And, of course, Willie Pep did win a round without landing a single punch."
    And in which fight did this happen?

    Where are the Fight reports for this specific fight confirming this happned?

      so therefore, his offense isn't great.

        Its effective, the object is to win whether it be by ko or points, he had to work with what ability he had.

            Willie Pep vs. Jackie Graves. It is said to have happened in the third round where Pep just bobbed and weaved for three minutes.

              AMAZING, this all started because Pacquiao isn't a complete fighter.

                that's not what we are talking about here right? we just talking about offense. which he LACKED.


                And no. He drew with Whitaker and lost to Oscar, Trinidad.


                Judges lean toward the aggressor.

                Kthanksbye.

                  I'm going to presume this is a joke.

                  I certainly hope it's a joke.

                    once again. the point of this thread..............................


                    his offense is still subpar.

                    point.

                    end.
