This. Salvador was the best Mexcian fighter ever. Too bad he died too soon.

1. Sanchez, 2. Morales and 3. DLH. I cant stand JCC and MAB.

DLH doesn't belong in that convo. He's American-born and raised. That's like putting Ray Robinson on the list of best African fighters.

Two seconds.

On St. Patrick’s Day 2010, boxing marked the twentieth anniversary of its most famous bar brawl. The 1990 Fight of the Year took place on March 17, a 1984 U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist named Meldrick Taylor entering at 24-0-1 to face a by then three-division champion Julio Cesar Chavez listed at 68-0.

It was a classic in every sense. It was a controversy which endures to now. Behind on points, Chavez roared back in the late rounds and nailed Taylor with a right hand in the closing seconds to send his man to the floor. Taylor beat the count. Referee Richard Steele determined it was not enough, waving his arms at 2:58 of the twelfth and final round to declare Taylor a beaten man.

In rememberance of Chavez’s greatest and most debated victory, the opportunity is seized to look back on the “Lion of Culiacan,” “El Gran Campeon Mexicano,” and ask: how good was Chavez, measured against all-time? [Click Here To Read More]

Cliff needs to edit that article. He wrote Chavez outboxed only to receive a de****able draw. It reads funny and it absolutely was the other way around, Pea sonned JCC that night. Just for clarity, in case some folks don't know the facts. Good article on a great fighter otherwise.

Chavez was better than Whitaker. They faced the same fighters, for example Haugen, Ramirez, and Mayweather. Whitaker lost in his prime vs Ramirez, and even though he outclassed Haugen and Mayweather; he never hurt either and he hugged and ran most of the time. He ran and hugged for half the fight vs Chavez too. Chavez was no hugger. Paez exposed Whitaker !!! And letīs remember that the US media favors Americans. No one in Mexico would have payed a dime to watch a Whitaker fight.

The sentence was fine, and read in context of the full piece makes perfect sense. Thanks otherwise.
