Rip champ 😔 you will truly be missed.

One of the most skillful fighters of all time no question about it. Beautiful ring generalship.

someone who can fight and put on a show and not get hit at the same time, that's the best kind of boxer to be i think.

oh my God!! that is beautiful fighting

Pernell wasn't boxing with the fear of being hit. I think he has been teached a very strong basis at the beginning. Add to that his constant ring generalship and simple game plan. An almost perfet boxer when he reached his prime.

Whitaker's defense was so great to the point that it looked choreographed.

Rip Pernell he truly was god gifted 🙏🏻

During this whole olympic event during every fight cosell said the same shit "Whitaker has a tendency to showboat, he might beat himself". Lol

Only man who defense is smoother than Mayweather's.

This was the Golden Age of USA amateur boxing. So glad to relive with these wonderful videos. Thank you Team USA!

RIP Champ!You will be greatly missed.

pernell whitaker is the best south paw ever

My dude Pernell Whitaker. Greatest defense of all time.

Legend , R.I.P

POUND 4 POUND - SWEET PEA is a True #Legend ! He ONLY Really Lost Once in His Illustrious Career when he was post-prime against = Felix "Tito" Trinidad. Whitaker was a Defensive Maestro that had an Amazing JAB! - Stephen Donatelli (Pittsburgh, PA).

quickly becoming one of my favorites

1984 was the most feared team in boxing history, damn shame my father’s trainer fucked him over for the light heavyweight spot.

Thank you for sharing this great video.

THANKS VERY VERY MUCH FOR THE VIDEOS!!! *Pernell Whitaker Is The Best Southpow Of All Time! He Invented "The Sweet Pea Science"!!!

RIP..😔

Rip one of the greatest so sweet he was❤

R.I.P boxing master, pleasure to watch you fighting.

the true story is that before the olympics the newspaper mis-printed his nickname from sweet pete to sweet pea and the nickname stuck lol

R.I.P

Sweetpea made Norfolk proud!!!

Arte in movimento. R.I.P.

Perfect P..

Good guy

Pure Poetry from tha P!

RIP , best fighter ever in my opinion

Classic ! nice to have a classy referee.

Always right infront of his opponent despite his height. What a sharshooter. The guy is one of the most gifted of all time

fucking beautiful

r.i.p

I agree as a professional

R.I.P Champ.

Such a great team the USA had in 1984 - However the reality is most of those gold medals would have been silver if the Cubans hadn't been part of the Soviet boycott..... Pea may have beaten Angel Herrera Vera (but i doubt it) but i can tell you all one thing with absolute certainty there is no way Tyrell Biggs takes home the Super Heavy Gold if Teofilo Stevenson was in town

Покайся с миром!! Легенда ! 2019

G.O.A.T🙏

@dano1b TRUE

pea...sweet pea

Class is class. The last undisputed lightweight champion of the world; until Devon Haney recently.

After watching this fight I don't understand why he didn't have much KOs in his professinal carrer. He showed sharp and hard punches in this performance.

@visitnajr The key is to hit and not get hit.

Sweet Pea

Of you want to see more good boxing look up moonmanwalker

You can hear the sound of punches a mile away from Whitaker lol

Ridiculous talent for a youngster.

even he's not popular like dela hoya or another superstars, he's the best one.
