While my first thought was Locche, Pep certainly has an argument.

The infamous tall tale about Pep winning a round without throwing a single punch and just using defense.

[Zaroku]

Prime Pernell was ridiculous.

He had JCC confused and detected. Pernell was like a cat.

The infamous tall tale about Pep winning a round without throwing a single punch and just using defense.

Another myth made by Bert Sugar.

[GhostofDempsey]

I'd have to go with Pep at the top. Whitaker, Benitez, Benny Leonard, Maxie Rosenbloom, Duran, all make the list too. Dempsey and Tunney were two of the best HWs defensively. Highly underrated defense. In fact, watch footage of Dempsey's defense and you will see parallels to Whitaker.

[The Old LefHook]

Apparently Mike Gibbons conquers all in this category. They called him "the ghost," and are said to have meant it.

Yes, he swore by it and someone had to dig up an old newspaper report that disputed Bert's story

Yep., Sugar was a cigar chomping befuddled old fantasist

Miss the old bastard though
