Patrick Duffy Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 Oh wow! That sucks, I remember when I got his autograph on a picture of him in the ring back when I used to work at Sneaker Stadium in VA Beach in 1998. He was there giving autographs and whatnot. He was good in the ring. RIP Sweet pea

Andre Reed mentioned that on Twitter today and about how Sweet Pea was hanging out in the Bills locker room one time with all the guys. Although I don't watch it anymore I was a big boxing fan growing up in the 90s and have some great memories watching Pernell Whitaker fights with my old man. R.I.P. Sweet Pea one of the greats from my all time favorite era of being a sports fan
