    I promise you reading comprehension isn't that hard of a skill to learn.

    I said Pep looked for the KO is championship fights obviously due to his lack of power and toughness of his opponent it didn't always happen.

    Now be honest your knowledge of Pep doesn't go far beyond Boxrec, myths, and highlight videos.

    I've watched all the Pep fights readily available as the guy looked to knock you out if you threaten his reign.

    Now go boxrec Jake Lamotta and tell me what his KO% was and then try to convince yourself the The Raging Bull was a guy who didn't look for Knockouts.

      It's funny. People would rather stick their neck out and look like idiots by discussing a topic they know nothing about than to agree with an argument in favor of Floyd.
      Great observation. Happens all the time on NSB.

        Was he a runner like Floyd? If so, he's a coward.

        Rule of thumb. He who runs away, lives to be a coward today.

          Maybe that's because I've actually watched Willie Pep's fights and actually know about his career.

            Clearly you have done no such thing.

              I watch pep fights on a regular basis,he is one of my all time favorite fighters,Floyd in his lighter weights did press for ko's.Pep also never moved up 24 pounds in weight as Mayweather has

                    If that's the case, then I'm sure you wouldn't have any issue pointing out a fight that would resemble this one.
