Zivic had a style, who would trouble every fighter. Definitely a very good matchup, I´ll answer later...
You may be right Pea. He'd be stepping on his feet and hitting him on the way down,thereby Schooling him on the Manly art of dirty tactics.
Fritzie was an excellent boxer,intelligent,durable, good left Jab,good defence.More than a match againgst Pernell at 147.
You´re right, boxing-wise he´s very underrated, some people think he was just a clowning fighter who fouled, but he surely wasn´t...
Tell me something Lou,what do you think Fritzie would have done if Pernell had continously ran backward?
I think he would go to Pernell the whole fight like a wild bull who sees something red, he wouldn´t respect Whitaker´s power, IMO he would fight almost without guard and wants to hit Pernell with everything, and he would totally provacate him, like headbutting him and than say his famous "Pardon me!".... if it would work, I don´t know...
To be honest,Lou,I think Fritzie steps on his foot and bashes Pernell in the Mush with an Elbow on the way down,then sez Pardon Me!
Yeah, I also wouldn´t be surprised... Fritzie, what a glamorous personality he was, unfortunately today I don´t see such great and cool characters...
