Willie Pep and Floyd Mayweather

[Yogi]

maybe because Whitaker's time there wasnt the internet to know who really hated him so you dont see the hater alot.

Bingo!

Generally speaking, of course, but I'd say that Whitaker was quite a bit more "hated" than is Mayweather nowadays. I'd also say that Whitaker was much more deserving of the "hate" he recieved (and still does to an extent), as he brought a bunch of that onto himself with all that ridiculous clowning, mocking, and taunting he did in the ring as a way of trying to embarrass his opponents, as well as his disrespecting of a few opponents after he had fought them and a personality that just rubbed people the wrong way.

Flawless post.

Those who followed Sweet Pea's career on this forum are in the minority. Simply because most aren't really old enough.....or didin't really start becoming serious boxing fans untill later days.

Like you've stated: He's notorious for merely trying to frustrate his opponents into quitting fights.



Hehe....it's no shocking news that Floyd considers him the G.O.A.T.

"Pernell Whitaker is the greatest fighter of all-time." - Pernell Whitaker

That's yet another thing that always irritated me in regards to Whitaker, and that was how he was constantly referring to himself in the third person. Now when the typical person does that it doesn't bug me at all, but with Whitaker...Well, it was probably more the context of what he was saying, which was usually some comment meant to elevate himself well beyond mortality.

Whitaker was the first to make the meaning ' P4P' he created it.

The statement in your link which only states "Pernell Whiaker adopted the term to describe himself" is a helluva lot different than what you're claiming in regards to him creating the term and whatnot.

No, you can't explain it good, because your claims of Whitaker creating the term is simply 100% wrong, and honestly, I feel kinda silly even having this discussion.
