Boxing will never see a fighter with his command of the ring, Ali said it best, " float like a butterfly and sting like a bee" definitely describes Pernell 'Sweet Pee" Whitaker
My family and I use to live about a mile from his house and we would trick or treat every year in his neighborhood. We always made sure to stop by his house because he would pass out king sized candy bars 😁and he was always kind hearted. He would come out and talk to us and tell us boxing stories as well. Such a cool dude and wonderful boxer.
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.
This was beautifully said..I grew up on Sweet Pea, he made me want to box and be able to defend myself, I cried whenever he got robbed..His heart did change after being robbed ( a few times )..He'll always be one of my top dawgs. I wish he was alive so we could hear his stories and his take on everything..
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.
Thank you for bringing "Sweet Pea" to today's audiences, including me. I knew about him but alas watched far too few of his fights to fully appreciate his science of the most brutal of arts. Only now can I admire the craft, skill and greatness of this legendary fighter. RIP Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker - a true great of the pugilistic art.
@@demetriusmiddleton1246 I realized that after the end of the video, but you get the sentiment! This is for the actual athlete or their family! Just didn’t edit it!
Another Amazing Fighter I Grew Up Watching With My Dad. His defense was impeccable on so many levels with a cool ass name as well. Another amazing documentary again Joe. You keep killing the Sports Documentary Game On All Platforms.
This fighter appears to perceive his opponents actions in the very instant that they are occurring to due to his phenomenal mental power. Truly amazing. His fights just look like he's playing around.
I used to live in Virgina. 2014, Sweet Pea came in to the Cigar Shop I managed at the time, took a bunch of photos with the guys in the lounge, got some cigars, and left. I'd see him at the corner restaurant every now and again. His ability to duck and move was incredible! I always wondered if you were going to do a documentary on him. thank you!
Thank you for creating this outstanding video of our never-to-be-forgotten hometown hero, Pernell Whitaker. Rest in Peace, Sweet Pea. We love and miss you.
One of my all time favorites and I was blessed to see him fight 1 time at MSG against Buddy Mcgirt,who’s a New Yorker like myself and I was still going for Sweet P,RIP…
@@edupbeat I remember Whitaker one time saying about Mayweather when they sparred. He said we danced, we didn't spar. Jokingly saying they had a hard time landing anything potent on each other with their punches.

@@InfamousAWJ Castillo outlanded and whipped Floyd like his personal piñata 🤣 Ramirez and De La Hoya schooled and whipped Pernell. Pernell looking like a middleweight still couldnt beat a coked out Chavez 🤣
I ran into Sweet Pea once in New York at the prime of his career and again in Charlotte NC at the end of his career. We were from the same area and I enjoyed meeting him twice. One of the greatest for sure.
Sweet Pea just doesn’t get his just due. Top 10 fighter in my opinion and my favorite fighter of all time.Thanks for sharing this documentary so the younger boxing fans can see how great Sweet Pea was.
Pernell Sweet pea Whitaker!! My favorite boxer growing up , he was just so good everywhere, offensively, defensively his ability to counter punch, his speed he had power ... He definitely got robbed in a few fights politics towards the tail end of his career but the truth is in his prime he was clearly ahead of his time.. the 1 pound-for-pound best boxer I've ever seen meaning when I was growing up he held that title on top of his own belts
So why no mention of Pernells trainer george benton. He taught Whitaker the philly shell defence that everyone loves. Without benton pernell ain't pernell. Look up george benton.
Sweet Pea is the reason I started boxing. I was left handed (southpaw) and 140 pounds at best so pretty small so I thought it would be best to find somebody with my similar body type to teach me how to box. 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 ❤
Tysm for this one! The most underrated boxer of all time imo... And my p4p GOAT! He made boxing look like art in motion... He was also a victim of some of the worst decisions in boxing history. 😢 . RIP Sweet Pea 👑 🥊 🐐
Sweet Pea was a byproduct of George Benton, who at the time was the crown naster of the Philly Shell defense. It sucks how Benton never got the middleweight title first for being drafted in the Korean War and then being shot. Sweet Pea truly remarkable his shoulder rules evasis ducks and pivots are almost Godly. What a great team these two made. Sweet Pea you made my birthday by watching you brilliantly being you in the ring. RIP Sweet Pea and Professor Benton. And of course, thank you, Joe Vincent. No one brings it home on my birthday, then when I watch your documentaries.
No cap I was jus thinking to myself the other day while watching your Roy jones jr video “why he hasn’t did one on sweet pea” come to yt and this the first vid I see Joseph I love the work bro been a fan for a while now salute to you💯🖤
One of the best to ever do it, they don't bring his name up when they talk about top 10 fighters of the past, pernell could do it all, started watching him in the early 90s, they need to start talking about this man more n giving him his props cuz he deserves it, a true goat, rip sweet pea u will never be forgotten.
No question. Pound for pound one of the best to ever do it. One of the few dudes of the Morden era who,would have made it in any era. Legit pound for pounder.
Wow,wow,wow!!!His timing and range perception is uncanny. It looks like he’s just moving around casually. Another masterpiece of sports documentary. Nobody does it like Joe.
A fraction of a second before you decide to throw a punch at Sweet Pea, he moves out the way ever so slightly so that he can come back with an off-angle and effective counter punch. We all have reflexes and reflexes can be developed but what Pernell had was a gift from God. RIP to the Champ. Great video.
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.
Yes!!! Mr. Vincent your dropping boxing gems here lately! Just patiently waiting for Bernard Hopkins, Diego Corrales and Bobby Chacon. Nobody’s ever done one on Corrales or Chacon.
Amazing work as always. These boxing documentaries are the best thing there is on RUclips. I would suggesting making a video about Bernard Hopkins, aka the Executioner next. Im sure it would be a great watch. Thank you Joe!
For me the greatest defensive fighter of all time. I mean, who else, out of his prime and with drug addiction problems, would outbox prime JCC and Oscar de la Hoya?
pernell whitaker gotta be the most robbed boxer of all time (beside emanuel augustus), he got robbed against jose luis ramirez, he got robbed against julio cesar chavez, and he got robbed against oscar de la hoya
Thanks for the video. Sweet Pea is my all-time favorite boxer. Best ever in the lightweight division. He was what Tyson was in the Heavyweight division.
