Yea saw him in an interview someone posted here a while back and he was talking like he was drunk slurring and what not...I figured he was having a good ol time.. But maybe all that partying and fighting has caught up with him ??? Oh well congrats to him for the Hall he deserves it and he certainly has plenty of knowledge to dispense as a trainer... ;)

DIdn't he try to help Zab with his D before the Baldo fight or something? Anyway,CC for the news Dan,Pernell deserves it.
Re: Pernell Whitaker to be inducted in Hall of Fame
yep definitely derserves it
Re: Pernell Whitaker to be inducted in Hall of Fame
My favorite fighter ever (Tito close second), his only true loss was against Tito and we all know by then that his career was over and the drugs had took his toll on him, he still won three rounds in the fight which was impressive.

yep agreed there larry holmes would of been underfeated aswell if he wouldnt of got robbed in 2nd fight with spinks and he should got decision in first fight aswell because spinks didnt do enough to take larry holmes belt from him its shame when great fighters get beat when there not in there prime really guts me :(
Re: Pernell Whitaker to be inducted in Hall of Fame
Seeing as its 'Pea' appreciation day, here's one of his best fights! Enjoy. The pant pulling down, the ref catching a left hook, and hitting when down, what a fight! It ain't like this these days!

Who the Hell is his nephew :headscratch: I think his name is Loyd or something like that ;D
Re: Pernell Whitaker to be inducted in Hall of Fame
Yea I heard he is a up and coming fighter that's undefeated.
But frozensoldid 702 halo said what wever not what ever happened to him, theres a difference.
Re: Pernell Whitaker to be inducted in Hall of Fame
If you want to find out what happened with him, just go to Clark County Jail. You'll have to talk through the glass though.
Re: Pernell Whitaker to be inducted in Hall of Fame
Saw Sweet Pea & spoke with him at the Calvin Brock/Zuri Lawrence fight that I was at a year or so ago.
Although he definently sounded a bit punch drunk during small talk prior to his fighter's shot...when he was in the corner...he was damned well understandable...then again...he was jacked the fwock up pressing his fighter Dorin Spivey during the action.
Pernell definently deserves to be recognized...hands down he was one of the more talented fighters of his time. He's got a hell of a record & the fact that he went 12 & held his own with Oscar & Tito while they were in their primes...that speaks bounds.
