    Why did Zab Judah stop training with Pernell Whitaker?

    I remember they had a good run together, what happened?

    I don't think he trained Zab that much (1 or 2 fights?). Maybe they didn't mesh as much as some might've thought?

    But Zab's problem has always been focus and sticking to the gameplan.

        I can remember an interview with Joel Judah saying he (joel) didn't really get along with Pete I can see that playing a part.

          Zab is mentally weak he breaks down in fights too much. Its funny because he had all the potential to be great, if he had the desire and mental fortitude he could have been something special.

            Sort of like Ortiz.
