I had the opportunity to sit down and eat with this man. Everytime he saw me out in the military circle mall he always showed me love. Definitely a GOAT. Young’s Park all day
@James Martel could've gone both ways not robbery tho. Robbery when you clearly beat the fighter and they give it to the other fighter who clearly lost. This was close call.
Legend, my favourite fighter of all time “Sweet Pea”. Never got to see him live but his legacy lives on forever. Sad day for boxing when he passed but he was nothing short of greatness
I got big respect for Oscar however pernell outclassed that lad every round of that fight and hands down defeated him that night!!! REST WELL CHAMP!!!😢😢
Miss you, Thanks for all you and Coach Peet did for my son Carlos Perry he had a hard time dealing with your death but he up and off to the raises now , keep watching over him and Coach Peet Virginia loves you Detroit guys got much love and respect for you also, Long Live Sweet Pee
@@anthonytaylor7928 I feel like he’s not mentioned enough. I guess thats why I say I feel he was underrated. For me Pernell was one of the best to do it bro! Real Talk 💯
@@benjaminrodriguez4429 when is the hell is he supposed to be mentioned nobody mentioned Larry Holmes In the last year or so it doesn't make him underrated that kinda logic is ridiculous just because someone isn't mentioned
@@anthonytaylor7928 I just feel like he’s not mentioned enough and that’s a matter of opinion bro. Because when I think about it he really isn’t mentioned as much as he should be is all I’m saying. When it comes to the Greats he’s one of those I feel who is rarely mentioned & he’s definitely one of the best to ever do it!! Period!! I feel like his name doesn’t come up as much as it should!
@@benjaminrodriguez4429 Jesus Christ hes won titles in about four or five divisions he was ring magazines fighter of the year in 1989 that's not underrated dude every body can't be mentioned all at once doesn't mean their underrated hes also is considered one of the best defensive fighters of all time this logic of not being mentioned enough is just silly logic
This man was so great with his skills. He changed the rules of boxing. They started giving credit for being the aggressor even if you're getting beat on. Pernell was the prototype of Floyd. He destroyed Chavez and Delahoya But got robbed.
@@Aldine281if you honestly think Chavez win that fight you’re a casual. Not only did he get so embarrassingly trashed that not even his fans cheered for the draw. Everyone knows Chavez lost that night
RIP King Sweet Pea! Nobody could mess with you. Better defense than Floyd cuz you never ran but stood right there and still no one could touch you up good. Certified Legend!!!
Sweet Pea was such a slick fighter with his movement, ring generalship, and boxing IQ. I watched both the Chavez and De La Hoya fights and he was definitely robbed by politics. He made them both look bad. RIP Champ 🙏
I saw that fight. He beat the breaks off of Oscar but, he played around too much. He could’ve knocked Oscar out but, he couldn’t stop playing. He pretended to get wobbled in one round and lost the round because of it.
AB wish he had a career like Sweet Pea you were better off saying Zab Judah. Pernell Whitaker is a all time great he beat undefeated Chavez Azuma Nelson Oscar Delahoya he was robbed big time because of boxing politics.
I was wondering if anyone would comment on how funny the thumbnail is. "Without getting hit" is quoted from a face with a half-closed right eye. Also, who has ever claimed to have "won" in boxing because of how they "performed"?
LARRY AINT NEVA BEEN SHIT
💯 Neva. Old Bitch Ass.
when mayweather told him that they went in on him but i agree with you especially when it came to ⚫️fighters 😂😂😂
Facts
@@ajstang322 blck fighters
@@Rundmc40 the last time i used that word i got banned and called some names 💯
Pernell was the Barry Sanders of boxing. Untouchable. Pernell, Willie Pep, Ali, and Sugar Ray Robinson were artists in the ring.
Untouchable with a swollen eye? 😂😂
And just got his black ass kicked
@@Cabledeluz1977Did you even watch the fight?
Never heard this before and I’m from Michigan so I love this comment
I had the opportunity to sit down and eat with this man. Everytime he saw me out in the military circle mall he always showed me love. Definitely a GOAT. Young’s Park all day
He made delahoya look foolish in this fight n if you watch it with no volume, you will see exactly how good pernell was
The golden boy was schooled
And DLH still won razor close tho.
@@DavidHernandez-ww2xm razor robbery

I don't know what fight you saw, but de la Hoya took it to his as$.

