Ceasar Chavez not in there? What type of list this is?

Ceasar Chavez not in there? What type of list this is?

A man who beats about 50 debutants and then 40 poor journeyman does not belong on such a list that is reserved for greatness, such as TBE Mayweather and Jake Paul. Nash out - His Most Majestic Majesty

Yes, but I could not make a case for him being the best in any given year, and although he got a draw vs Whitaker, everyone knows that Whitaker won that fight wide. Too many people go on about how many wins he had, 89-0 at one point or whatever, but, for example, Hughie Fury could fight 89 debutants and journeyman over the course of the rest of this year and he'd highly likely win every single one of them, even if he crammed them in over 9 months.

To be fair Chavez Sr was already on the downslide with his addictions and activity inside the ring taking a toll on him, in terms of a gas tank having getting winded in the fourth round, and his reflexes having faded significantly compared to when he handled Rosario. It didn't help that he didn't perform that well at welterweight either. Whitaker should get significant credit as Chavez was still a dangerous fighter with his granite chin, punching power and in-fighting IQ, as he dominated Haugen and had fought Camacho a year prior. But against Haugen, his stamina issues was already transparent.

As for activity comparison:

Chavez Sr:

1991:
John Duplessis (36-1)
Tommy Small (23-3)
Lonnie Smith (28-3-1)

1992:
Angel Hernandez (37-0-2)
Frankie Mitchell (29-1)
Hector Camacho (40-1) (Could had been a WBC and WBO unification bout but wasn't to make the fight happen)
Marty Jakubowski (37-0)

1993:
Greg Haugen (32-4) (132,274 spectators attended the event)
Terrence Alli (52-7-1)
Pernell Whitaker (32-1) (Chavez Sr should have lost)
Andy Holligan (21-0)

Whitaker:

1991:
Anthony Jones (26-2-1)
Poli Diaz (32-0)
Jorge Paez (38-3-4)

1992:
Rafael Pineda (28-1)

1993:
Buddy McGirt (59-2-1)
Julio Cesar Chavez Sr (87-0) (Whitaker should had won)

Sweet Pea's resume compared to the three year run is quite more impressive as a whole having a lot of wins over notable fighters, but in 1991-1993 run he faced 3 Champions in total. Holding a win over 2 titlests in total in 1991 and 1993. Paez being a featherweight WBO/IBF champion that surprisingly did pretty well.

Chavez beat 3 (Smith, Camacho, Haugen) out 4 while facing more contenders (Duplessis, Small, Hernandez, Alli, and etc). Agree to disagree but I think JJC had a better streak of wins in 1990-1992. Whitaker probably takes 1993 even though he didn't get the nod.

After Tyson was incarcerated he carried boxing and his PPV's were stacked until ODLH came around.

[QueensburyRules]

- - None of the OP fighters 'ran" boxing, esp Wart, and Deyonce who couldn't attract more than a few knuckledraggers to their grotesque foul fests.

Craw the best of the knuckledragger fanbase, and Heymon ran l'l floydy and he crack daddy, etc.

Turki has been running boxing around it's castrati base always screaming in soprano with no end in sight...
