    How good was chico

    Dud is one of my all time favorites, and his fight with clottey and the 2nd castlillo fight are both painful to look at, but even still I think his career bst win came against freitas, even tho he came back in the 1st castillo fight, the way he broke down popo was eerily simlar to how cotto got done in by margo but even worse

    Dude could box, but loved to go to war. He fought his ass off every time out and always go up when dropped. RIP.

        Basically like Arturo Gatti, maybe a little more talented and as much heart.

          chico was phenomenal, an OG backstreet brawler. he always needed to improve his defense. but his outside left hook and inside punching game was simply sick. his best weight was 135 and 140. i just think towards the end of his career he didnt apply himself in the gym probably and had too many external life problems that clogged his boxing game.

          RIP Chico.

            The dude was a ferocious frickin warrior man, left hook out of a cannon, just a bit one dimensional.

                Chico

                He was good but not great, he was unstoppable until Mayweather Jr. got a hole of him, after that it was for the most part downhill, he didnt train as hard and lost focus but hes not a HOF candidate I dont think

                  One of the best lightweights and super featherweights of the start of the era. Not amazingly talented, but he was much better then Gatti and was pretty good.
