Willie Pep and Sandy Saddler were famous for their fights against each other back in the day. Some tough fighters..

[Finny]

Pep is considered one of the revolutionary boxers - his elusiveness and footwork changed the game completely

[Waterway]

Sorry only just noticed this. Wilie Pep is on many experts Top Ten P4P of all time. Once went a whole round without getting hit...amazing guy.

[Fingolfin]

A lot of Pep on youtube, v. Saddler, etc. Saddler was highly skilled, and reknowned for his repetoire of dirty tricks.

Some CMC taiji people in NY always taught me about Wille Pep a few years ago, I had never heard of him until then. The guy had a whole lot of fights even after a plane crash.

His movement and footwoork (starting at about 3:45 in the vid) is awesome. I really like how he's spinning boxers in the ring. Obviously, he was very adept at using his opponents movement against him.

Amazing fighter, thanks for posting that Juan.

Willie defined his style as "he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day" i guess that explains his 'hit and run' tactics

[nianfong]

he turned you on, juan? good thing you're getting off the taichi now. I think it's getting to you.

[nianfong]

very cool.... look how much thicker his legs are compared to the other guys in the ring with him.

Willie's ranked #4 in this best defensive boxers clip:

I think the 'untouchable' should be #1 though. It's just insane.
