Willie Pep - would his fans please justify his placement in their top all time lists

I don't think this conversation is going anywhere

 

Why are people continuing to argue with him? he's obviously taking the ****.

 

When did I make the claim that an era with only American talent can compare with today's?? I'm not even certain where you've managed to take this half-assed debate of yours. The simple fact of the matter is this: You started this thread, to question people as to why they felt Pep was a p4p all time great. After having received numerous legitimate answers from multiple authors, you have continued to disagree, yet used no real substance to refute other's claims. You can't even site something as simple as looking up world population, by doing a mere google search. Furthermore, you steadfastly profess that Pep's skills were inferior to fighters of latter eras, as if you followed his entire career up close. Yet when asked if you've seen any footage of him, you simply state " I've seen a few clips. " Given your inability to provide evidence of anything in a discussion, one might question what you know about Calzaghe, Roy Jones, or any of the others that you insist on comparing Pep to.

Tell you what Joe, why don't you just stick to talking about the fighters who you do know something about ( whoever they may be, ) and forget about discussing boxing as it pertains to other eras. You may know somethings about boxing history, but you clearly don't know it in depth-full-stop-

 

I think it may be time to leave China Hand Joe and his thread alone.

Simple. There were many times more men boxing profesionaly. There were far more boxing clubs operating and far more boxing shows more often.
