Julio Cesar Vasquez...

[Fox McCloud]

haha, you and me are alike bud. started getting into boxing fairly recently compared to most people and want to learn a ton about the history of it, but have a lot of catching up to do. its a real pain in the ass to find video of certain fighters. thats why I know basically nothing when it comes to boxing before the 1960s, cause I feel like to understand a certain fighter, I have to know all about everyone that was in his division. which gets to be a real pain in the ass...

You are way ahead of me champ.

I'm trying to start from 1990 to present. There is too much that I need to catch up on in the 90s before I dig back into the 80s and further.

You have to respect Vasquez as a Champion. He defended his title i don't know how many times. But i do recall that there were talks of Vasquez v. Norris but that never happened.

Vasquez beat Winky clearly with them knock downs. Credit to Winky he was still in the fight. During the time of this fight Winky had not adapted the Peek-A-Boo Style he is known for now. He was an offensive boxer minded fighter first.

Boundin did get beat by Reid, Reid dominated him in a good fight. I only have partial of this fight on video.

Keith Mulling beat Norris but Norris was past his best already. And Mullings had already been beaten by Raul Marquez. Reid fought Mullings i think defended his title against him as Winky i belive also defended against Mullings. I think Mulings was just a tough top contender he was an in fighter tough type of boxer.

Sweet Pea dominated Vasquez, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Vasquez was Champion for a long time. He was a bruser, with a good chin. I didn't see him fight much, but i recall boxing people respect him as a Champion.

Vasquez back when he was a champion (two first round knockouts).


Vasquez loses to Whitaker.


He is still fighting at over 40 years of age...

Vazquez was one of the better 154 pound champions of the last handful of years. Rugged southpaw with a good chin and punching power in the left hand. He was particularly effective with the straight left hand.

Whitaker just completely outfoxed him on the inside and out boxed from range with the jab. A good win for Whitaker considering Vazquez was a strong, accomplished Light Middleweight champion.

Vazquez had some good wins though.

Wright
Trice (even though he was a bit past it)
Daniels (great comeback)
Davis
Castillejo

Pretty good work from the Argentinian.

I'm definately not trying to start a flame war, but...

I'm kind of shocked that you think Whitaker dominated Vasquez. You are the one who had Ramirez beating Whitaker in their first fight.

I am shocked at the prospect of you thinking Whitaker dominated anyone. His style just seems to be the anti of what you look for in scoring fights.

Whitaker dominated quite a few of his fights when he was in his prime.

He didn't dominate Vazquez though, I rewatched the fight after I saw this thread yesterday.
