    As a youngster, Whitaker was known to friends and family as "Pete" and when he began to emerge as a top amateur, fans in his hometown of Norfolk used to serenade him with chants of "Sweet Pete." This was misinterpreted by a local sportswriter as "Sweet Pea." When this erroneous report came out in the local newspaper, the new nickname stuck.

    thanks friend !! green k sent !!!

      Whitaker could clown most of Floyd's opponents too. Including Manny, a guy Floyd was hesitant to fight.

      Lets try and keep things 50/50 here Delahoya at 24 would give a 32 year old Mayweather hell as would Trinidad and Vasquez

        Whoever saids broner or leonard are better defensive than mayweather and sweet pea are in denial or just plain ******. Broner is a offensive fighter for one thin and leonard was never defensive except a few fights with hagler and hearns

You pretty much shot yourself in the leg, but that doesn't surprise me cause plenty of people are hateful enough that they can't be unbiased to make a point. Changing the subject, bringing up Nelson, Oscar and Tito made your argument so much weaker considering no one is debating who had the better resume, Pernell Whitaker obviously has the better resume. I actually watched his career set again not too long ago so don't even think you can educate me, it's you who needs to pay attention.
          Lol! Alright dude whatever you say... Not even worth arguing.

            In my opinion Mayweather> Whitaker>> Leonard.

            I have Floyd ahead of Whitaker because I believe his defense is more varied, it allows him more room to adapt when faced with different styles.

            That being said these topics annoy me. It's as clear as the difference between night and day that Floyd and Pernell are in the same ball park in terms of defense, but fools in this thread act as though it is sacrilegious for someone to rate Floyd higher. It's as though the man shouldn't be complimented, the hate runs deep.

              Prime Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon drops in to say hello to silly list.

              Broner can't even fit into the shoes of Calderon, never mind having him within a 100 mile radius of someone like Sweet Pea. Bonehead sucks. Imagine if someone other than Paulie with his washed up, pillow fists were tagging that body. He'd be dead

                Mayweather
                Whitaker
                Leonard
                Broner

                Mayweather versatility shows how advanced his defense is.. Able to layer it with full guard, philly shell, etc.

                  LOL I did see that.. It seems if you give Mayweather props it's against the rules in this place.
