Pep boxed a total of 1,956 rounds in the 241 bouts during his 26-year career, a considerable number of rounds and bouts even for a fighter of his era. His final record was 229-11-1 with 65 knockouts. Pep, known for his speed, finess and elusiveness, is considered to be one of the best fighters of the 20th century and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990. Pep was voted as the #1 featherweight of the 20th Century by the Associated Press and ranked the #1 featherweight of all-time by the International Boxing Research Organization in 2005.

    Notice when Pep ducks a punch
    he sometimes grabs the opponent by the waist and throws him across the ring.
    And does not get called for it.
    Kind of like Floyd got away with jamming his shoulder in opponents faces
    or grabbing their head after firing a potshot.
    Credit for getting away with that stuff.
