Willie Pep wins by late (11th or 12th) rounds KO, I believe. How about Willie Pep vs Vasyl Lomachenko at either 126 or 130?
He made himself a very unattractive proposition with a number of poor business decisions but yep, people aren't lining up to fight him for the crap money and negative performances he offers. Except Lomachenko is and he ran a ****ing mile.
What poor business decision? Get out of here with that B.S. You're justifying blatant ducking and it's embarrassing. Frampton will get the **** beat out of him by Rigo and he knew it.
Oh you know he does! But in that particular matchup.. he wouldn't have been on the thread like a fly on ****. The uh... contrast between SRR and Floyd isn't different enough. If you catch my drift. That troll is where he belongs though. Outside looking in Hi Spazcano! Enjoying this poll and the thread there sicko?!
You think he's managed his career well? It's been a farce and his stupidity helped those who weren't up for fighting him sell their case for not doing so. It's not right but that's the way it is. Lomachenko also publicly called him out and all he got was a deafening silence in return.
Now THAT'S a toss up for me right now. I'm going to wait until another 4-5 years before answering who wins that! I do think Vasyl is getting better and better.
And at the end of that mile was Jazza, whom Rigondeaux decided to fight instead of accepting Lomachenko's challenge. Even Rigo's most ardent followers will have a hard time disputing the fact that his professional career to date has fallen short of expectations.
This tells me you have absolutely no idea what youre talking about as you obviously never seen peps fights. His skills were better than 99% of fighters today.
Never, your probably from the older generation of boxing, but like the early days with dempsey, they don't have the technique to compete with the fighters today or the conditioning, i respect pep was one of the best of his time but he wouldn't have been any match for rigo or the best today, alot of the top feathers today are not even real featherweights more like light welter weights back then also
Rigo have not done anything to jorpardize his career, fighters and their fans use that excuses to justify their ducking,it's very convenient. His greatest sin is being a slick Cuban fighter. 500k offer by Lomachenko to Rigo was an insult, so don't even go there. Compare that to what Rigo made against Donaire, you know that's an insult to Rigo.
he wouldn't have beaten floyd I'll tell you that, also i don't think you can compare era's, the fighters today are more skilled, have better training all the advantages, and don't get me wrong i love the throwback fighters check my picture, but even marciano is good example how would he fair against the best cruiserweights today? usyk for example vs marciano who would win? I've got usyk
Ah right, so he can use the 'there's not enough money in that fight' excuse? GTFOH. He could have always asked for a bit more but instead he went for that long awaited big money match up with Jazza Dickens. He didn't want it with Vasyl, it's a simple as that. You can criticise others all you want but when the opportunity was there to fight Loma he kept quiet.
