I've heard for years how Willie Pep was the "Will 'o the Wisp" , one of the finest defensive fighters ever. But any footage I've ever seen (about 6 fights), I really wasn't all that impressed with his defense.
I understand he had about 240 fights, so maybe I caught footage from the tail end of his career. How bad did the accident he had alter his style or abilities?
I'm just really interested on your take, because from what I've seen (which admittedly isn't jack), I just didn't see the wizard all the oldtimers fawned upon.
