He lost to Saddler who lost to Elorde who Manny is considered greater than. If your talking about overall lb for lb. I think Manny beats him in the ring..

No. This isn't who would win in a FANSTASY FIGHT, it's who do you belive is greater.

Is this even up for debate. Willie Pep is one of the 10 Greatest fighters ever.

Willie Pep and it not even close.230-11-1 with 65 knockouts

Pep was a genuis in the ring.

He was 61-0 to begin his career.

He fought for 26 years.

Pac is a great fighter no doubt.

I have Pep top 5 P4P all-time.

Pac is in my top 45.

Who is the greater fighter? Willie Pep and is not even close.

**Evil Abed** · 03-12-2010, 03:03 PM

And yes I've seen as many fights of Pep as I can possibly find.

He was the Da Vinci of boxing.

A master of his craft.

What does this mean though? You cool and all but triangles theories dont mean anything.

We talking about a guy who was once 61-0.

Pep is one of the slickest fighters ever and one of the best defensive fighters ever? How does Pac beat him?

Pac beats Pep at Featherweight?

Pac isnt anywhere near Pep in skills or status.

It is hard to gauge greatness when you compare past fighters with current ones. Past fighters have that mystique that current ones don't have till 15 or so years after they retire. Just mentioning Manny in consideration with Pep shows how great Manny is in his own right. 15 years from now he will have that mystique.
