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.
