    The only boxer I ever talked to. He herd me singing in the dressing room and yelled out don't quit your day job. He joined in and I didn't realize it was him until I came out. We both started laughing and dapped it out. Best defensive boxer ever...

    Pernell Sweet pea Whitaker was one hell of a boxer and I don't think he had any legitimately unquestionable losses. He arguably beat Julio Cesar Chavez and at least drew with Felix Trinidad. It's so darkly ironic how such a defensive wizard with so much heart, who could dodge everything, was run down by a careless heartless driver. Rest easy champ! You will always be in the boxing hall of Fame and on the Mount Rushmore of the sport.

    That robbery against ramirez drained a little from him then the robbery against chavez was the proverbial nail in the coffin of his confidence & natural charisma. This man was one of the top 2 boxers of the 80s & a top 5 fighter in the 90s..those robberies affected his confidence & spirit even tho the physical skills were still there. It matters when your unbeaten record is stolen from you & your career affected unjustly through no fault of his own.
    No telling where his legacy & career would've went by the decision makers getting those decisions right.

      The robbery against Ramirez did nothing to Pernell. It actually made him a better fighter. He came back and won the rematch and continued to dominate pretty much his whole career. The questionable judging never regressed his fighting ability. He even became a more aggressive fighter later in his career.

I looked up the greatest southpaws of all time list and Pernell was one of the first to pop up. I watched everything single thing he did from nip to tuck. 4 years later even at 200 pounds I still fight like Pernell which is crazy. Rest In Peace legend you’ll be forever missed ❤

Sweet Pea truly remarkable his shoulder rules evasis ducks and pivots are almost Godly. What a great team these two made.

    Pernell was insanely nice. Beautiful counter puncher. Slick elusive movement. He could put together punches well which is never talked about. He could do it all and had plenty of pop in his punches as well which is also never talked about.
