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.
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.
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.
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!!
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
@@qynboswell6661and Floyd mimicked the shoulder roll of Benton & many other tactics from others. There’s nothing original in boxing simply slight variations & differences.
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!!!!💯😎
Your Chanel is so underrated you deserve way more subscribers, boxing fans such as myself truly enjoy and learn a lot from these videos of these old heros. Thank you so much for your hard work! And please keep it up 👍
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.
@@Xmj6919 robinson studied a lot of boxers before he even fought he'd watch how his opponent would fight and think of how to counter it and thats what he did.
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.
If you know, you know, if younger, CONGRATS, FOR the passion and study, and history of the sweet science, the squared circle, ain't nothing like the pugilist..Haney gonna point Loma, get ur $$$ in NOW!!!
He floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee...Did Ali study Pep? Right hand lead? Left jab. Moving side to side. Pep even rhymed on an interview. "He who hits and runs away, Lives to fight another day..."
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.
^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....
So I guess Whittaker wasn’t the defensive genius that paved the road for that style of fighting. This guy was at least 50 yrs too early in the boxing game.

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?
MacStoker Guglielmo Papaleo was his full name.
Shortened and anglicized would come out something like Willy Pep.
@@GovernorRiffRaff try researching it
MacStoker what??
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.
this guy was light years ahead of his time. he's even ahead of our time!
We are still behind him. We are still figuring him out.
Facts🤣
Nah look at the head movement and footwork of Lomachenko, Floyd Mayweather and other modern fighters
@@yalexander9432 still not better, and pep had also fought 15 rounds back in his day and had about 240 bouts.
@@Boxeo250 not better because its not on a black and white screen. Pep had amazing footwork but its very comparable to Lomachenko.
One of my favorite fighters of all time. Beautiful to watch.
gotta love his triple jab,and the ability to walk a foe into his hooks
One of the greatest boxers of all time P4P! I've got videos of Benny Leonard and Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson coming up soon so stay tuned.
haNZAgod what's the name of the song.
Boogie Belgique - All Over The World
Benny Leonard hell yeah. Thanks haNZA.
could you do joltin jeff chandler and tony canzoneri best hl vids on youtube
Already got both of them mate, just type their names in on my channel and they'll come up.

Glad you like it mate, it is true a lot of thought does go into the soundtrack.
Funny, first thing I commented. I normally don't like musical overlays. Great vid
YEAH I AGREE 100% WITH YOU! Spread your TALENT!🙌
Ikr the music fits Willie perfect
Grand master of the game
One of the best defensive boxers to ever grace the sweet science 🧬

poetry in motion and in the ring

One of the most INFLUENTIAL fighters in boxing history you can still see his influence on the sport today looking at these highlights
i disagree...all boxers today just mimic Floyd mainly
Qyn Boswell Dominick cruz took inspiration from pep. MMA legend.
Loma
@@qynboswell6661and Floyd mimicked the shoulder roll of Benton & many other tactics from others. There’s nothing original in boxing simply slight variations & differences.
I am a big boxing fan. Willie Pep remains one of my favourite boxers of all time. I love this music
If only I could move like that, Pep was just amazing! thanks again!
Okay after watching these highlights I gotta say hes one of my fav fighters now,slick dude.
what a technician....just wow
I just have one word for the amazing Willie Pep: Maestro
amazing video of one of the greatest! the real old school hi-tech
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!!!!💯😎
you nailed it.
That jab is killer
What an amazing athlete.
Watching this puts a smile on my face Thank you for all the work you put into these highlights
I love this video .The music is so addictive to listen to.
Your highlight vids plus these jazzy songs are such a wonderful duo. Someone should make a music playlist with everything you’ve made.
Your Chanel is so underrated you deserve way more subscribers, boxing fans such as myself truly enjoy and learn a lot from these videos of these old heros. Thank you so much for your hard work! And please keep it up 👍
Beautiful movement.
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.
Always great music
I would loved to have seen him live, such a great and slick boxer. thanks again to hanza for this beautiful compilation.
beautiful
Another good one even loved the music selection.
Ask him for the name of the song and he'll tell you.
beautiful video, great work
Willie Pep highlights are a dime a dozen, but man you always take the cake with yours!
The greatest and underrated in boxing and combat sport in general
Any sports man who makes it look easy is a master...
His defense was impregnable as Tyson would say.
Lol trueeee!
Mider-Span Man 😂😂😂
Certainly my favourite
The golden era of boxing 😁. Fantastic!!!
00:16 that seriously reminds me of Mike Tyson… The way Pep threw that punch and immediately followed with a bob and weave… Beautiful…
So classy
Man he was beautiful too watch !!
AWESOME channel
I can see why he was great
greatest defensive fighter ever! top 10 - 5 atg no doubt
Greetings
Hit and not be hit. Pep epitomizes boxing.
The best 126 lbser hands down in history
Footwork still dazzling
... TO THIS DAY
No doubt, Ali studied Pep
Any boxer should study pep
@@ryneagheilim9782 Robinson did this to .
@@Xmj6919 robinson studied a lot of boxers before he even fought he'd watch how his opponent would fight and think of how to counter it and thats what he did.
And Willie Pastrano as well. They used to spar early in Ali's career, when he was still named Cassius Clay
Pep was one of the most exciting to watch ever, along with Ali, Marciano, Ray Robinson, and Jack Dempsey. Top 5 fighters in action and excitement.
my 2nd all time favorite. this man was as smooth as silk. 1:24 was beautiful
His movement is unlike anything else I've ever seen
I like this guy
I can listen to this all day. Does anyone feel the same?
One of the best to ever grace the sweet science 🧬
Good music...keep it up.
My favorite old school boxer
Best 126 lbser in history
Willie Pep must surely be the greatest defensive fighter of all time. Fewer boxers even punchers could overcome Peps defence and slick skills.
The artist
Роскошный технарь!!!
Willie was waaaaayyyy ahead of his time.
The best @126 lbs in history bar none
The original smoove operator , don't sweat the technique !
What a fighter, he has the rhythm of a slick black fighter, whilst still maintaining a high output.
+John Doe not on willy's level. He's nice but no willy pep
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.
did he really???
Better late than never.

