  • How well known is Tony Pep amongs fan?

    His my boxing coach and his a great guy and an amazing teacher/sparring partner as well as a big fan of Hector Camacho and Tommy hearns himself.

    That being said, He doesnt really go in to detail about his own career. I am kind of curios to know how he was perceived during his active days and how do view tony pep in general?

    Also sparring with him, I can say that, dude has an amazing footwork, great lead hand and a very accurate right!

    I saw him in Denmark against Racheed Lawal (RIP) back in the day. Pep was a surprise and gave the homeboy all he could handle. I think Pep lost a close decision.

    Lawal spoke fondly and in admiration about Pep long after the fight. Mentioning him as one of the best if not the best fighter he ever met.

        I was living in Canada then and remember him well. He was enormously tall and held the Canadian feather title. He had a pretty decent career and early in his career looked as if he was oignt to be good. HeI think he laterw on the lightweight title.. fought a few very good fighters, to all of whom he lost, although he held up OK. Had most of his fights in Canada. I remember thinking he might have been related to Willie Pep, but wasn't.

          Whoever he is I know with certainty that he would lose to Pacquiao.

                    If floyd beat him than manny would beat him faster and better.
