    Like Sweet Pea did against Azumah Nelson.
    At one end it's a masterfull display off skill and showmanship but on the other hand it's degrating to a fine boxer like Nelson to be humiliated by such a thing
    What your take on this ???????

    I can't stand it. It's one of the reason that Pernell annoyed me so much. The way he ran around and jumped up on every ring post flexing muscles that were really never used after he got a decision annoyed me too. The fact that usually fans were usually indifferent to these "Look at me! I did it again!" antics convinced me that I was watching not only arrogance but emotional underdevelopment on display. The man wouldn't accept that he was not a crowd-pleasing fighter in many, many fights.

    As a person, I put Pernell alongside Camacho, Jones, and Nunn. Their arrogance was just ...distasteful, and I found them to be extraordinarily immature men.

    In terms of talent and skill, I don't hesitate to mention Pernell in the same breath as Pep.

    Only makes me smile when I see Pernell get stuck in a corner and just slow motion jog out of their all giddy like.

    I don't mind it. :)
