Oh wow! That sucks, I remember when I got his autograph on a picture of him in the ring back when I used to work at Sneaker Stadium in VA Beach in 1998. He was there giving autographs and whatnot.

 

He was good in the ring. RIP Sweet pea

I think Bruce Smith was friendly with him at one time. Both were from the same area I believe

Correct.  Andre Reed mentioned that on Twitter today and about how Sweet Pea was hanging out in the Bills locker room one time with all the guys.  Although I don't watch it anymore I was a big boxing fan growing up in the 90s and have some great memories watching Pernell Whitaker fights with my old man.  R.I.P. Sweet Pea one of the greats from my all time favorite era of being a sports fan

THe last time I saw him fight his trunks were pulled up to his chest and he crouched to about three feet tall and crab-walked the whole fight

Against de la Hoya or Trinidad
