    1. Saddler is a lot better than you give him credit for. He was a freak physically: Tall, wiry, Very Rangy combined with two fisted firepower, and very physically toughness. One of the best of all time at 126lb.

    2. Pep did not lose to Saddler for those reasons. He lost because he was past his prime. He suffered horrific injuries in a tragic plane crash, and was never the same physically again. Still, Great, albeit you. However, not the same pre plane crash. Pep still had a lot of success against Saddler, beating him on the cards easily in 3 of the 4 fights, with a clear win in the 2nd fight. The 3rd and 4th fights are very controversial endings with Pep suffering injuries from illegal saddler tactics. Is Pacman capable of beating a Prime Sandy Saddler while past his own best? I highly doubt it.
