    Oscar has MILLIONS on the line for 147. He'll lose the extra 3 pounds.

    And Jim (lol.), yes the fight was at a catch-weight of 150. I doubt he struggles with thsoe three pounds.

      Of course, coulnd't just be that Pernell Whitaker is one of the best boxers to ever lace up gloves or anything along those lines.

        mayweather would beat Whitaker, so I pick mayweather

        Everyone seems to feel obliged to hate on mayweather because he retired and ducked cotto, but after watching mayweather vs corrales you can bet Pernell would lose to mayweather no doubt.

            There were some reports that he didn't make 150, he was a pound over on his first try I think, I'm not sure if they weighed him again.

            Not true, Whitaker is way better than Corrales, RIP. Mayweather beating Whitaker is definitely possible but it's not a foregone conclusion.

              Why should he do anything that gives a lesser opponent more of a chance?

              Floyd can make 140, he fought Hatton at 147, didn't he?

                I also heard reports that he was actually a pound under. I don't remember from where, so excluding that. I still think he makes 147 is if gives himself time to do it, and goes in with the mindset of making it.

                  I think he can make it but it could drain him, he had trouble making 147 against Tito, as you know, it gets harder to cut weight as you get older.

                    I think it's much harder for him at this point, but I do think he makes it. Might drain him, but he's always had a decent beard and was able to deal with that.

                    The stamina is what gets most effected by draining yourself. And he's had problems with that anyway. Though, at 150, he looked very fresh.

                      His stamina did look much better against Forbes which surprised me but that could also be because GBP scheduled the weigh in earlier than usual to give DLH more time to rehydrate.

                      His stamina did surprise me though.
