4:41 - Saddler - "Let me finish this guy with a hook." Pep - "Eat a jab."

Pep and Ray Leonard had sort of the same kind of elusiveness with their mastery of lateral movement. Pep is beautiful to watch. Two of the great feathers no doubt, Pep and Saddler

Saddler was hard as nails. Less being disqualified, he could probably take most welterweights of today. Its a shame that these guys, some of the best P4P ever, aren't included in games like Fight Night. It seems as though people don't remember fighters under welterweight throughout history. Many of these classic fights from lower weight classes are the best you could ask for.

***** He defeated Bartalo3x, Joyce2x, Ortiz, Terranova, Wright4x, Archibald2x, Wilson2x, etc...all before he was nearly killed and greatly injured in a plane crash. I seriously doubt that he fulley recovered.

Manipulating the opponents guard as well, i think that was as much a problem for Pep in these fights as Saddler's long reach and power.

I have book on him. Its called "A biography of Sugar Ray Robinson -Pound for Pound" by Herb Boyd 3 (Helped along by Ray Robinson 2) - Published by Amistad - 2005. Tells you everything - what a book. But more importantly what a Boxer/fighter he was. He was a special to boxing as Bruce Lee is to Kung Fu. He did do things wrong in his private life which he could have done better. But in the ring we might never ever see a boxer fighter that good again.He was that good!

@stevevandien Well actually Pep was far from his best here, he was past his prime and had broken his back in an airplane crash prior to his feud with Sadler. That just goes to show how great Will O The Wisp was, to come back after such a horrific injury and still cement his legacy.

You can't compare Pep to Mayweather you idiot. Pep was a defensive expert who also had a high work rate. Mayweather had zero work rate compared to Pep, resulting in very slow fights.

I'm curious, Ethan: Why can't you compare Mayweather and Pep? Pep WAS a defensive expert, but he got hit more than Floyd.

@nicholastran7863 7 жыл бұрын

In some ways you actually can compare them, Pep and Mayweather were both excellent defensive experts with sharp counterstrikes. However, Pep often relied on his footwork and natural head movement, and also had a very high work rate (there's a reason his 2nd fight with Saddler won fight of the year). In contrast, Mayweather relied heavily on his shoulder guard, and always put his own safety before winning a fight. Have you ever seen a recent Mayweather fight that wasn't incredibly boring?

They should have had Pep lift weights for this return match. To increase his upper body strength. But those trainers back then didn't believe in weight training. Because they felt that it diminished the fighters' agility. Which is not true, but that's how they trained them back in the day.
