If you wanna see an inside fight, you gotta watch what Guerrero did to Berto or what Ward and Hopkins does. Not every inside game has too look like Chavez Sr.
    I struggle to believe someone can be so dense but this site never fails to surprise me.

    How about Andre Ward-Carl Froch? Ward took it to the inside because he had to I suppose

    I honestly can't believe what I'm reading, to be honest.

      Mayweather is clearly sitting in the pocket against Chavez. Because sometimes Mayweather sit's in the pocket willingly. Believe it or not.
      Did I not say that? I said he's using his elbows, forearms, and gloves to block, then potshotting. He's not shoulder to shoulder with him like in a real inside fight. He's containing Chavez then quick right, then dip out. That's not an inside fight to me.

      Is Chavez the same C Level fighter who took Erik Morales into deep water with 1 arm for half of the fight? And badly hurt him? That same C level fighter who was considered to be one of the best 130 Lbers in the world at the time?
      This is the caliber of fighters Chavez was fighting before he faced Floyd.
      32-32-7, 24-34-3, 10-20-2, 32-33-4, 51-8-2. Mind you, these are his fights leading up to Floyd. Not his beginning stage fights.

      The guy he fought right before Floyd to get the belt, lost by KO in the 6th round to Eduardo Perez 19-13-2, only 2 fights removed from when he fought Chavez.

      Paper fuggin champ.

        That would be an interesting match up. Would love to see that fight. Both fighters are good counter-punchers, Moreno is more offensively oriented and would have to work hard bc the lack of power, while Rigo will use patience to land a crisp counter with the power to Ko.
