    In Terms of What Fight was Considered a Bigger Risk AT THE TIME, Pre-Fight Predictions Mean a LOT...That Goes w/Out Saying, or it SHOULD, @ Least...

    Just Look @ Prince's BODY, from the Kelley Fight to the Barrera Fight...He was SOFTER in the Latter Fight, Undeniably, @ the SAME Weight...

    Kelley Not Only Had FEWER Losses than Barrera, @ the Time, but he'd Never Been VIOLENTLY Stopped, Rather Early, Like Barrera had Been (@ 122), Either...

    EASY to Look Back and Say Barrera was the More DANGEROUS Fight, but that Certainly WAS NOT Prevailing Wisdom DURING the Prince-Kelley Build-Up vs. the Prince-Barrera Build-Up...

    I think Whitaker wins at 135 and 140, but a closer fight. I actually didn't have Whitaker by a wide margin, I think I had it 116-112, but the rounds Chavez won were all close. Whitaker's weren't, he won most of his by wide margins.

    I can see a more closely contested 8-4 type fight, if that makes sense.
