wide decision pretty easily

Leonard TKO's him middle-late.

Pea wasn't his best at 147 and that's a huge understatement.

Pea loses a decision, I can't see how he'd get KO'ed.

Another vote for Ray Leonard by decision.

I'd bet the farm on Leonard to win ... and wouldn't be at all surprised if he stopped him

Even as a Welter, Whitaker was altogether almost KO-proof, truly.

Still, Leonard was bigger & stronger & faster than not just anyone Whitaker's ever faced, but Whitaker himself. Leonard was also an under-rated puncher, & I think he'd hurt Whitaker, who'd shell-up in response, spoil, hold, & actually find a way to win some rounds --- some. Whitaker was a high-output fighter, despite his defensive prowess, but I just cannot see a way past Leonard's size, speed, strength, & versatility.

I actually rank Whitaker as the better man pound-for-pound, but he would really be up against it here at 147. I'll give Sweet Pea the benefit of the doubt & call this a decision loss, but Sugar Ray could & probably would hurt him at some stage.
