    My last boxing comparison thread was a rather peculiar one (Usyk, Rodriguez) but I'm sure some people can at least see a lot more similarities between Willie Pep and Willie Pastrano. Two fine pure boxing stylists possessing great footwork, lateral movement, and great jab. KO power is non existent but their wiliness more than makes up for that. How would you compare the two in terms of style and skills? What were some differences and was Pastrano close to being as slick as Pep?

    This is a good one, I don’t think Pastrano was as slick as Pep but there style “in spirit” was very similar visually.
