    You are right Virginia in my view is a very underrated place look at all the athletes that are from there Michael Vick, Allen Iverson, Pernell Whitaker, The Barber Twins, Moses Malone, Lawrence Taylor, Bruce Smith, Kenny Easley, Alonzo Mourning, Mike Tomlin, Russell Wilson, and Kam Chancellor . It amazes me that they don’t get recognition nationally maybe it because they really don’t have a sports team of their own down there.

    This could go under your new series as there’s no tomorrow and it would be fitting too because the first installment was about a boxer (Errol Spence) who almost died in a car accident. Then you have sweet pea who gets killed by a car

    Pernell Whitaker went up to 154 and beat Julio César Vásquez, who was a hard hitting Argentina southpaw whom had only 1 lost by DQ when they fought. Vasquez gave Ls to both Aaron Davis and a young Winky Wright. Sweat Pea made him look like an amateur!

    I watched some Pernell Whitaker highlights, this guy showed a lot of pose, his defense was amazing. Also, a lot of boxers, mma fighters, and all other sport athletes forget is to be flexible. Pernell, Tyson, Mayweather, all had great defense, pose, and flexibility.

    Alotta the step around moves that Lomachenko does, Pernell was all that. I remember watching him as an amateur in the Olympics he looked like a pro. I remember on that US Olympic team there was Evander Holyfield, Meldrick Taylor, etc. And Parnell we the MVP

    I want to share how great Pernell Whitaker was..... he beat James buddy mcgirt for his WBC 147 lb championship... at the time James buddy mcgirt was considered the number 3 pound-for-pound fighter in the whole world..... the next fight he beat Julio Cesar Chavez who was considered by most the pound for pound best fighter in the world..... and then the next fight he beat James buddy mcgirt again in the rematch.... so to recap this man beat the number 1 and number 3 pound-for-pound fighter in back-to-back-to-back fights... and that's the greatness of Pernell Whitaker Norfolk native Uptown Norfolk Legend.......

    Tragic lost... We used to order all of Sweet Pea's fights. Even though his actual nickname was Sweet Pete, a reporter mis-heard it and said "Sweet Pea"... What puts him in the all time greats is that Pernell was an UNDISPUTED only 1 none other CHAMPION... We would take Pernell slightly over Floyd jr. in a match. Loosely quoted, Floyd jr. said he got his confidence and new he arrived when he claimed to get the best of Sweet Pea in a sparring session. They robbed Sweet Pea versus Oscar and Chavez Sr. and u right, the politics got Oscar the victory. Then they went and robbed Oscar after he took Tito Trinidad to school, smmfh... Shoutouts to you Sweet Pea, your boxing prowess will always be remembered ~

      Eric Stanford i watched it very recently, and it was pretty one sided after the second round. Honestly I would only give Pernell two rounds. It was as close to an ass whopping as can be without losing all twelve rounds.
