15/126, who wins?

Pep- points.

Eusebio Pedroza. Better technician. More complete than the great Willie Pep. It's Sandy Saddler all over again!

pre-crash Pep loses to no one.

I can see Vicente Saldivar, Salvador Sanchez, Alexis Arguello and Eusebio Pedroza beating Willie Pep.

Arguello was susceptible to movement. Pep would box his ears off.

One shot by The Explosive Thin Man and it's over. Willie Pep ain't getting up.

Well, in 1977, Pep did say of Arguello "I'm glad he wasn't around in my day", but I like to think he was being humble. LOL

I'd favor Pep to outbox Pedroza and Arguello comfortably. He'd probably beat Arguello by a near shutout, he's all wrong for Arguello.

Pep by decision, something like 10-5 in a foul-filled match. As Elmo always says, “Different class”

If you run up the kinda record Pep did, you have to be able to box. I don't care who you're fighting. A guy that can't fight can't put up numbers like that. Even when he was old and past his prime he still won the majority of his fights. Prior to the plane crash in 1947 his record was 134–1–1.

After the plane crash his record was 95-10.

95-10 is an All Time great kinda record all by itself, and that's AFTER his near career ending injury.
