Uhh, once upon a time, let's see if I remember
Back in January, nah, chill.....it was December
True...cuz that's when L started his bid
Partied through the New Year, January third he slid
Up until then, yo, L had it swell
Called him Sweet Pea like his name was Pernell

my shyt right here

RIP Pernell...incredibly sad news. Shocked the hell out of me. What a incredible talent and he always had personality...loved to brag about those defensive skills. 55 though..damn.

DAMN DAMN DAMN...

Not SweetPea. Mayne I remember my introduction to being a boxing fan was my cousin, down in FL and I watching Boxing After Dark and Pernell Whitaker and Roy Jones were the our dudes. This is crazy.

All Time Great. Maybe No 1 defense all time too. RIP to a LEGEND
