I never thought too much of Robinson. Never had a real punch, and was too defensive. Used to just cover up like a turtle and absorb punches, which was his downfall. He was a bit of a Jim Braddock in the way he rose to stardom.

This would be embarrassing; Naseem never learnt to box & just relied on power & athleticism.
Willie Pep would take him to school & pick him up in the afternoon again!!!!!

Not so.
He had fairly impressive performances against Tom Johnson, Wilfredo Vazquez, Billy Hardy , Wayne McCullough, Paul Ingle and Vuyani Bungu.
Those fights happened after he fought Robinson and all of said fighters were of a higer class than Robinson.
Maybe you should do a little research if you aren’t old enough to remember the boxers you have put down as the bones to your argument.
Come back when you have and I will accept your apology.
???Why do people bother???

Pep would win every second of every minute of every round against Prince Naz and Saddler would have stretched out Naz for a count of fifty.

Why is Hamed's name even mentioned in the same breath as Willie Pep.

It's the internet. People can say whatever they want.
