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.
