    The Greatness Of Willie Pep (Willow The Wisp)


    this man was one of the greatest boxers of all time.
    who out of featherweights could live with him at his peak?
    Can anyone name a better fighter of that weight class.
    p4p was he in the top 10. i say yay,
    best ever boxer? could be argued.
    those italians are tough

    Obviously Saddler
    Manny Pac?
    Sanchez?
    Pedroza has the potential to pull a Saddler imo.

        Pac would run him over. 122-126 MP was something else.

          Great fighter but overrated, IMO.

                Well, you just proved my point really.

                I don't think his resume is anywhere near strong enough to be amongst the Top 10 ATG's which he is often listed amongst.

                  as whose resume? not strong enough compared to whom?

                  this compares manny with willie pep. you can compare any boxers.
                  Pep was simply incredible so to say not so at least make an arguement rather then just a one line opinion.

                    I just told you, compared to the fighters he usually listed amongst such as Top 10 ATG's.

                    I don't think he has quality of wins strong enough to be amongst that conversation.
