    Pernell Whittaker former 4 Weight Class World Boxing Champion is DD!

    Per TMZ sports this morning:

    "Boxing legend Pernell Whitaker was killed Sunday night after he was hit by a car in Virginia Beach, TMZ Sports has learned. He was only 55.
    We're told officials received a call around 10:04 PM in response to an accident at the intersection of Northampton Boulevard and Baker Road.
    When cops arrived, they located the man who had been hit by a vehicle who was in really bad shape -- and our sources tell us that man was Pernell Whitaker.
    Emergency medical personnel at the scene tried to resuscitate Whitaker -- even performing CPR on him -- but unfortunately, Whitaker succumbed to his injuries and died. "

    Whitaker (who's from Virginia) was a BEAST in the ring ... winning world titles at 4 different weights -- lightweight, light welterweight, welterweight and light middleweight.

    Sweet Pea was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2006 -- and is considered by many to be one of the greatest fighters of ALL TIME.
    He fought everyone from Oscar De La Hoya to Julio Cesar Chavez -- and even though he lost to Oscar and Julio was a draw ... many people believe he was ROBBED in both decisions because he clearly won the fights.
    His pro career began in 1984 and spanned all the way through 2001, with an amazing 40-4-1 record including 17 knockouts.
    He also won a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics in L.A.
    From 1993 to 1997 he was considered the #1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Ring Magazine named him the Fight of the Year in 1989.
    Whitaker is survived by his 5 children. RIP

    The area where he was hit isn't a party area of VBch.. No signs of impairment of the driver either..
