Pernell don't sound so good these days...

[elgaringo]

It sounds like he's had some alcohol! But even if he has'nt, he's still sharp, knows what he's talking about! Just sounds a little punch drunk thats all! not bad to say how many fights he had! I've seen worse!

He's a legend and I like how besides Brooklynite's he's the only LOYAL person to Zab who idolized him when he was looking like 1 of the next great thing's. He didn't turn his back when thing's are getting tuff now he said Zab's still got a chance to accomplish goal's and is young ETC. .He also said what anybody that watched Zab know's that he start's strong but has a hard time sustaining it, he said he want's and can teach him how to finish fight's. He likes watching prospect's and I guess training and scouting for talent will be his future. I'm rooting for a true legend to do well in his post fight life.

[FeelTheA-Force]

[GTL]

i was going to post a thread about this.. he does sound a little slow.. not sure if hes punch drunk or actually drunk..

gotta love him tho..

[OnFire]

Whitaker was a defensive wizard and didn't take punishment that would make him punch drunk. He has been known to abuse drugs but never took a beating that would make him slur. When the interview was conducted he was at the bar with a few friends. Maybe he was just feeling nice. Enjoy.

Ah, the man himself, am I right?

If so then good work on the interviews you have done for this site. I guess the drinks are the reason for the slight slurr in his voice...
