Pernell Whitaker vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. at 147lb

[sonofisis]

Whitaker is Zab Judah's idol, it wouldn't be surprising if he's fashioned himself somewhat in Whitaker's image.

He does....

When Zab was coming up didn't they say he fought like Whitaker with power?

Zab admitted to it.. its on youtube.. he just fights backwards... he walks to his left when he should walk to his right

Hahaha. No.

kay, 147 is well above Pea's best weight. It is also above Floyd's best weight, but PBF carries the weight much better.

At 147, Pernell did not look good. Which is an indictment of Oscar.

You won't find a bigger Pernell fan than me. But Pea is a 135er. 140 at most. At WW, Floyd is faster, stronger and more fluid than Pea.

People forget that Pea looked pretty bad vs Hurtado prior to the DLH fight.

He was past his prime. Watch the McGirt fights. He was past his prime against Oscar as well, and the Oscar that Pea(in my opinion) beat was definitely better than the one Mayweather beat.

Countdown to Judah-Cotto shows the rise of Zab and his apprenticeship with Pernell. He literally didn't wanna hit the guy in sparring until Pernell hit him with a straight left.. lol.

And to the others: If you were following Zab's rise in the game, and not just speaking from your 2 years of experience, you would know that many analysts and insiders were comparing the two.
