Was Willie Pep a running coward?

[b00g13man]

Are you kidding me, did you actually watch this video. Pep has more in common with PAC than Floyd.

Pep used foot movement but he also looked to land combos and throw a multitude of punches. He looked for the knockout in championship fights not just coasted to a points wins.

Lately, Floyd when matched with a tough opponent goes into full clinch mode, did it in the manny fight and the second Maidana fight. He's the Welterweight Wladomir now.

Pep broke his freaking back in a plane crash for crying outloud and still went on to win championships. Floyd was upset about a little cit.

And Pep trainer never told him his was fighting scared.

Floyd doesn't even compare to Pep. period, point, the end.

Wow!!! Just ****ing wow!!!

This now gets my vote for the dumbest thing I've read on these forums, and that's quite a feat.

Cong****!!!

No. He is not a clincher like Mayweather. He's boxing. That's real boxing.

Name all the fights Floyd clinched in

[F l i c k e r]

[BoxingLegend89']

Nailed it. Thats the answer larry is looking for....

Many people also think Floyd is a running coward.

Willie pep had over 230 pro fights and Him moving up in weight to fight Sammy Saddler could easily be compared to if Floyd moved up and fought Golovkin, which he won't do.

He got demolished by Saddler and took the rematch immediately, dude backed down from no one and sure as heck didn't run from fighters in there prime.

Lmao at trying to compare these two in any sort of way.

Guess you forgot Floyd already moved up 24 pounds,pep never moved up that much,try again.and move up?? he was the champion when he fought Saddler

i remember when people used to say hoya lost the trinidad fight because he ran the last 3 rounds. now people do that for 12 rounds and its a boxing masterclass. or they just clinch for 12 straight rounds thats also a boxing masterclass. the only thing thats not a boxing masterclass is knocking people out. thats cave man sh-it.

That might be because De La Hoya literally ran and did nothing in those last few rounds.

How old were you then like 5?

They didn't cut weight the way they do now.

How could you, he had over 230 fights, he Would fight consecutive weeks sometimes.

Saddler was way bigger and way stronger than pep, and after saddler destroyed him, he said said let's do it again and out boxed him.

There's slight similarities between there style at best, but not there careers.
