Willie Pep - Beautiful Boxing

[@zhihonghuang5203]

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

[@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.

[@yujirogoggins4389]

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

[@IskurBlast]

We are still behind him. We are still figuring him out.

[@doctorbaker5602]

gotta love his triple jab,and the ability to walk a foe into his hooks

[@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

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

[@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!!

One of the most INFLUENTIAL fighters in boxing history you can still see his influence on the sport today looking at these highlights

[@qynboswell6661]

i disagree...all boxers today just mimic Floyd mainly

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

[@JoeG75]

If only I could move like that, Pep was just amazing! thanks again!

[@Seekingtruth-mx3ur]

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

[@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.

[@BullWorld777]

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

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

[@KcDBG]

what a technician....just wow

[@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.

[@felixcintron5078]

That jab is killer

[@logicalnetwork1611]

I love this video .The music is so addictive to listen to.

Willie Pep must surely be the greatest defensive fighter of all time. Fewer boxers even punchers could overcome Peps defence and slick skills.

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.

[@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.' I bet he can do a jig counter-clockwise, going backwards in an ice-rink....
