RIP Pernell Whitaker

He dodged the first 5 cars and got hit by the sixth. He wasn't a young man anymore you know...

 

Terrible news! R.I.P. Sweet Pea

 

Hit by a car last night...they said that he was dead at the scene....R.I.P.

 

The greatest fighter of the 1990s perhaps?

I would make the case!

 

Between him, Jones and a few others for me but he's definitely up there

 

So would I.
R.I.P great champion.
Shattering news.

 

Great post mate, I am two years younger than Pea so as ya said, its like part of our youth has died.

 

RIP if true.

 

I wrote that before I found out he was hit by a car. I should have deleted it it.

He kicked his own mother out of her house and made her homeless. She had to move in w other family. Karma comes around fast.

 

Yup.
He even called it a "Great Day" when he got the eviction order on his own mother.

Great fighter no doubt, but to buy your mother a home and then sell it to pay off your debts is low.

 

God bless Sweat Pea. Thank you for all your entertaining bouts, Pernell.

 

This is scary as I was nearly hit by a car (actually a jeep) about a month and a half ago. RIP.

I'd say it was a smart move to put the house in his name.

It was always legally his house.

He let her live there for 30 years.

Other siblings were living there to, apparently as adults.

This is the classic case of a guy makes it big from the ghetto, and his family leaches off him.
