The original epitome of feminine athletic grace (in my mind). Peggy Fleming is the 1968 Olympic Figure Skating Champion. She won that title in Grenoble, France. That was the only gold medal that the United States won at that particular Olympics. She was nineteen years old at the time. She was known for being both an athletic and graceful ice skater.

Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker gets my vote for best pure boxer ever. Whitaker was known for his outstanding defensive skills and for being a strong counterpuncher. He was not an over-powering hitter on offense but applied a steady attack while, at the same time, being extremely slippery and difficult to hit with a solid blow. If you ever get a chance to see a clip of him in action don't look at the punches ... watch his footwork ... THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN!!!
