Pep isn't in Mayweather's league to be honest. Pep was a quick runner with great reflexes who could control range, but he had a lot of trouble protecting himself on the inside. Saddler got him against the ropes and brutalized him. Floyd has the runner/range controller dimension, but he also had the ability to fight in the pocket and protect himself on the inside and under pressure.

In a nutshell, Pep excelled when he could control where the fight took place, Floyd excels wherever the fight takes place.

To be honest, in terms of defensive ability I don't think Pep is in the same league as Mayweather, Whitaker or Locche. Three guys who could slip punches from any distance, from any angle, and who were never knocked out