The original butterfly that stung like a bee
Fucking amazing
You could go in a time machine and bring him back to our time and hed still be one of the best in the sport today
Fuck yeah!
my eyes hurt from watchin his feet
Pep is top 5 P4P ever. My rankings:
#1 Harry Greb
#2 Ray Robinson
#3 Hank Armstrong
#4 Willie Pep
#5 Carlos Monzon
Mike Whitney that's a pretty good list!
Normally dont like musical overlays. But great video man.
Pep actually holds GUINNESS WORLD RECORD FOR MOST BIYTS W122
I wrote a poem about him.
Man this guy was slick
43/5000
THE GREATEST BOXING FIGHTER OF ALL TIMES.
Does anyone have the link for the counterpunching boxing book (scanned) that was mentioned on one of the Willie Pep video's comment section?
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.
Willie is not southpaw
He floats like a butterfly
and stings like a bee...Did Ali study Pep? Right hand lead? Left jab. Moving side to side.
Pep even rhymed on an interview.
"He who hits and runs away,
Lives to fight another day..."
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.
He made the good ones look bad. Not even a plane crash could keep him down for the count.
@ 2:08 is that legal?
madmedia370 nope
madmedia370 You mean controlling of the opponents hands?
The only reason I don't rank Willie ahead of Robinson is because Sugar Ray had those two atomic bombs in each hand.
^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.
@@mider-spanman5577 they were both great at the different kind of dance they danced to.
SRR is the greatest of all time for a reason
At Featherweight to Lightweight, I don't see Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Hamed and even Pacquiao beating him.
Does anyone know who the black-haired boxer is that Pep's fighting? He appears to be quite good also.
slick
One of the all time greats.
Had a record of something like 221-12....
Very impressive, but Sadler had his number.
Peps name is synonymous with greatness. Thanks and Godspeed.
Ps What's the Soundtrack?
Boogie Belgique - All Over The World
I agree but were you have Spence on p4p If you have him?
Somewhere in the top 10 I guess? Maybe 8? Definitely not top 5.
What I would give to see the amateur match between Willie and Sugar Ray Robinson.
They have an exhibition match on here.
song?
"All Over the World" by Boogie Belgique
Are feather weights feather fisted?
Not quite. Willie pep opponents noted he could bang even though his ko numbers tell a different story.
Sandy Saddler wasn't.
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....
Im thinking who is the best defensive of all time: Willie Pep, Mayweather, Ward, Hopkins, Whitaker.
willie pep
pernell whitaker
floyd mayweather.
monte carlo Saludes Orlando canizales. And Roberto Duran.
🎁 Gifted from God 🔥 🔥 🔥Lord Jesus 👑
Forgive me but...which one is he?
Eh?
So I guess Whittaker wasn’t the defensive genius that paved the road for that style of fighting. This guy was at least 50 yrs too early in the boxing game.
