Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker passed away

Hit by a car while crossing an intersection, according to ESPN. 55 years old. Sad. Random deaths that can come out of nowhere at any time - downright frightening and heartbreaking.

He was one of my favorite boxers as a kid.

One of the finest defensive fighters ever.
RIP.

Well, apparently this was the one time he couldn't avoid being hit.
