    How do you see him doing against the following?

    Marco Antonio Barrera

    Prince Naseem Hamed

    Manny Pacquaio

    Eric Morales

    Barrera could possibly time him and beat him, but I would pick Pep.

    Pep would come of the canvas to win a hard one.

    This one would be a clear points win for Pep in my view.

    Pep on points.

    He beats all of them failry easily, with morales being the hardest of the fights, hamed has a minor chance if he can hit him with a monster punch.

    I think pacman is to small to give pep trouble, as he was far to elusive, i think a larger boxer puncher like morales gives him the hardest fight as could stand back and make pep come in. In regards to mab i don't see what he brings to the table to beat pep, and in regards to hamed he hits alot harder than any of the other guys so if he can catch pretty much any fw with his best shot they are in trouble.

    No disprespect to Pac who I really, really rate - it's a style thing as I see it. You have to play smallball or roughouse to beat Pep in my opinion and I don't think Pac excells in either of these areas.

    I give peak Barrera a good chance, but yes, yo make a good point, Marquez too has a real chance.

    IMO Pep takes them all with Pac and Naseem having the punchers chance, but that is an extremely hard feet to pull off against Pep, who is arguably the best defencive fighter of all time.

    Dont you think that willie pep is kinda being overrated, i mean his resume isnt as GREAT as people make it out to be. His record against contenders is 21-7-1. I really dont think he should get the automatic lock as the greatest featherweight of all times. I believe he has a losing record against hall of famers.

    I can't see any of the above fighters giving Pep any trouble - Morales and Barrera are possibly the best bets though, but I can't see either of them getting to Pep.

    I think pep takes all 4 fights on pts.

    morales & barrera would be the hardest fights as they have the best all round skill-set & can mix from brawling to boxing at will in their prime.

    morales with that height & reach would give most trouble but I just dont see prime pep getting hit enough to lose at fwt.

    I also think pep beats nelson, sanchez & arguello with arguello having the punchers chance but just not the speed to catch prime pep often enough.

    Pep wasn't that powerful it'd take him longer than a round to finish off these fighters

    Sanchez beat danny lopez, wilfredo gomez and a young nelson. That has to be up there with pep's resume, which is manuel ortiz, 1/4 against saddler and chalky wright.
