    Jack Britton, best Welterweight pure boxer, had 344 bouts and kod but 28 opponents.
    So great a boxer was he that he went about 330 bouts without ever being stopped.
    Astounding...

    I wouldn't exactly refer to Pep as being feather fisted. He broke Bartolo's jaw with a single punch, scored a pretty respectable 61 KO's during his career, and scored kd's in many of the fights that went the distance. He didn't hit like Saddler at featherweight...but who freaking did?
