- Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker the best defensive fighter ever in my opinion he was a four-weight world champion,lightweight, light welterweight, welterweight, and light middleweight, as well as the undisputed lightweight title, and the lineal lightweight and welterweight titles one of all time greats and a tad underrated he was willing to fight anyone never ducked any fighter...got robbed like 3 times and still ended up with a 40-4-1 record my favorite fighter ever

Im from Norfolk...This Man was My Idol...For the things he accomplished...You will never be forgotten Cheif
RIP pernell whitaker. One of the greatest boxers ever.
Probably THE greatest Pure boxer ever...
@@bryandungee1029 I said the exact same thing as you as I read the comment above
I totally agree the way he commanded & controlled the ring was a thing of beauty!!! Rest up Sweat P
By far the most skilled boxer I've ever seen, wish we could turn back the clock and see how Crawford and Spence would have paired against Pernell.
F****** crackhead
One of the most under rated boxer of all time.
Us gold medalist, 4x champ and the greatest southpaw the game has ever seen! Rest in peace Champ!
I'd 2nd that, but put Pacquiao a close 2nd! 8 weight division champ, can't disregard that! BTW that would be a dream fight to watch!
Hagler greatest southpaw to me. If you sp and can switch stance effortlessly. Beauty. Whitaker, Hagler & Paquiao. All time Favs tho
@@CG-sz9mr yeah that's a good point Hagler was nice
Sweet Pea over Marvelous Marvin??? Southpaw wise???
@@shotgun517 ... Manny struggles with patient boxing and a strong quick jab, just like last night... Pernell would have danced around him and picked him apart... Manny capitalizes on your mistakes, Pernell took his time and jabbed and countered people to death...
I used to watched this dude as a kid, and was amazed by his talent, ring intelligence and showmanship, allways been one of my favs, RIP Champ
Lmao was that a kiss on the mouth from his trainer?
F****** crackhead
A Champion has highs and lows but never stops fighting. Sweet Pea thanks for the humble example. Rest In Peace
My heart is crushed. Pernell was one of my favorite fighters when I was coming up watching boxing. I can't believe my kids was there in Virginia Beach right near the scene where he was hit. Can't help but to think that they may have crossed paths with him but just did not know who this Great man was. Pernell you are truly a legend and will be sorely missed. I miss those good old boxing days. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May you FOREVER REST IN PEACE CHAMP!!
My man PEE capital SWEET Pound for Pound one of the greatest can't rob you of that hating on style is why they gave you loses and draws RIP . Will never ever be another like you ✌🙏
There will never be another fighter like sweet p, rip
His untimely departure brought me to tears man..This was my guy in that squared circle.Fought all the killers in his era and was robbed of several victories that most of us already know about. 4X Champ and STILL, The Greatest Os All Time, IMO
Im not sure but my mother told me Sweat Pea did some orderly work at Portsmouth General hospital maybe, she was a LPN for years there, all I know was she loved Pernell , said he was a very sweat young man , she always bragged about him. God love ya Sweat Pea, you were the best. Hope my mom and you are laughing and looking down. R.I.P.
I loved Sweet Pea's style. 🥊 He made boxing enjoyable to watch.
He was always in shape and was in some incredible fights.
🥊 *Rest In Power, brother!*🥊
🏅 *Olympian Gold!*🏅
Rest in heaven Sweet Pea 🙏 you will be deeply missed.
One of best ever
rest in peace in heaven
R.I.H King! Raised on Southside of Chicago, but born in 2 up 2 down! Salute!
This man was 🔥in the Ring & couldn't be touched ( A legend No Doubt Sweet Pea put hands on you in that Boxing Ring!!)
He was one of the greatest fighters to put on a pair gloves. He was robbed 3 times in the ring. However, he knew who he was: a very great man. For those who robbed , they will all be forgotten.
One of the Greats. Pure Top-Class fighter. RIP & Respect Forever from Spain
People don't realize Whitaker was past his prime, near the end of his career, in the DeLahoya fight and he still barley lost a controversial decision. He only fought 3 more times after that.......If there was a greater lightweight than prime Whitaker, we'll never know because nobody ever beat prime Sweet Pea.......RIP to a 757 legend.
Nobody beat a prime Chavez either, including Whitaker. That fight should’ve taken place in 1987 when they were both Lightweight Champion and prime. Not in 1993 when Whitaker was at his peak (he even said he was at his peak in ‘93) and Chavez had to move up to Welterweight to make the fight (he only weighed 142lbs for the fight) because Whitaker wouldn’t fight him at 140 just like he wouldn’t at 135. This isn’t a knock on Whitaker it’s just the truth. Whitaker may have won regardless but we’ll never know because Chavez in his prime was something special too. Chavez in ‘93 was about the equivalent of Whitaker when he fought DeLahoya-still dangerous but past it.

@@havrisen6620 Yes, he did. Are you on crack?!
