The black dude is Antonio "Kid Pambele" Cervantes from Columbia. Great Lightweight / Jr. Welterweight in his day.

Well into his forties when he was beaten by Aaron Pryor for the Jr. Welterweight title

Sadly, Pernell Whitaker was never the same after he lost to Oscar Dela Hoya. Man, he was talented.

That loss had little to do with him sliding as a fighter, but his lifestyle around that time had ALOT to do with it.

I liked Whitakers better. I believe Floyd is better though.

Coke and partying ended Whitaker's prime, which was until about 1993-1994. He started slipping clearly by 95-96 but still could beat top guys.
