SweetPea had shown skill and lots of talent since he was an amateur.
His flowed in the ring like water current movements that seemed sinked but were all really going with the flow of the opponent.

Spot on Pea and you can't leave out Paul tho as a pro he didn't accomplish much but boy was he a treat to watch.
I have never seen any of Whitaker's amateur fights Mick but what people sometimes forget is that even though Whitaker was defensive wizard he also had solid chin i mean he was well past his prime vs Tito and took Tito's best shots for the full 12 rounds.
