Pernell Whitaker

:biggthump Sweet Pea was great, man. :banana: I used to love watchin' his fights. Wish I had some of 'em now. :boxing:

You obviously haven't seen what he has done with it lately.

Pernell Whitaker was one of the greatest fighters to ever enter the ring, what do you mean by waste of life?

Nab had said "what a waste of a life." Unfortunately thats how many fighters end up after their careers. there is a great book out that goes in deep with what fighters deal with during and AFTER their careers are over. The book is called Beyond The Ring. Simmons I believe was the author. Anyway, I highly recommend this book to anybody that wants a look inside of a fighters life and what he deals with.............Rockin' thx, i'll be sure to add that to my cart when i make a order from amazon.

The guy was a great fighter, he was as slick as they come, kind of like a much smaller Byrd, but with much more body movement. If you like true boxers, you'd like him.

I'm embarassed to say that I've never seen this guy fight, I read that his style didn't make him a crowd pleaser, but I am a fan of stylists. I'll have a look out for some of his fights.
