O “Sweet Pea” (Ervilha Doce), como era conhecido, tinha 55 anos. Ele foi campeão olímpico nos Jogos de Los Angeles-1984 e fez parte de uma equipe de boxe dos EUA na competição que reunia também Tyrell Biggs, Evander Holyfield, Mark Breland e Meldrick Taylor. No profissional, somou títulos em quatro categorias (leve, meio-médio-ligeiro, meio-médio e médio-ligeiro).  Lutou profissionalmente de 1984 a 2001 e teve um cartel de 40 vitórias (17 nocautes), quatro derrotas e um empate. Derrotou Roger Mayweather (tio de Floyd), Jorge Luis Ramirez, Jorge Paez, Greg Haugen e Azumah Nelson, sendo que ao bater este último talvez tenha alcançado o maior triunfo de sua carreira.  Ainda fez combates memoráveis contra Oscar De La Hoya e Julio César Chávez, nos quais perdeu para o primeiro deles e empatou com o segundo. Para muitos críticos, venceu ambas as lutas. Foi derrotado também pelo porto-riquenho Felix Trinidad.  Dono de uma guarda praticamente intransponível, Whitaker quase não era atingido em suas lutas.

一日前（７月２１日）→Pernell Whitaker, boxing champion who won at four different weights and was regarded as one of the greatest ever defensive fighters – obituary　Pernell Whitaker, who has died in a road accident aged 55, won world boxing titles at four different weights and was regarded as one of the greatest defensive fighters of all time.　Turning professional following a glittering amateur career which culminated in the Virginia-born southpaw nicknamed “Sweet Pea” striking gold at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Whitaker went on to win titles at every weight from lightweight to light-middle.　Indeed, while he was at his sublime peak Whitaker’s only setbacks were a highly controversial loss to Jose Luis Ramirez at lightweight in March 1988 and an equally questionable draw against Julio Cesar Chavez in September 1993.　A defensive master with near-flawless...


２日前（７月２１日）→Funeral for Pernell "Sweetpea" Whitaker held where he fought in Norfolk＝NORFOL　Mourned far and wide but perhaps no more than right here, Pernell "Sweetpea" Whitaker lay in the center of the very Norfolk arena where he had won so many times years before, this time for a celebration that was as much about where he grew up as it was for the champ himself.　A few thousand people gathered at Scope Arena for an hours-long goodbye that began at 9 a.m. with a viewing followed by a funeral service that included tributes, blessings and a call for the crowd to raise both arms above their heads like Whitaker had so often done when he won a fight.　“The champ is here,” Bishop James E. Jones assured those gathered. “The fight is finally over. … Sweetpea, take your rest.”　From the first declaration that Whitaker was “757’s finest,” eliciting a standing ovation, to the cheers for nearly every mention of Young’s Park, the neighborhood he grew up in, and Booker T. Washington, the high school he attended, Scope swelled with pride for its own.　“He loved this city. He was proud of this city. He was this city,” said Tiara Mizelle, his daughter.　　That’s why, perhaps, the biggest applause Saturday followed the announcement of a city resolution to be heard Tuesday that would rename the Norfolk Boxing and Fitness Center near Harbor Park to honor Whitaker.
