I've seen a couple rankings where Julio Cesar Chavez was barely included in the top ten all time. How does the history section rank him? His resume surely beats today's fighters.

I'm one of his biggest fans and don't think he's top ten. Top 25? Yeah, probably.
He has become somewhat underrated over time because the controversy surrounding a few of his fights has brought many to judge him very harshly. It's now believed "he was easy to outbox" by some bad revisionists because the slickest dude since Willie Pep schooled him....and that's pretty d*mn stupid people now jump to that conclusion.
He was the best fighter in the world for a few years and one of the best for over a decade.

Heh, I love it when people say Chavez struggled against speed. Someone shoulda told him that when he beat down Camacho and Taylor x2

Taylor was able to shut him out because he beat him to the punch every time then moved before he could answer with punches of his own.
