Willie Pep highlight.

Great highlight, don't know about the fruity dance music though.

 

great stuff....Willie was ahead of his time and a true master best lb4lb

 

Will we see his like again?

 

A nice little clip of Pep. Pity we don't have more prime footage to show.

I'm not that impressed with what is available, but most of it is when Willie was on the slide, so that's only to be expected.

I wouldn't be that impressed with Whitaker if all I had to go by was snippets of his fights with Poli Diaz, Wilfredo Rivera, Diosbelys Hurtado, Oscar de la Hoya, Andrei Pestriaev and Felix Trinidad, which is about the equivalent of what we have on film of Willie Pep.

 

True that

 

I dont there there is an enviroment for it anymore, fighting 4 times a month......Willie was amazing

 

his footwork and constant use of different angles is magical :thumbsup

 

I think Pep is the more fluidly mobile ,but Pea was a genuinely great boxer.His defence was nigh on impregnable

 

simply amazing. But I've watched some Nico Locche fights lately, and for me he was more impresive in defensive masterity than Pep. Maybe it's because that higlights don't show the full class of Pep, any other good vids?

 

Another version of the highlight:

Locche was amazing and definitely had the flashier moves of the two but he had very little if any footwork to speak of.

There's not much footage of Pep but there isn't much footage of Locche either. What a shame.

 

great feet and angles....smart as they come...top 3 LB4LB ATG