None existent
“Yes he did”
Do YOU even know what you’re talking about? Because I don’t. Communication kid....it’s a great idea.
Dean maqueen
Kid, where did you get lost? Do you not know what the word “equivalent” means? Or are you lost on “still dangerous but past it”? Nothing I said is contradictory at at all. Do you know what “contradictory” is? Reread my post and figure it out. Not rocket science there kiddo. You are the future ? 🥺
RIP Phernell Whitaker the best defensive and most flashiest fighter who ever lived. You will be missed.
His uncle was my Pastor in Portsmouth VA. Though I never met Sweet Pea he seemed a part of my family. Throughout my Air Force career I felt it was an Honor to brag a little to fellow service members to be somewhat connected to the Boxing Champ and Legend from VA!!! Thank you Jesus for sharing Pernell Whitaker and the gift You gave him.
A Real G.O.A.T. - RiP. - A blessing to see, a pleasure to meet.
There will never be another Pernell whitaker
A all time great, R.I.P Champ!
Pernell Whitaker at lightweight was unbeatable, he's definitely one of the pound for pound greatest ever
Sweat Pea is the REAL Reason I ever started watching Boxing...........He too me is the most UNDERRATED Boxer EVER, He was the Measuring Stick for a 10-12yr period, before Floyd Mayweather it was Pernell 'SWEAT PEA' Whitaker, he was that DAMN Good, had he not had his Demons outside of the Ring he could Go Down as POUND for POUND the Greatest Boxer EVER, just my two cent.........Rest In Peace King!!!
Truly the greatest defensive fighter ever. They robbed him of his biggest fights, but we know he clearly beat Chavez, and golden girl.
Facts
Pep was better defensively. So was George Benton. Locche was flashier and more entertaining. Also, guys like Harry Greb who rarely weighed over 160lbs and fought Light Heavyweights and Heavyweights and fought 300+ bouts and was only stopped twice (once early in his career against a heavyweight and once after the ref stopped it due to Greb’s broken forearm) and was reported to be almost impossible to hit clean by his opponents seem to be forgotten. Maxie Rosenbloom was another. There were many. Also, there’s something to be said about men who came right at you like Duran and Chavez that had exemplary defensive and is more difficult to pull off. Modern fighters, especially those with Whitaker’s style get overrated. He was a master for sure, but the greatest? Hardly.
Dog Man .....yeah right lol
Walt Dizney ....you all cry over spilled burnt milk....boo hoo hoo
You know what they say about assumptions don’t you? Stop acting entitled. Be a man.
He had it all And changed the game . Rest good champ . Sweet pea sweet he was . He Live forever being watched by me and hopefully my son Day Amongst many others that will learn from watching him Move up down left right , While brawling . Everybody knows and if not one day I will who this man is RIP
I grew up in Newport News not far from Pernell's hometown of Norfolk, Va. Now live in Philly, I know this loss hurts all of those in Virginia, especially those in the Tidewater area. Rest in Power Champ.
I loved watching him fight. R.I.P. brother.
Not one of the best of all times one of the Greatest of all times!!!!! RIP Champ thank you for the joy you brought our country by winning a gold medal! And thank you for the excitement the joy the entertainment you gave boxing fans around the world.
Comeaux could seriously take a punch. RIP To The Champ. End of an era.
I'm a savant when it comes to the 🥊 boxing game my 3 favorite fighters all-time Muhammad Ali Marvelous Marvin Hagler Pernell Sweet pea Whitaker
I would add Roy Jones jr
@@mariustalos6497 that's u
SAD sad loss.
Tribute to a great champion. I'm so sorry that he had to go so soon. But his legacy is forever.
Thanks for this wonderful video. Whitaker was too good to be true. R.I.P. Champ.
"wipe that smile off your face" great line. if a trainer or coach can't talk that way to their fighters or players, how will they win? I often wonder what trainers are really telling their fighters.
RIP Pete!!! Always expected to see you around the 7 cities from time to time. Never forget where you came from. Always kept it real. You're missed bro!
Sweet pea thank you when I didn't have the money to see you fight at the Scope you gave me free tickets also thank you for picnic in the City Park rest in peace 🙏
Wow thats awesome!!
Hey Gary we are probably close in age I remember watching in the Olympics and many pro fights
Legend of Boxing
Damn almost shed a tear at the end. Felt like i was in the ring with you everytime you fought. Sweet P stood for his people. They always hated on his style , robbed him , an anticipated him losing. You were truly amazing P and taught my eyes the art of boxing. How the hell he get hit by a car? De la hoya and Chavez were probably driving smh. Seriously though thanks 4 being a part of my childhood and will forever live in the hearts of all who cheered and love
This guy will always be in my top 5
I was very stunned when i heard about what happened to this man (R.I.P.), to
be taken out by a
traffic accident is something that could end the lives of any one of us at any given time and my heart goes out to all of this great and one of the best ever "pound-for-pound" prize fighters in boxing history, Pernell could hit and not be hit like magic
and for my baby boomer tastes was the "Floyd Mayweather" before that guy came along to eclipse the record and rapier-like precision of Whitaker's skill set...
