The most underrated aspect of Pernell's skill set! While Whitaker was renowned for his incredible boxing skills and impeccable defense, he was also a very good offensive fighter with underrated power and great body work so that's what I wanted to focus this highlight on. One of my all time favorite fighters Sweet Pea at his sublime best! www.patreon.com/haNZAgod
He is definitely someone who can be classed as a fighter that had power when they needed it most, as in guys that aren’t known for their power but have underrated enough power to finish guys anyway.
@@Rodageado Definitely I've been wanting to make a highlight of him for quite some time but always have other things in the plans. I'll get on to it at some point though for sure.
Pernell doesn’t get enough credit for his offensive skills, he could put together combinations without compromising his stance just a gifted fighter rest in power “Sweet Pea”.🙏🏽🙏🏽.
Excellent highlight. Sweet Pea was a complete boxer; while he is mostly remembered for his defensive prowess today he had an offensive skillset to match his defensive ones. Easily outjabbing opponents despite orthodox-southpaw awkwardness, smooth assaults to the body, and an inside game that can make even in-fighters back off. You are the only boxing uploader with the eyes to highlight Sweet Pea's versatile offensive game.
Sweet Pete Was legendarily fast On his feet. Had tremendous heart and rarely would retreat. Or ever surrender. Always took on the best contender. We knew what was on his agenda. His fights, we'll always remember. The way he'd ccomplish the task at hand, Attack the body and chop down his man. Of The sweet science, I became a fan. Great tribute video. 👏 RIP SWEET PEA #ATG #LEGEND
Pernell is one of those guys that if I had boxed, I would have wanted to have that kind of skill set. Great vid, and as ever you find the music of a deeper rhythm in the fighter.
Great to finally see a highlight of Whitaker’s work to the body. He seriously gets underrated when it comes to his body punching and in-fighting skills.
The things he does after and between punches is just beyond elite levels of awareness and control. He's using his non punching hand to lock up the arm opposite whatever side he's punching if he doesn't smother or back out at an angle after.👀
Thanks for the top notch content. Sweet Pea was amazing. Floyd Mayweather stated that he’s in his top 5. Watching this vid I can’t def see Sweat Pea in Money Mayweather.
You did it again @haNZAgod ! ... Another banger. 💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.. Watching Pernell do his thing w Nas in the background was like watching Michael Jackson or some other ATG in their element. Salute and thanks for the content 🙏🏾
See what can happen it's not where you start it's where you end legacy as one of the greats. He was born in raised in one of the most dangerous projects in Norfolk Va. Young Park across from another high crime projects Moton Park ( I ran with a kid that kept a pistol on him and he wouldn't go to parties in those projects, Sweet pea could've been a statistic blaming society etc. Decided to be better than his circumstances #become your own legend
Better than chavez Better than de la hoya Better than Trinidad even better than Floyd Mayweather!!! Bottomline but the magic of the media put us to sleep on this great prize fighter smh!!!
@@hanzagod 16 percent ko to win ratio he’s a pure defensive sweet scientist I still say he’s beat de la Hoya at his not optimal weight sweet pea for me beats any 135 lbser in history for me to slick to fast
@@tttsharpe8118 So that's the funny thing with Pernell is that his defensive skill set was so exceptional that a lot of people underrate his offensive ability, his body punching was second to none (this is why I covered it in this video.) Was he a knockout artist? Absolutely not but he did hurt and drop many of his opponents, Buddy McGirt the great trainer and great fighter said that he was very surprised by Pernell's power and body punching. Sometimes you really have to watch a fight closely to truly appreciate the greatness of a fighter like Sweet Pea. He wasn't only good defensively, he was good all-round.

Hey hanzagod can you do a jose luis el maestrito lopez video in the future?
@@Rodageado Definitely I've been wanting to make a highlight of him for quite some time but always have other things in the plans. I'll get on to it at some point though for sure.
@@hanzagod definitely agree with him, Jose Luis Lopez deserves a highlight.
@@hanzagod thanks man I really appreciate it.
Perfect song to match with Pernell.
Favourite boxer ever, shit’ll never change. RIP to Sweet Pea
Baddest out the park. Music selection always on point

nasty bodyshots! N.Y. State of Mind 🎶
What made him dangerous as a counter puncher is that he wasn’t just a headhunter.
True story
Sweet Pete
Was legendarily fast On his feet.
Had tremendous heart and rarely would retreat.
Or ever surrender.
Always took on the best contender.
We knew what was on his agenda.
His fights, we'll always remember.
The way he'd ccomplish the task at hand,
Attack the body and chop down his man.
Of The sweet science, I became a fan.
Great tribute video. 👏
RIP SWEET PEA

The fact you chose this music
Only one of the best records of all time regardless of genre🔥🔥🔥

