Man what a shock. I've been a fan of his for so long now. His defense was one of a kind.

Rip Pernell "Sweetpea" Whitaker.

True P4P King Of The Ring.

Can't think of anyone he waited out or avoided altogether



All respect due

incredibly talented and determined individual. in spite of the style and the "look" he was actually quite the tough guy in there. i know what i'm up to tonight, gonna get the highest quality feed i can find and watch some whitaker fights.

RIP champ
holy guacmole is 55 young. especially when you're a legend and you've earned a life of peace and respect for your accomplishments. one of the best to ever put on boxing gloves, top 3 defensive fighters of all time. **** that's sad.

Pernell was not one of my favorite fighters of that era, but I respected his outstanding defensive skills and all around boxing savvy and he is an all time great. RIP Sweet Pea Whitaker.
