  1. Gone way too soon. You'll be remembered by us boxing fans forever for your amazing style and wizard style defense. Rest In Peace Sweet Pea, Pernell Whitaker.

  2. Are the amateur fights like a lot softer or something? 3 rounds or what? 500 fights!? Why?

  3. Man, I remember being excited to watch his defense. The way he would duck punches was amazing

  4. Hey joseph vincent love this pernell whitaker documentary. But that thumbnail is a horrible!!! artificial intelligence picture of pernell whitaker. Does not look anything like pernell. Disrespectful to pernell

  5. I don't mean to be morbid or disrespectful, but it's one of lifes ironies that a man who was such a master of evading punishment in the ring, had his life cut short after being hit by a car. Hope he's at peace whereever he is. Left behind some of the greatest defensive highlights any fight fan could hope for.

  6. Whitaker and Mayweather had one thing in common that made them almost identical in talent. They both had a sense of timing that was off the charts!!!

  7. I love Chavez, one of my top 5 favorite boxers of all time, but I’m sure sweet pea one that first one. There… I said it… Chavez is still the goat though

  8. How is this man not talked about more lol this like flyod with super power 😂
