Who would win between Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Willie Pep? Why and Vote! They are very close in weight so it doesn't matter what weight class from 130-140.
My Pov Willie Pep will lose his ass. Willie may pave the road as one of the earliest elusive fighters but Floyd mastered it. Willie does not have enough pop to bother Floyd and that is a bad thing. I think Floyd will track down Willie and punish him to a UD. If Willie stands to trade it will be a ref stoppage.
I pick Floyd - I too consider him the bigger stronger fighter, and think that would be the deciding factor.
Well Pep was beaten in his own era so anyone who calls him unbeatable needs a little help. Also, Floyd is ahead in the poll, so your reading of the ESB population may be a little of.
Well, Floyds considerably naturally larger than Pep was, so thats a disavantage for "The Will of The Wisp" right off the bat.But skill wise, Pep has it all over Floyd.Pep only lost once in his pre championship days and that was a decision to the larger lightweight champ at the time, Sammy Angott.Once in his prime the only guy who had his number was Sandy Saddler another all time great.That was a case of styles making fights because Pep beat several guys who defeated Saddler. We all know about Floyd, and accomplished as he is, he didn't have the shear number of fights against really high quality opponents that Pep did.No fault of Floyd, Pep was in an era with more fighters and less titles.Mayweather is a combination of natural talent, hard work, and skill, Pep was pure skill .Floyds best bet against Pep would be to take him out of his game plan ,ala Saddler, but Floyd is no brawler like Sandy was, and Willie would win a boxing match against anyone.Pep by 15 round decision.
