I always think of Pep when it comes to recods and over coming adversity!
W 229 (65kos) L 11 (6tko) 1 draw, thats pretty ........incredible!!!
To loose 11 bouts out of 241 is amazing.
Remember Pep was unbeatible as an amatuer and often fought giving away 30 pounds. His first loss as an amatuer was in a grocery store in Waterbury Conn giving 20+ to a young kid out of New York named Walker! At that time Pep was 100-0!
Thats right the Walker Kid later known as Sugar Ray, Pep thought the kid was GREAT! He was right, so was Willie the Wisp!! One of the very very few Master Boxers! Ray.