Pernell your a boxing legend and your cemented as one of the greatest.
1 of the three men who made start boxing
Great voice
One of the greatest fighters to ever step in the ring. You’re truly missed Sweet Pea!!
Legend.
Oscar gave Whitaker his flowers in the Mike Tyson podcast..it was awesome to hear him praise hin
No he didn’t was anxious and being disingenuous
@@BRADYLIV ??? lol bro he straight up gave Whitaker his praise saying he was his toughest opponent
I remember Oscar celebrating after rounds he lost. Fix was in.
Yeah oscar was a clown for that lol con man
💯 thanks. PV
La légende Pernell Whitaker tu m'as fait aimer la boxe repose en paix champion
One of the best ever!
This man was so great with his skills.
He changed the rules of boxing.
They started giving credit for being the aggressor even if you're getting beat on.

No chavez and oscar beat his ass easy

Rest well, Sweet Pea 🕊️
One of the main fighters I idolized coming up as an amateur
ill NEVER forget PURNELL!!!!!
Spoken like a warrior
Best defensive fighter in the history of boxing, which I believe distracts most from how great of a power puncher he was.
Pernell much respect champ
RIP champ
Pernell is a legend. Top 3!!!! Ali, Tyson, Sweet Pea!!!
This was so true pernell won thst fight
How so?
You knew he did but I get it coming from you
Hes one of the best p4p of all time

Pernell Whittaker and James Toney, the two greatest defensive boxers of all time
All time great
The GREATONE 🥊
The 👑 king
This fight and Ike Quartey Oscar De La Hoya won them through drunken judges
RIP King Sweet Pea! Nobody could mess with you. Better defense than Floyd cuz you never ran but stood right there and still no one could touch you up good. Certified Legend!!!
The best
Long love Pernell
Sweet Pea was a Unique fighter. It was sad to see him robbed vs De la Hoya & Chavez.
He definitely won even old man Larry had to admit it.
Legend
Pernell tha 🐐 Goat 💯🔥👏🏽 🏆🏆
Rest in power.Sweet Pea
When judges dislike somebody 😢😢😢
It was a very close fight....those scores were ridiculous...I had Sweetpea winning that Oscar fight.
Whitaker won that fight against Oscar.
Love me some SweetPea!!!!
VA stand up!!!!
#NorfolkNative
Norfolk Va finest!!!
Bowling Green projects standup!!!
Sweet Pea was such a slick fighter with his movement, ring generalship, and boxing IQ. I watched both the Chavez and De La Hoya fights and he was definitely robbed by politics. He made them both look bad. RIP Champ 🙏
Long Live Sweet Pea
not tryna sound salty bc there were many swing rounds, but i truly believe pernell won and won decisively.
Sweet Pea...
I know he talking about Oscar because that was a straight up jack move
It broke my heart when he got rob for second times yo
Pernell Whitaker was robbed two times while by Oscar De La Hoya, and the other one by Julio, Cesar Chavez
Class Act!!!!
🐐 🐐 🐐
RIP SWEET PEA!!!
Love for sweet pea
DA MAN! No Need To Say More✌😎
Closed eye an all😂
YEAH, PERNELL WON IMO
He definitely gave the last round away. No way he didn't know that
I saw that fight. He beat the breaks off of Oscar but, he played around too much. He could’ve knocked Oscar out but, he couldn’t stop playing. He pretended to get wobbled in one round and lost the round because of it.
Way best defensive tactician in boxing
Must respect sweet pea
That was a horrible decision, every time it gets brought up, it still pisses me off.
Sweet pea!
You won!!!!
He didn’t get robbed vs Oscar at all!
Can someone tell me which fight it was? Thanks.
❤️💪💯🙏
There's no way he could really think it was a blowout
LL Pete
Did sweet pea dirty
You need to be able to block reactable lows consistently by orange ranks
This how AB career is going
Don’t ever compare Pernell to that Bum
@@yvans. sorry my guy you better check his stats he just had and infatuation will Floyd that allowed his career to stall
Put some respect on Pernell Whitaker’s name AB is no where near his talent and skills
AB wish he had a career like Sweet Pea you were better off saying Zab Judah. Pernell Whitaker is a all time great he beat undefeated Chavez Azuma Nelson Oscar Delahoya he was robbed big time because of boxing politics.
@@bruceleroy965 your better check ab stats
WHICH FIGHT IS THIS?????
When he fought oscar
Worse robbery of all time
Ain’t got hit with a bruised eye lol
I was wondering if anyone would comment on how funny the thumbnail is. "Without getting hit" is quoted from a face with a half-closed right eye. Also, who has ever claimed to have "won" in boxing because of how they "performed"?
With out getting hit , than what that knot above your eye my boy
He did get cheated, I watched it live
