Against who? Saddler? You should know that defensive fighters usually have trouble with good pressure fighters. I've seen Floyd struggle many times when a fighter pressured him.

Yeah, but have you seen Floyd, Pernell, or James Toney get hit clean with any consistency on the inside by a pressure fighter? Maidana and Castillo gave him rough fights, they bullied him but they weren't hitting him clean. As soon as Saddler got inside on Willie Pep he ate him alive, it was easy work for him. Willie Pep was fast, he could run and dart in and out, good for him. He's not in the same discussion as Locche, Toney, Floyd and Pernell. They could all do that shit too, but they could protect themselves on the inside.

We're any of those fighters in a plane crash that should have ended their careers? That wasn't even a prime pep. I think that maidana landed a ton on Floyd. Maybe pep just didn't have as good of a chin as the other guys.

Saddler did two things to Pep. He made him mad and got him out of his game. And he was so much bigger and stronger that he could manhandle him on the inside. Saddler was very very rough and could damage you in many ways. Watch the saddler v Del Flanagan fight. Flanagan was big and strong and saddler couldn't bully him up close.
Pep, being so much shorter and having so much less reach than Saddler, had to constantly be in and out. That isn't too easy to do against a guy that has every physical advantage and knows every trick in the boxing book, legal and otherwise.
