Willie Pep - Best BOXER Of All Time !

Pep was good, but Camacho was even better.

 

............."Rooter??"

PLease tell us the story behind this. What happened, ya get your account deleted or something?

 

Let's just say i am planning ahead of time.

It pays to be ready.

 

:bolt

 

Willie Pep was head and shoulders over Camacho, Whiaker, they were good but Willie fought his 1st 60 fights without a loss and did not lose his 2nd fight until he was 134-1-1......the fighters he beat in his era like Chalky Wright were great fighters

 

Whitaker would have had 60 fights without a loss if he was faced with the same quality of opponents at lightweight.

And Pep sure ain't head and shoulders above Whitaker in terms of boxing skill.

 

I agree, you can't rank Pernell higher than top 15 of all times. If he fought slightly better competition and was tested more against b+ and a- fighters, he would have a case to be better accomplishments wise, he didn't and thats the end all to be all.

 

If Whitaker faced Saddler I'd bet my house on it that he wouldn't be finishing the fight looking like the Elephant Man as Pep did.

 

Whitaker was better at fighting off the backfoot than Pep, which is why he'd have dealt with a Saddler type better.

 

Had a better inside game and was more resilient too, though the fact hat he liked to get down and dirty on the inside might be a disadvantage here with Saddler.

Personally, I think avoiding all inside exchanges and using lots of lateral movement is the best way for a boxer to beat Saddler. Taking Saddler on at his own game is a great hazard.
