    Top five greatest fighter of all time is where Pep belongs though.
    Hi there Run...

    Eleven losses and 1 draw in 241 outings... That's incredible! Even more incredible if one considers that in at least 2 of those losses, Pep was widely suspected of having taken a dive. Add to that is the fact that in 2 of his losses Sandy Saddler, he was forced to discontinue due to injuries (vision impaired by blood flowing into his eyes ifollowing a series of headbutts n one, and a separated shoulder in another). Saddler was not exactly renowned as the cleanest fighter to ever put on gloves.
