Pernell Whitaker vs. Felix Trinidad in 1994.

I'd go with sweapea.
When I asked Pernell, could i take a photo with him, a few fans told me he'd say no, so i played the ghetto card.
Swea big bruh! We're from the same era! Morris Day and the Time Kool and the gang...i know your dipsey-do!
He smiled as we stood face to face....i swear in a blink of an eye he grabbed & spun me...b4 i knew it we were side by side.

Now i know how he turns his opponents so easily.!

Great story, Pea is the man.

Whitaker's best weight was lightweight but he did build a good legacy at welterweight. I think Tito was better at the weight.

Prime Pea was too quick and tricky for Tito, in my opinion. It wouldn't be easy, as Tito was a beast and had solid boxing skills. Speed and creativity/odd angles would be the deciding factor here, and I see Pea winning the close decision.

On a side note, Pernell lives near me in Chesapeake, Va. I see him often and he is always a good guy and willing to talk, take pictures...etc. I'm not a big Hooters fan, but Pea goes to one on Battlefield Blvd. almost every day because it's close to his house and he can walk home after drinking.

Isn't Whitaker an alcoholic?

[mikeeod]

Pernell has substance abuse issues. He has gotten numerous DUIs, which is why he has to walk everywhere. Fighters are a different breed. It's funny to me when people are shocked when pro fighters get in trouble for fighting, substance abuse, domestic abuse...etc. They have aggressive, impulsive and "thrill seeking" personalities. Pernell is a really good guy, just has some issues (like we all do, just most of us are lucky to not be famous and have those issues looked at under a magnifying glass).

I'm slim...but 6'0 170lbs at that! Spun me like a ear of corn.

Whitaker would of shut him out
