                      You should go watch Whittaker fight and you would understand. He is very similar to Mayweather in many aspects of his game. He is who Mayweather was compared to coming up

                          I'm going off of the title of this thread.

                              Except that Whitaker didn't retire everytime it was convinient. Now, if you don't know what I'm talking about then do your homework.
