Why Pep lost to Sandy ?

[Canelo and GGG]

As is the case for many slick defensive boxers.

I can recall only Whitaker and Floyd from slick fighters who had no problem with this kind of bullys

Floyd adapted quickly, but the fighters that did better against him were pressure fighters.
Whitaker rarely looked bad in his prime, just lazy.
Toney loved aggressive fighters, as well as McCallum, Kalambay and Eubank.

Yea but fighters like Pep could get choped down,Toney had Iron chin and ****** with you,Buchanen was tough but Duran mauled him.i wouldnt say that Eubank is some elusive defens master.

Eubank wasn't an elusive master, but he was hard to hit, mostly in the head and he usually looked good against brawlers and aggressive fighters, but looked awful against any type of mover.

That and used his size advantage as much as humanly possible. He's nothing compared to Pep who is one of the greatest boxers ever.

So didn't Saddler winning have a little more to do with him continually punching Pep in the balls? A shot to the nutsack can certainly slow even the toughest of guys down.

Good points sir SS is ATG on his own

Hell yeah. I became a fan of both Pep and Saddler when ESPN's Ringside did an episode of Bert Sugar's favorite smaller boxers titled Little Big Men which I believe was 147 and below. I still have to watch both career sets and look forward to seeing them, now that I have all my fight DVDs and TV episodes separated and organized.

I'm not sure how much Toney love aggressive fighters because he was outworked quite a few times.
