    Pep couldn't hurt him, Saddler was too strong in the clinches and too powerful with his punches for Pep.

      Massive size disadvantage and street tactics of SS. People seem to give Saddler a lot of credit for those fights but they're amongst the most overrated wins in boxing.

        Saddler too big and awkward.. And pep couldn't really hurt him or get much respect.. The roughhouse tactics seemed to slow down pep and kinda got him frustrated as to what to do.

          It was SS footwork that bothered Pep he was stalking him to the right ,taking Peps angles away, also wild left hook thrown with no jab or any set up ,takeing Willy by suprise ,Pep was working from ropes Good doe useing his own left hook ,non stop presseur +feinting by moving his hands non stop,in some documentary Pep is giving good break down, unfortunetly i dont remember title ,this fight remaind me better version of Cotto -Margarito

              What do you want me to say? My thoughts were he was too big and awkward.. Pep couldn't hurt him and gain respect, so saddler was able to walk him down, and a lot of saddler's punches weren't your typical textbook punches, some were from awkward angles which bothered pep because he wasn't having much success in timing saddler's shots.

                  Couldn't handle the size, pressure and extremely rough tactics.
