Is Willie Pep 'The Greatest'?

Resume wise, Its extremely hard not to call Clay/Ali the greatest. Fought everyone and defiled the odds on allot occasions. But not just as a boxer but he was charismatic, his "trash" talk was comical but could back it up. Intelligent. Thought and fought how no one ever could think possible. He had it all. Speed, Power, Defense, Stamina, Intelligence, Foot work, and Charisma (Charm).

However, H2H, I'd favor Lewis and Holmes beating him.

 

No. Willie Pep was an amazing boxer but his padded resume doesn't match up to his talent.

 

Neither pep nor Ali is the greatest boxer ever

 

all the Italians think he is.

 

It's pretty easy when you have Sugar Ray Robinson in mind.

 

P4P no one touches SRR...I agree.

 

I rank him in the top 10, but his resume is anything but padded.

 

I got no problem with anyone putting SRR at the top, but for me its Langford. In my opinion any fighter who can beat ATG's from lightweight to heavyweight is the epitome of p4p.

 

Floyd '' money '' '' pretty boy '' mayweather JR. is TBE

 

Langford would have destroyed Robinson

Langford would have destroyed Charlie burley who Some say Robinson ducked.

Forget the black murderers row Sam Langford would have been the executioner

 

Sam Langford knocks him out in the first round with the first punch thrown

 

I've got Pep at #7 of all time;

SRR
Langford
Greb
Armstrong
Charles
Duran
Pep

 

Ok padded may have been the wrong term but his opposition, considering he's been in over 200 fights is less than stellar aside from a few good names. I don't blame him for it but it does take away from his legacy in my opinion.

 

I've never seen anyone suggest Pep has a GOAT case.