George Benton did a great job with this guy
Love Benton's corner work with Pernell they were a perfect match
@@hanzagod Benton's best students were Whitaker and McCallum, easily
Benton really knew boxing up and down and wasn`t afraid to tell it straight.
@@somewhere6 Boxing needs guys like that today
We need someone like Benton in Europe
Always a great day when you upload especially a routes to the body video.
Amazing fighter!
Thanks for another great video
knew this one was going to be good the second I saw Pernell with Nas starting the video off
The things he does after and between punches is just beyond elite levels of awareness and control. He's using his non punching hand to lock up the arm opposite whatever side he's punching if he doesn't smother or back out at an angle after.👀
The perfect fighter
Only one Pernell Whitaker. Body shots n his movement. Great warrior. Great boxer
Holy shit this is good. Great, great job HaNZA-G. Glorious.
1:23 to 1:25 is probably the best part due to the music lining up perfectly
One of the greatest, he knew how to control on the inside
One of the greats. Incredibly skilled fighter.
The real defensive wizard! Threw combos in the pocket and then make his opponent miss.
Literally could do it all. Skillwise in the top 5 all time.
It's amazing how accurate and relentless his body work was. It shows us another side of a defensive genius
Thank you for still being alive as a channel,can you do about Vinny Pazienza please?)
Sure
🥊Great highlights and music 🎉🎉
Holy crap this guy's a real assassin
Fans only remembered Sweet Pea's great boxing defensive skills, but he could work on the body well. Good job. RIP Sweet Pea.
Increíble un genio del boxeo
Best lightweight of all time
Thanks for the top notch content. Sweet Pea was amazing. Floyd Mayweather stated that he’s in his top 5. Watching this vid I can’t def see Sweat Pea in Money Mayweather.
You did it again @haNZAgod ! ... Another banger. 💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.. Watching Pernell do his thing w Nas in the background was like watching Michael Jackson or some other ATG in their element. Salute and thanks for the content 🙏🏾
Glad you like it bud!
Estilo, calidad, número 1
"OBE TOUGH FIGHTER,A TRUE BOXER NICE AS HELL"!!!!R.I.P 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
Favorite boxer, ever
Born to box
His Bodyshots and the way he executes them are very similar to todays Top g
. Errol spence jr
@haNZAgod Another awesome highlight of an awesome fighter. Could do videos on Eddie Hopson and Tyrone Everett?
Sure I'll add both to the list
@@hanzagod thanks man!
George Benton is all class!
Царство Небесное Легенда ❤
من افضل ملاكمين في التاريخ
Went all the way up to 154 lbs was only five foot 5-6
So did Manny & Duran, but nowadays all these fighters have excuses
One of the closest intros ever 🥶
The greatest lightweight of all time in my book. He got blatantly robbed against Chávez! Boxing fans will never forget that robbery.
No he was not can't robbed someone when they are running track all fight Chavez won
Pernell was so fast that he could sucker punch someone expecting to get hit.
TBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤
PERNELLLLLLLL
He was punishing these dudes possibly the most skilled boxer of all time.
👍👍❤️💯
Prograis video taken down?
Yeah just got taken down unfortunately. Just can't seem to make any videos for modern fighters it gets taken down within a day.
@@hanzagod dang, sorry man. Had it saved to a playlist and was eager to watch it. Sucks that they do that
The thing alotta current boxers don't have the knowledge of how to throw proper combinations.
rip sweet pea
1:20, 1:45, 2:32, 2:37, 3:25, 3:40, 3:43, 3:47, 3:
And people really think Loma couldve beat this man😂
Absolutely no way Loma beats Whitaker
No way sweet pea to big to skillful,
Loma was best at featherweight
Blacks keep LOMA on the BRAIN
@@maddawg7134 You mean like how non blacks keep Floyd, Wilder, Devin, Spence, Tank, Charlo, (I can keep listing) on the brain? 😂
@@rojai9673 ain't no spook beat LOMA tho
See what can happen it's not where you start it's where you end legacy as one of the greats. He was born in raised in one of the most dangerous projects in Norfolk Va. Young Park across from another high crime projects Moton Park ( I ran with a kid that kept a pistol on him and he wouldn't go to parties in those projects, Sweet pea could've been a statistic blaming society etc. Decided to be better than his circumstances #become your own legend
Benton was the brains and not Duva
Better than chavez Better than de la hoya Better than Trinidad even better than Floyd Mayweather!!! Bottomline but the magic of the media put us to sleep on this great prize fighter smh!!!
1:23 & 2:08 & 2:12,
His body shots were not hard but he scored points
They were hard, Pernell was a very underrated body puncher and his punching power wasn't bad either for that matter.
@@hanzagod 16 percent ko to win ratio he’s a pure defensive sweet scientist I still say he’s beat de la Hoya at his not optimal weight sweet pea for me beats any 135 lbser in history for me to slick to fast

Errol Spence throws body shots like him 💯 and he has some of the footwork just not as defensive
I don’t agree with some of your boxing opinions or post but man….u know how to make a damn good boxing highlight tape 😂👌🏽
What don’t you agree with ????
Julio Cesar Chavez beat Whitaker
In your dreams but not in reality.
You are delusional ASF, Pernell whooped the 87-0 Pound-4-Pound King Chavez & made em look like a amateur
