    Not in my opinion because he clearly - clearly - failed to implement them going forwards. Would be very interesting though.

    Yeh, just so you know, I'm, I mean we're, I mean he is, not a Schitzo some times when your tired it feels a bit like drunk and some things make sense that shouldn't.

    The Pep-Saddler rivalry spanned over 3 years. I can't see why this is never taken into account. It's entirely possible that Pep, who had already come back from the plane crash, had lost even more in those following 3 years. The first Saddler-Pep fight is rightfully considered a huge win for Saddler, that it was, as was the rematch for Pep. But there should be some doubts over the relevancy of their third and fourth bouts when it comes to discussing their prime abilities.

    Even a fight like Lewis-Tyson is going to have relevance in deciphering what would have happened in their relative primes. In round one I learned about the Tyson jab for example, later in the fight the draining effect of the Lewis weight.

    Kicking them out isn't really an option, though I agree they should be treated with caution, if not quite doubt.

    Flash Elorde looked upon Saddler and chuckled in disdain for all to see.

    I've actually never watched the Elorde-Saddler series, I think i'll do that now.
