Willie Pep better defense than Floyd or Pernell? Bull.

Hell yeah buddy you got it. I didnt even touch on the racial aspect of it. You know a lot of white americans and Europeans alike have been looking for "The Hope" since yall let Blacks and Mexicans get a fair shot. I think he was a decent fighter not super special. Thats how it goes though. White and mediocure = Great. That pattern continues with the Maignaggi"s, Froch's, and Valuev"s.

As if anyone actually rates them.

Pep was one of the smoothest cats I've seen to this day as far as footwork, upperbody movment, counters, and effectively doing this while switching stances.

He layed the blueprint for fighters that came after him, just ask Ali.

Never judge a fighter by a highlight clip.

Nah, gotta disagree. Willie Pep, Jersey Joe, Ezzard Charles....all were smart dudes way ahead of their time in regards to defence and countering. Particuarly Pep.

To bad I dont know how to put up the youtube video. Anyone who believes this is true better be 70 yrs old. I pulled up some Pep clips and started laughing. Now that was real running when Saddle started whoopin that head. I think it is just trendy to put him in the same class with fighters today. Young guys trying to sound like savants and all well rounded and ****. HAHA. At best Pep gets pointed out by Donaire at FW. MAyweather.Pernel. Just stop it.

Can Jerry West jump higher or dribble better than Kobe Bryant?

You've got to be the 1 smoking crack. Willie Pep remains the only fighter ever in the history of boxing to win a round all 3 judges scorecards without throwing a single punch.

No and Kobe would run him out of the gym in his prime.

Why do u always have to put videos up, the only reason you put them up is for attention and you what everyone to say ''great vid man'' etc.

Why don't u make a highlight video of Anthony ''The Man'' Mundine. And most of that Willie Pep footage is not yours.

That is the bull**** stat I keep hearing. If Floyd did something that dumb he would maimed by media. To win a boxing match you have to box. That aint impressive to me it just sounds rediculous.

The "Pep won a round against Graves without throwing a punch" is most likely a myth.

The newspaper articles described that round as an exciting two-way action round.
