Navarrete is my top favorite boxer right now.

I know he isn’t a top 5 p4p boxer but every time he fights I enjoy it. He fights hard, always comes to win, is about his business, and is willing to fight anyone.

Would love to see him fight Foster next.

Also looking forward to Carrington or Leo moving up down the road.

I was thinking about this while watching him Saturday night. I've never seen a dude whose mostly been dominant his entire career and faced everyone, yet is hardly spoken about. Is it because of how unimpressive his style of fighting is, yet gets him the W all the time? It blows my mind. Not only is he dominant, he usually KO's his opponent with an offensive minded approach to every fight. Kind of reminds me of Chocholatito in a way. Once he gets moving, it's nonstop and has that wicked uppercut.

Went from FOTY candidate to anti-climax of the year... Navarette was too big and strong. Like many, i thought he had started slipping. Could also be a combination of overestimating Nunez and underestimating Navarette.

Navarrete is like a gunslinger who throws before, in between an exchange and after. Throwing looping punches that are heavy and well timed, difficult to land back considering the reach.

In his top of his game he dominated Dogboe, Pitufo Diaz, Joet Gonzalez, Oscar Valdez and Eduardo Nunez.

And if not at his best, he had hurt or dropped them like Robson Coincecao, Liam Wilson and Charly Suarez.

He’s just one of those guys with a unique style that pass through the sport from time to time. Rarely in a dull fight and he is always world class.
