Was Julio Cesar Chavez overrated?

[Soko]

Chavez was great but styles make fights.. He would have NEVER EVER beaten Pete Whitaker. Also Shane Mosley in his prime at 135 would have ripped up Chavez

[ghostdancer]

hell no way was he overated

[IwatchBoxing]

Taylor beat Chavez, so much for his undefeated streak.

Like OG said he is both overrated and underrated. Some people think he was god and other's...well not so much.

He never would have beaten Whitaker at any weight or anytime. Whitaker was just too good, but thats not a knock considering I think Duran might be the only guy in history who could beat a prime Whitaker

Chavez is all time top 20.

Pretty Boy Floyd would have beat Chavez at 135, too..

Pretty Boy Floyd would have beat Chavez at 135, too..

If Floyd had trouble with Castillo then Chavez would have ran through him.

[Floydmayweather]

Floyd would give him a good match but chavez was just a freak at 135. Floyds style might give him some trouble. Anywho Chavez is not overated.

[morancito]

Chavez fought the best of the best during his prime. He never ducked anyone. Sweet Pea ducked him until JC was past his prime, both age and weight.

At lightweight he was unstoppable because he was quicker and stronger. Only a prime Duran would have had the strength and ability to beat him, imo. From 1987 - 1992 there was nobody better in the game, period.

Julio Cesar Chavez is not over rated
i dare you to say that.
he is one of the greatest fighters in the history
of boxing

In his day he was unstoppable. He was relentless and never took a step back. Watch the Camacho fight and that is when Hector was the best (or was)

agreed. the camacho fight was great
