If you compare p4p I disagree. At welterweight it was clearly true that Zab could hit harder, and was still as fast, but Mayweather at 130 or 135 was p4p as good of a puncher as Zab at 147, and almost as good as Zab 140, but faster of foot, and hand. Both Oscar who has fought Mosley, and Baldomir who already fought Zab were suprised by just how fast Mayweather really is. Against Zab Mayweather was punching more to land than to get steam behind his punches, and thats why they didn't look as quick that night.
Zab probably does have the more "physical" talent. But we will never know will we? Zab didn't take advantage of it when he was truly peaking, he's still in his quote unquote prime but this is his last chance
