Description

Among the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time, Willie Pep (1922-2006) was a virtuoso of the squared circle.

A two-time World Featherweight Champion, his International Boxing Hall of Fame professional record stands at 230 wins, 11 losses and one draw, with 65 knockouts and two winning streaks of more than 62 victories—each longer than most modern fighters' careers.

During his 26 years in the ring, he appeared on cards with everyone from Fritzie Zivic to Joe Frazier.

A scientific boxer with balletic defensive skills and a stiff jab, Pep—known as "Will o' the Wisp"—so masterfully evaded his opponents, one remarked it was like battling a man in a room full of mirrors.

This book covers his remarkable career, with highlights of each bout.
