yeah, dude had over 50 fights under his belt by the time he was 20.

Known as an incredibly quick amd graceful boxer. once won a round without landing a punch. and he told reporters that he would do it and which round he'd do it in.

There was some boxing show on espn classic a few months ago ranking all time great boxers, I think he was top five. Number 1 was sugar ray robinson.

I read something that said pep made sugar ray look like he was wearing cement shoes or words to that effect.
