Pernell Whitaker vs. Julio Cesar Vasquez (Part Two) 

Haha, yeah Pea was a showman. He didn't just outslick guys, he clowned them too. It's amazing that he would be so relaxed and in such a mental frame of mind to joke around when facing the best fighters in the world. The guy was a different breed of fighter.

I love that behind the back punch that whitaker does!

Sweet Pea's reflexes are second to none. Unfortunately it would have been better if he used his reflexes more for offense than defense although it would be frustrating for any opponent to be punching at air.

Not his best performance, but what do you expect? He's a natural Lightweight facing a big, strong, powerful, feared Junior Middleweight, and he still handily won.

Pernell Whitaker ranked 10th best boxer in the last 80 yrs!

europians arnt dominating yet, its still the americans but they are giving them a run for their money, but i do agree with what you said.

Cada vez que recuerdo ésta pelea me amargo.Si vamos a ponernos serios la pelea fué de Vazquez xq lo buscó todo el tiempo y Whitaker era en esa época el Floyd Mayweather de los 90’ o sea una típica gallina correlona que como facturaba,garpaba su estilo y demás en esa época lo consideraban el mejor libra x libra y claro! Negocio para la mafia.Iban a hacer perder a la gallina de los huevos de oro? no! X eso Vazquez perdió injustamente.

Sweat Pea uses unusual stances and is very creative he is an extremely dynamic, fun fighter.

Julio Cesar Vasquez is the only man Winky Wright admits he truly lost to. Every other loss is a robbery in his opinion.

Man what are you talking about, pernell and leonard had diferent styles, besides that the leonard fights were at welter and for the second fight duran had to drop close to 100 pounds even leonard admits this.. and at lightweight as much as i admire pernell there wont be other fighter like duran at lightweight..

This fight demonstrates how amazing Pernell really was. Vasguez was no joke and Pernell just played with him.

Thanks for putting this up man. I realize JCV was a tough customer, but Pea didn't impress me much here. His punches got zero respect.

Have you ever heard of a fighter name Roberto Duran??? he was is and will be the greatest fighter in the lightweight division.. hands down

Pernell= defensive beauty

you are right but he went to 154 to achive a goal. besides that i think welterweight was good for him..

Watch the last rounds of Oscar/Tito

@DrSamuelLoomis you are generalizing big time. What about JM Marquez, Salvador Sanchez, Miguel Canto, Ricardo Lopez among many other latino fighters that had a high ring IQ?

Vasquez gave a good fight, tough as nails and a hard puncher, but Sweet Pea still had great reflexes on him that out Floyd to shame. I agree Sweet Pea beats Duran, but not Montreal Duran hell no. Thats Whitakers nightmare.

Pernell=kichen

Unfortunately he never had any punching power.

Pea has never been impressive performer and doesnt have the big punch. I dont know what people see in him. I will say that with his style he is a real winner and rarely losses. I surely dont think he lost this fight with Vasquez and embarrassed Chavez. Third best southpaw since 1980.

@budfr you really don´t know anything about boxing do you? Boxing is defense and offense i´ve been a boxer and ill tell you this when some 1 gets tired you need to clinch even if you dont see them tired a little clinch can give them abit of air.
