Vincent Pettway (born November 9, 1965 Baltimore, MD) is a former professional boxer who competed in the welterweight and super welterweight divisions.^[6]

Pettway started his pro career in 1984 with a third round knockout over Ali Saad Muhammad in Atlantic City.

He fought more than 25 times in and around Baltimore throughout his career.

Pettway won the USBA junior middleweight title in February 1992 with a 12-round split decision over Gilbert Baptist.

In 1994, Pettway made his first bid at a world title, challenging IBF junior middleweight champ Gianfranco Rosi.

However, Pettway got involved in a foulfest and the bout was ruled a technical draw after six rounds.

Later that year, he got a second shot at Rosi and won the International Boxing Federation junior middlweight world title via a fourth round knockout.

In 1995, Pettway defended against Simon Brown. In perhaps his best known performance, he devastatingly knocked Brown out in round six. After Brown was dropped with a perfect hook, Brown continued to throw punches in a concussed state.

Pettway lost the title in the next defense against Paul Vaden via twelfth round technical knockout. In 1996 he took on Terry Norris for the WBC and IBF light middleweight world titles, but was tko'd in the 8th. He fought until 2001 but never fought for another title. He was promoted by Don King Productions throughout his career.
