In boxing, slipping is the art of making an opponent miss punches. No one in the contemporary era of boxing has done it with more panache and pizzas as Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker.
Whitaker is considered one of the best defensive specialist and counter punchers to lace the mitts. He ended his professional career in 2001 with a record of 40-4-1 (17 KO), and having achieved world titles in 4 different weight classes. Five years later Whitaker was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
The highlight video above shows just how bad Sweet Pea could make an opponent look with his stylistic shake, rattle and roll.
