    I dont remember if I saw a fight of pep before like you mention. does any body know who he is fighting that time? so I can search for it.

    yeah roy jr. too but he is out of the spot light for now ,so I will go for floyd

    winky was using peak a boo style same as tyson but instead of weaving he blocks it.in this case I go with tyson.but winky uses a type of side shoulder block and some elbow block too.not just blocking with his fore arms and curling/covering the body like most boxers do. if he add some more parry with it and some more combinations on his attacks ,he will not be too boring to watch anymore and may become exciting to watch for some boxing fans.
    very difficult task with the style.your constantly moving without a break

      I do agree that Pep was one of the Greatest boxers of all times, along with Robinson, Armstrong, Ali and Louis.

          I have every bout that was on film of Willie Pep and I never seen it. I met Pep many years ago and he introduced me to his wife, who was a lot younger then he was.

          He will be missed by everyone!

                Yes, I met Pep several times. I have been the President of the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame for 21 years and their Historian for several year more.

                During that time, I met and even introduced many all time Greats as Ali, Frazier, Pep, Saddler, Griffith, Holyfield, etc. Several weeks ago I had to go to the Grand Central Station and for over 3 hours, I had to introduce the Klitschko's, Brock and Ali's daughter.

                When they had the Ring Book Encyclopedia, I fixed over 2000 boxer records, including over 200 World Champions. I use to go through the Newspaper micro-films for years.

                As far as films go, I have ALMOST all of them! My wife keeps telling me, where are you going to put them. I also have several World Championship Belts, including a copy of the John L. Sullivan Belt. I also have old boxing gloves that go back before 1900, Sonny Liston's gloves when he fought my friend Chuck Wepner, Tony Riccio's gloves when he fought Sugar Ray Robinson, I have a speed bag that Marciano used, ticket stubs that go back before 1900, including several world title bouts. I also have a poster of the Dempsey-Tunney bout and I lot more.

                    Hello hhascup,

                    It's great to have a new member such as yourself who clearly loves boxing and has been around the sport for many years.

                    One question, what is Wepner like? He always appeared to me to be a pretty likeable, funny guy.

                      Wepner is the life of any party. He is always making everyone laugh. When I saw him last week at a Ring #8 affair he and his wife came over and talked me and my wife. Frazier, Cooney, Griffith, Antuofermo, LaPorte, Boom Boom Mancini, Norton, Barkley, Bert Sugar, were among those in attendance.

                      At the dinner, Wepner came over and took pictures with everyone and pointed to me and said, here's a guy that does more for the boxers then anyone he knows. He also said that I was one of the most knowledgeable people in all of boxing. He really made me feel pretty good.

                      I also know many boxing judges including Harold Lederman, who also says the same thing.
