Im a big Pernell Whitaker fan but i think JCC was further away from his peak, JCC fought Pernell Whitaker at Welterweight a weightclass JCC never had success at. Plus not long after he went on to lose to Frankie Randall.

I would say Pernell Whitaker was pretty much almost at his peak, but he wasn't at his best at Welterweight either IMO.

JCC was a monster at Super Featherweight/Lightweight and that was JCC's peak. And Pernell Whitaker's peak was at Lightweight.

If they had fought at the lower weightclasses it would of been much more of an action fight IMO.
