    Would you rank Pep above Saddler at feather, or not?

    No.

    Maybe tied, but not above.

    I have Pep higher than Saddler, but I think there's a very decent case for having Saddler higher.

    This is way off base, and not at all relevant, but do you agree that under modern rules over 12 rounds, Pep would tend to dominate Saddler?

    There is probably more debate as to who was the best HWT, Ali or Louis than there is between Pep & Saddler at FWT.... most agree that its Pep anyway DESPITE losing 3-1, he only lost once pre plane crash, to a LWT in a close fight on points & has something like a 230-11-1 record & fought for about 26 yrs, he deserves his place on the p4p ATG list IMO.
