Its not bogus. I am stating a fact 70-80% of chavez career was cans not even wbc ranked top fighters during his run 48-0. After 48. He fought 11 legit opponents and drew a few and lost to the rest and only beat Taylor, huegan thats it. Chavez didn't win a belt until 44-0. Up until Taylor, all cans. After Taylor then Greg Haugen. Drew with pernell ( elite) After that lost to a crackhead Frankie ( cherry pick and got robbed in the rematch), lost to dela Hoya, sprinkle in a few more bum wins and then add in the rest of his loses. Thats his career. Larry holms looked unbeatable against ranked opponents then came back at an older age and still pulled off an great upset.
I get it. I understand. I just smell bias. Alot of people have built-in bias due being aw struck, marketing and cultural bias.
Chavez's First 48 fights were low level Mexican smokers against Tijuana taxies drivers.
I'm not even saying that Chavez's first fights were tougher or better than Holmes. Holmes may have had the rougher ride.
I really don't know what either faced in their first 48 fights. But I am certain that a Black kid from Easton Pennsylvania had a very different experience than a Mexican kid from Tijuana Mexico.
Comparing their first fights is apples and oranges. And that only applies if can get a handle on what those fights actually represent to begin with.
Please don't tell me about their resumé again. I really don't care who is higher on the list.
I just don't like bad analogies.

I give you that. Chavez is popular. In a popularity contest him , Manny, sugar ray leonard and Ali will always be high on any boxing list. Definitely for the casuals. I get it.Comment

You are still arguing about Chavez's place in the P4P tier. I don't care about that.

I swear boxing fans have a sick fet1sh with race and nationality. I never once mentioned color or being Mexican is an issue. I am part Mexican and also part African. I don't get how this had anything to do with raking a person's career in the ring.
I dont get it but I get it. Race is always on the tip of peoples mouth.

why does race or nationality have to do with anything. Is that what's going on ? Let me know. Then this all makes sense.

If you think Tijuana and Pennsylvania had similar boxing experiences you're dim.
But I don't think you're dim, I think you're disingenuous.

I dont think you are even Hispanic. I just think you are a white American honestly. The way you brought up race / nationality out of no where makes me assume you are a white American maybe 40-50 years of age.Last edited by MalevolentBite; 06-11-2025, 05:59 AM.Comment
