Willie Pep - Beautiful Boxing

[@phillandon4127]

A man who's instinct and quickness were so legend he has enter the English locution for all time. The saying "Put some pep in your step." is in honor of him.

[@MacStoker]

cool story but its been written since 1912 and came from mid 1800's im guessing he used "PEP" as his moniker for his good movement?

[@GovernorRiffRaff]

MacStoker Guglielmo Papaleo was his full name. Shortened and anglicized would come out something like Willy Pep.

[@MacStoker]

@@GovernorRiffRaff try researching it

[@GovernorRiffRaff]

MacStoker what??

[@laughtermaster89]

What happened is that he is so fast, that he broke the cosmic speed limit, breaking causality and universal laws, causing him to travel backwards through time. That is why "pep in your step" was used before his birth but is still about him.

[@zhihonghuang5203]

One of my favorite fighters of all time. Beautiful to watch.

[@yujirogoggins4389]

this guy was light years ahead of his time. he's even ahead of our time!

Mate, you've got a real talent for matching music to these edits. It's obvious that you're not simply "choosing a cool song". There's a certain artistic merit in your selection. The thought you apply to it is recognised and appreciated.

[@hanzagod]

Glad you like it mate, it is true a lot of thought does go into the soundtrack.

[@extraordinaryactsofglass3743]

Funny, first thing I commented. I normally don't like musical overlays. Great vid

[@GeorgeYoung-uh5by]

I'm from Hartford Conn. Where Wille was from. I saw him walking down the street. He said to me how are you!! And I never met him in my life.Thats the kind of guy he was. A humble man. A regular guy even though he was not

[@michaelcalles1124]

I'm from CT., graduated from Middletown High, where Pep was born. My mother always told me that she and my grandfather used to watch the fights when she was growing up, and I never really saw the appeal. Well I'm an artist (painter in particular), and now I see this and I realize that boxing really can be an art form, just beautiful stuff. Man this guy took it to a whole different level what style and very effective too, really can't believe it!!

Okay after watching these highlights I gotta say hes one of my fav fighters now,slick dude.

[@santiagoz.s.1024]

I just have one word for the amazing Willie Pep: Maestro

[@KcDBG]

what a technician....just wow

[@fmsupremeleo9594]

His use of angles to defend and how he ALWAYS instinctively creates perfect space to keep opponents on the end of his pinpoint shots = Pure physical genius...UNMATCHED!!!!💯😎

[@hillaryilinsky1009]

you nailed it.

[@thefabulous4]

amazing video of one of the greatest! the real old school hi-tech

[@nachodecastro793]

If someone needs to understand what "ring i.q." means, have a look on Pep's footage. Apart from the footwork, the feints, the head movement... One of the best ever, no doubt.

[@BullWorld777]

Watching this puts a smile on my face Thank you for all the work you put into these highlights

Thanks as always, haNZAgod I feel (after watching all of his techniques relating to spacing and timing) - this was the greatest (all around) defensive boxer of all times. I'm not alone. He's oftentimes number one on experts lists. Hell, even Bruce Lee studied this guy's footwork extensively.

I swear they should open up a university called Legendary Boxing University, and teach you the styles of Willie Pep, Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Pernell Whitaker, and Floyd Mayweather.

[@DiegoAlvarez-lf8us]

You see, this is why I have Willie winning the fight on Feb. 31 against The Undertaker. He's one of the best southpaws I've seen this decade.

[@stevens392]

Willie is not southpaw

[@ralphdupas6179]

At Featherweight to Lightweight, I don't see Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Hamed and even Pacquiao beating him.

[@mr.mendez9378]

One of the all time greats. Had a record of something like 221-12.... Very impressive, but Sadler had his number.

[@bobbyfischer604]

The only reason I don't rank Willie ahead of Robinson is because Sugar Ray had those two atomic bombs in each hand.

[@mider-spanman5577]

^Oh blah blah blah! Robinson fought the best in both his era and division, just like Mayweather! It doesn't matter what you say about them, they both are known as two of the greatest boxers of all time, and come up in almost every fight conversation.

Apollo Creed tried to train Rocky Balboa -using this music in his personal gym- in 1982. Paulie was quick to note that Balboa "ain't got no rhythm, you can't train a white guy the same way you do a coloured fighter..." William Pepperoni sure seems to have 'coloured rhythm.'
