jeff was tall 5'7 a boxer that held the wba from 80 to 84. he lost a over the weight bout but avenged it in a title defence. Did not linger after losing the title to Richie Sandoval. would have been nice to have seen a unification fight with Pintor.

Wasn't this the guy nicknamed "joltin" Jeff..

I know his fights with Munoz and he fought the japan fighter twice, can't recall his name at the moment,,

I know he is a hall of famer, but not sure I'm 100% sold on it

Kinda reminds me of a Kosta tsyzu type career where they had a nice run as champ but once they lost to the younger guy ie hatton, Sandoval, they left the sport..

I am curious to see what others think about him and if he is justified for hof induction..

Good Philly fighter who has always been underrated. I always wanted to see a unification with Pintor because their contrasting styles would have made for an interesting fight. Chandler had a good run until he was overwhelmed by the faster Sandoval. He would be a top bantamweight if he were around now.

Do you think he could beat rigo? How would their styles matchup..

Do you think he is hof worthy?

he did get his share of press and people did really want to see a pintor fight,

lupe would try to drain Jeff with a body attack but I think Jeff had the good's to outpoint him.

No way I'd pick Chandler to beat Rigo. His style is too difficult for almost anyone, and he's in a higher weight division.

Chandler was champion for almost 4 years and won a lot of title fights against okay competition. I have no problem with him being in the HOF. He probably benefited (like Mark Johnson) of being an American champion with TV exposure in a smaller division.
