I HATE Julio Chavez

[Steak]

Im always surprised that people underrate Chavez's combination punching ability. He wasnt very fast(in fact, in terms of physical gifts he was unremarkable other than his iron head), but his combos were so accurate and cleverly placed. these werent just flurries, they were planned, accurate punches that found their way through a fighter's defense. The combos he landed on Terrance Ali were simply shocking, like when he would quintuple his left hand and land every punch. nasty.

I dont know anything about Chavez as a person....hes probably a jackass...but as a fighter, he is one of my favorites, and one of the most skilled Ive ever seen.

btw, I dislike how people get physical gifts and skill mixed up. Theye totally different things.

Exactly right, your whole post was on point. But, I especially like the bold. I been saying that for awhile now. I don't get why the majority does that. Green K sir.

Punching power isn't a gift??

Many people think that looking flashy in the ring with hand speed and footwork makes you better than the other fighter (like Chavez). Chavez's skill are really underrated and I just wish more people would appreciate him. No longer than last night, one of my friends told me that Chavez is so overrrated, has only fought taxi cab drivers.

I didn't bring up Oscar, the TS did lol. Crying that JCC didn't support Oscar and that is why Oscar is not like by Mexican. And, that is the reason the TS doesn't have respect for JCC. So the thread does have to do with Oscar a little bit. Plus every time somebody mentions Oscar. I will give my opinion, FTP.

FTP!

If you were born in Mexico then yes you are a Mexican.....but still a Latino. But if you were born in the United States like I, you are an American regardless if your parents were born in Mexico.

So GTFOH with that bull****, we are Latinos, Hispanics. Me, I am a Hispanic American of Mexican descent.

A chingar tu madre pendejo, soy hecho y nacido en Mexico. I'm a real Mexican not a fuc.king "Pocho". Y hablo por Mexico porque soy parte de el pendejo, sangre azteca (de la verdadera, de la Mexica/Azteca) corre por mis venas, so get the f.uck out of here with that Hispanic s.hit.

You got Argentina not Mexico for the World Cup? Or is Messi your favorite player?

JCC is a piece of **** person, but in his prime he was an awesome force in boxing. He deserves respect for how great he was in his prime.

That pretty much sums it up perfectly.

Better jab, faster handspeed, same iron chins in their primes, Oscar had slightly better footwork and blocked a hell of a lot of punches(without using his face), so I would say Oscar had the better defense as well.

Oscars defence is underrated. But he fought at range compared to the much more pressuring style of Chavez.
I think Chavez had very good reflexes and slipped punches brilliantly for such an offensively minded fighter.
Oscar always looked stiff and robotic in comparison, but didnt get hit much.

I dont think there is much to separate their defences.

Id also say Chavez was the better two fisted fighter. Oscar would flurry, but his right was never that great.

What do you expect when the entire entertainment industry sells people on the myth that only black people know how to sing,dance, fight, and are always the beter Athletes because they always "look" the coolest.


That point of view is just as skewed as the myth that 50 years ago that black athletes were to dumb to play against white athletes.

That myth about black athletes was bul**** then just like it's bull**** now.
