"sweet" pea on the streets back in the old days meant "PUNK"..Punk means your the catcher in a gay relationship..like i said it was back in the old days.....don't think that would be a very good nickname....
Got kind of a gay hate deal there Ragu? Why bring it up unless you are insinuating something. The fact was he was a fine boxer and if he was gay I would still be proud to shake his hand and call him champ today.
