First of all I rate Chavez as one of the best ever and a true ATG. But I got thinking, would you class him as one of the luckiest ATG fighters?
Here's what am talking about.
Julio Cesar Chavez orginally lost his unbeaten record in Mexico after just 11 fights when he got DQ'd. But Chavez's manager at the time was also the part of the commission team and had the result overturned to a W.
Rocky Lockridge still claims he should of at least got a draw against Chavez when he lost on Majority Decision in Mexico.
Meldrick Taylor should been allowed to continue. By the time Chavez would of got over to Taylor and try to attack the TWO seconds would have been up. It's ruined Meldrick any way, so don't give me Chavez might of damaged him. Did Richard Steele do this because he was under Don King's payroll.
What if the shoe had been on the other foot and Chavez was leading on the cards with 2 seconds to go, would of Steel stopped Chavez? Not likely.
Chavez was invovled in one of the biggest robbries ever when he was CLEARLY outboxed over 12 one sided rounds by Pernell Whitaker. Whitaker won the fight without much trouble, but yet it was given draw.
Frankie Randall was starting to have his way with Chavez for a second time, but yet the fight was then stopped on a cut, when Randall clearly wanted to continue, and could of.
Miguel Angel Gonzalez also clearly beat Chavez over 12, but yet again they gave the fight a draw.
Now thats alot of luck to have in my opinion. Did Don King & Jose Suliman have referee's, judges, officials on the pay roll? To keep Chavez's record intact?
Julio Cesar Chavez is a ATG, but a very damn lucky one.
