    two of the sweetest practitioners of the sweet science, the finesse, slickness, speed ability to stand in front of the opponent and not get touched, my favorite style

    who was the better exponent of it? was pep a classic car that has to be respected but pea a better modern make

    not asking who ranks higher, resume or anything else just who executed that beautiful style better

    i was brought up on sweet pea so i'm a little biased, but i think pep was a classic ferrari 275GTB that gets all the respect but sweet pea was a Ferrari 599GTB that took it to whole different level

    Pep is greater of course, but as far as skill I give the nod to Sweet Pea, absolutely incredible in his prime.

    Whitaker looks better on film for me. Quite clearly too. That's not to say that Pep doesn't look great, because he does, and we simply don't have much footage of him in his true prime.

    guglielmo papelo was miles better than sweetpea. he practically invented the style wer talking about and sustained top form throughout his entire career of 242 fights. its stupid to even ask this question

    Impossible to say. They can't be split. The things they did was out of this world, both. Unreal.

    Whitaker has his prime on film, Pep does not. Not a difficult question to answer for the (honest) person who has not seen both in their prime.
