I'm getting confused...What color of trunks Pep wears trought the video?

[pauloafonso100]

Top 5 all time greatests!

total eerie, thanks for a rare gorgeous footage, adagio is totally right there, kuddos from France :) him and pernell whitaker had body movements and footwork like very few :)

[MrByaeger]

Mr. Pep was a pioneer of the bob and weave, bowing, and lungeing in for the counter. made his stature a plus instead of a minus and double tough as all the old cats were. one of the first to really bring a scientific approach to footwork and head movement. would drop his chin below his opponents waistline so even the uppercut was nullified then pop up and rip a cross or hook and dissapear again. never quite got his dues in the mainstream i feel, but every true fan knows him, R.I.P. Champ!

Are you telling me even in the 1940s Italian Americans couldn't avoid awful techno music?

@Existentialexplosion Easy, check the guy who's dancing circles around his opponent, bowing, weaving, avoiding every punch and delivering..;That's Willy.

[dempsey981]

@RMphilmacrac no,not even close.not without diggin around.his record is the best i can recall..by far!

[dempsey981]

@Ruii123 looks like yer right,thats what i wondered as well.he appears much better than ali actually.foot work is special,and upper body movement is crazy good.he counters well,jabs well,very special special fighter here.he looks like arunner and if he was maybe he was criticized.hes brilliant but if you dont match a guy like this well,the fight might not be good.a fighter could be real good if he moves half as well as this guy

[RMphilmacrac]

@johnosandra there was a lightweight i think? who only lost his debut fight then won like the next 108. i think he had some draws but idr.

[johnosandra]

@RMphilmacrac a bloke told me because i once thought chavez had the longest undefeated streak in boxing but its not so

i cant remember the guys name but im pretty sure his first name was charles

it was on a charlie burley video if i remember correctly
