    Sure. Cleaning out a division, and keeping it clean for such a long time is a marvelous achievement. And it wasn't as if Pep was doing it against mugs either. There was plenty of talent in his day that he bested.


    I've seen the Walton fight and the Cam fight, the Cam fight was when he was an old codger. The Walton fight it's hard to make too much from because the tracking on the film is quite slow and doesn't give you a near accurate perception of how Pep was in real time.

    I haven't heard anything about the Chalky Wright films being available but I would love to get my hands on them. Would reassess my opinions of course if I did.

    Regarding Charles and Pep, I don't think its insane to have Pep ahead, but I wouldn't do it as of now myself.

    thats amazing. Peps my favrouite ever boxer.

    I'm pretty sure AlFrancis mentioned to me he had Peps booked signed as Pep did it for his Dad.

    It is hard to see how fast Pep was becuase of the film as you saw. But you see his skills and defence in it. And the Cam fight is when hes old my mistake. Also the 3rd Saddler fight he looks great dont you agree?

    I havent heard about the films being available either its just i happened to come across an article mentioning Pep vs wright was showing on Friday Fight Night and i find it odd many other lesser fights from FFN are available but this isnt :huh

    As for ranking Charles ahead i see how you can but its closer than you make out
