sweet pea pernell whitaker

[brownpimp88]

where does he rank among the lightweights. Lets look at his resume at lightweight.

roger mayweather
greg haugen
louie lomelli
jose luis ramirez
freddie pendleton
azumah nelson
juan nazario
anthony jones
policarpo diaz
jorge paez
harold barzier
rafael pineda

On top of that, this is his resume during his 4 year reign as the welterwight king.

buddy mcgirt x2
julio cesar chavez
santos cordona
julio cesar vasquez
gary jacobs
jake rodriguez
wilfredo rivera x2
disoblay hurtado


Now i can see why Ring Magazine ranks him as the 10th best fighter to ever live. On top of that he was robbed against ramirez the first time and arguably beat a prime oscar de la hoya. His only real losses were his last two fights.

i def. agree although the FHL fight was a close one, i still have it recorded and i seen it over and over it was very close, whitaker had the quickest feet in boxing

He lost to oscar no questions about that. The reason that fight is contraversial is because oscar won by so much.

Sweet pea is with out a doubt top 10 all time fighters not just in his division. Lot of people don't rate him higher because he was a little guy, but in skill he beats so many people who are in most top p4p altime list

Sweet Pea probably slots in at #1 for me

[brownpimp88]

Ring magazine considers his fight with chavez as a win for him anyways. So his top wins are chavez and nelson, damn he's good.

Personally, i think he's better than ike williams, barney ross and joe gans. The question is, is he better than duran and benny leonard.

[Del Coqui]

Speaking of robberies, he got a gift against Wilfredo Rivera on their first fight, the second one was a very close one, could've gone either way.

even if he lost the first fight to rivera, he got robbed twice in his career against chavez and ramirez. Pernell clearly showed his superiority over chavez, at the alamodome pernell proved he was the better fighter. Cong**** on being in the hall of fame sweet pea.

Damn I forgot all about the Chavez fight, he did school Chavez. And he didn't run neither, moved side to side and schooled him for 12. I remember everyone was picking Chavez by KO on that fight.

[brownpimp88]

I can understand if duran gets ranked higher than pernell. However, i want to hear an arguement as to why benny leonard is better. He cant possess more skills than pea.
