Professional career
Willie Pep is the Saddler's most well-known four-bout story. However, he had 93 fights before coming up against Pep.
Despite losing his pro-debut and losing his second fight, Saddler turned Pro at Bantamweight & broke his second fight, he fought ten times at Bantamweight & broke a record of 85-6-2 before facing Willie Pep, a Saddler record that included a loss to Phil Terranova & a Draw with Jimmy Carter.
On October 29, 1948, the two teams clashed for the first time. Pep was the reigning featherweight champion of the world, and he entered the fight with a record of 134-1-1 (43 KO). Saddler was the underdog and won the championship by knocking Pep down four times en route to a four-round knockout win. This was only the second time Pep was defeated, Sammy Angott defeated him in 1943, and the first time he was ever suspended in 137 bouts.
Pep recovered the crown on February 11, 1949, defeating Saddler in 15 rounds. In the eight round, the Saddler restored the throne on September 8, 1950, with a TKO. After dislocating his arm, Pep resigned. On September 26, 1951, the two returned to combat for the final time. Saddler won in one of the worst championship matches ever fought, even though the fight was stopped in the tenth round.
Throughout his career, Saddler defeated several other well-known opponents. Joe Brown, the future lightweight champion, as well as lightweight champions Lauro Salas and Paddy DeMarco, were knocked out. Saddler defeated lightweight champion Jimmy Carter, knocked out future junior lightweight champion Gabriel "Flash" Elorde and lost to Larry Boardman.
