    At 147 probably. Im honestly not sure about 154.

    Vasquez was good/decent 154 pounder but Norris/Vasquez two different proposition's. Norris would not have to worry about being Ko'ed by Whitaker so it might purely come down to how the styles mesh.

    I think Norris might be a bit too strong for him though. Whitaker could try and Box Norris but as was the case in the DLH fight, would he let his hands go enough to take a decision over Norris? the more he punches the more openings there are for Norris. If he got the benefit of the doubt from the judges he could squeak by Norris with a SD, but im not sure the judges would see what he is doing, would he be being aggressive enough to beat Norris?

    Norris is also taller, longer reach.

      Not sure either but it would have been very interesting. You're right about Norris being alot different then JCV, Norris was quick and wouldn't have to worry about Whitaker's power. I do think Whitaker can get a little dirty, wrestle a little and go to the body. Then again, Norris had really quick hands, would have loved to see it. There were also talks of Whitaker vs. Ike, then again that was late into Whitaker's career.

        you say cotto put on a good performance after the marg fight but his fight after the marg fight was the jennings fight and alot of people were not to impressed with that fight than after that he fought clottey but to you he had a so called bad day but it seems like he had 3 bad days back to back maybe it wasn't just a bad day
        Hatton was doing well against PBF until the ref stepped in. Hatton never said pac cant beat PBF.

        Only one person ever beat Cotto properly and that was Pac. Not Marge. Marge was losing up to the point he stopped cotto. Pac ran away from Cotto and was always in control up to stopping him.

          But secondly,

          I find it very ironic that Pacquiao fans are sitting here discrediting Floyd's win over Baldomir cause he already had nine losses.

          So let me get this straight. Pacquiao has been KOed twice. Both early in his career. But we're supposed to believe that Pacquiao was not the same fighter back then, and he would never lose those fights today. Fair enough, I agree.

          But then, when we're talking Floyd's resume. I bring up the fact that Baldomir had not lost in 9 years. Pac fans are trying to tell me that beating Baldomir meant nothing because he already had 9 losses. Basically telling me Baldomir was a bum.

          So in conclusion, some of Pac's fans like to have their cake, and eat it too.

          They want us to throw away Pac's two KO losses that were early in his career, but when we're talking about Mayweather, Baldomir was a bum because he lost nine times nine years before fighting Floyd.


          Double standard much?
          No takers on this one? Big surprise.

            I was expecting that. Anyway, Baldomir > David Diaz.

              hatton was never doin well against pretty boy you have to be actually hittin someon to do well,punches on the back of the head are illegal punches so that doesn't count. hatton did say that pac can't beat floyd he said that floyds defense is to good but he much rather watch a pacquiao fight than to watch floyd because he is boring, i think the article was in boxingscene somewhere.

              cotto got beat up in both the clottey fight and margarito fight and there were alot of people sayin that cotto was not the same fighter anymore including teddy atlas and freddie roach but as soon as he gets beat by manny people just forget that they thought that cotto was on a downslide

                Yup. No doubt about that.

                Dude, I'm not even a Mayweather fan, this **** just pisses me off. I refuse to swim with the current on this stuff. I can't stand double standards like that. They want people to kneel down to Pacquiao's achievements yet we're supposed to laugh at Floyd's. Like they're not both ATGs. Just ******, immature, and pathetic.

                Anyway, you're a good poster, with a level head. Unfortunately we're in the minority these days.

                      Victoriano Sosa and Ndou would have beaten David Diaz.