What else can one say but wish this man's family and close friends well in coping with his untimely and shocking death?!
It's all very sad for those of us who revered him as a boxer, even if some
didn't enjoy his personality outside of the ring...🌟
Pernell Whitaker you will be sadly missed you fought in the errors when boxing was boxing your defensive skills off the charts yeah boxing skills. You will be sadly missed may God have you in his presence rest in peace champ
RIP Pernell sweet Pea Whitaker you will be remembered as one of the elite boxer of all time
God bless and keep it comin'
I cant think about SWEETPEA without crying
Chavez didn't want any of that smoke in a rematch No mas
Spelt Oscar Dela Hoya wrong there buddy lol
He got rob in the ramirez fight
He got rob against Chavez
And he beat De la Hoya
Oscar was hitting air most of the fight
@@davidgonzalez5044 BIG FACTSSS
@@davidgonzalez5044 and Pernell wasn’t punching at all 😂😂 Oscar ez won that fight
I appreciate you NOW more than ever before because I’ve watched the videos of your fights and saw the same thing in all of them..., no one has ever landed a clean hard shot on you. You were robbed on Chavez, Del Hoya, and Trinidad my friend. Truly one of the greatest to have ever laced them up! RIP Champ you will be missed!
R.I.P. CHAMP and thank you for enriching the sport by leaving your mark. You were a true technician in the ring and a fine example of what The Sweet Science is all about.
RIH Pernell (Sweet pea)🖤🥊🥇👑💔😢 condolence to the Whitaker family 🙏
Rest in peace my brother I remember when I was a kid I used to imitate you going to miss you and I still watch all your fights I am 40 years old now how times so much respect to you and your family
They talked about P4P around the time he was in is prime . He brought that defense that was masterful to open the eyes of those who thought boxing was about KOs
A true king of the ring, champ 🏆and🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️ world class boxer and a very great man ... R.I.H.
He probably had three more wins at least I heard
My his soul rest in peace...He have always been one of my favorite...He was the greatest defenses fighter ever....He can on front of you in the pocket and make you miss.Lay on the ropes sit down on the. ropes and make you miss....To tell you how great He was,I rank him ahead of Learnard,Mayweather,Roy Jones,Bentize,Tommy Hearns and Duran just to name a few....He never duck know one he never pick his fights or sit around and waited until he felt a fighter was past his prime to fight him.....He beat the best of his generation in there primes ...They took 2 of his biggest fights from him He beat Chavez and Delayo...Hands down..
RIP Pernell Whitaker
R.I.H Sweet Pee . Was rob of Titles makes boxing stinks .
Legend RIP Sweet pea 🙏

R.I.P. CHAMPION...Much Respect.
RIP💫SWEETPIE my heart❤ goes out to you and your family much love to all of them you definitely submitted your place in boxing as one of the best all-time best
I'm from Rochester ny & moved to Virginia & seen him alot in va
Rest Easy Champ! You were one of the kind.
This Sweet Pea had to see punches coming at him like it was slow motion a picture or in context 6 Frames per second. The flurries he avoided time and time again is the proof. However to be able to counter when off balance and KO some the great fighters he did, YOU HAVE TO SAY THIS MAN was the best POUND per POUND. Anyone that follows his lead was only an understudy
Sweet Pea is the GOAT for me. Displayed the sweet science more than any other boxer in my time( am 55) Not that I don't think there are others. Just that in his prime, on his day he displayed so many techniques and at such a high level! kudos for never dodging a fight(dodged everything else)
Champ be with God amen from a puerto Rican fan amen always.brother.
R.I.P Sweet Pea one of the Coldest Southpaw's to ever live..🥊🥊
R.I.P Pernell 'sweet pea' Whitaker,you Legend!
Sweet pea.....thanks... R. I. P... One of the greatest of all time
Legends live 4ever🙏🏼👑💪🏼💯♾️
RIP pernell sweetpea whita
Let all time great
My favorite boxer ever. I feel so bad that after he got his life together, it was cut short this way. RIP one of the all-time greats
I watched his career as it happened, he was one of he best boxers of the last 75 years, he beat PRIME Chavez AND Prime De la Hoya, he got robbed in both fights but we all know the Sweet Pea won those fights, he was a consummate boxer, he fought everyone and was a very respectable person. He was a mini Sugar ray leonard, they were cut from the same cloth, they both could box and fight, Sugar Ray was a better finisher thats all.
The great Pernell Whitaker gave Chavez a true butt spanking boxing lesson that he will eternal inside his mind forever . 💯🥊🥊
Robert Neeley good sparring match
R.I.P. "Sweat Pea" you will always be one of a kind.
R.I.P. CHAMP!!!!
