    When I read about it on Twitter, I actually yelled out, "NO!".

    Whitaker's defensive ability was legendary, but he could plant his feet and punch when he wanted or needed to. Wonderful fighter who earned his spot on the lightweight division's Mt. Rushmore.

    RIP, Sweet Pea.

    The best pure boxer of all up there with Floyd, Sugar Ray Robinson, Charley Burley and Muhammed Ali.
