Julio Cesar Chavez was one of the slickest boxers ever.

He used it a lot because he was a great defensive fighter. He was also a great technical boxer.

Like the TS said, he hardly ever got cut, swollen or any marks at all. There's a reason for that.

I took a few weeks out a while ago to watch JC's fights and yeah he was great at getting in punching range, placement of punches, some posters like to class any fighter he takes a step forward at any point in a boxing match as an unskilled brawler but there was plenty of thought put into JC's pressure and inside game.

sr and duran are the best at hitting coming forward and not taking unneccesary shots wouldn't say they were slick but they were great at being defensive while on the attack.

they probably have the hardest style to beat.

Chavez Sr was slick for a pressure fighter, his head movement was incredible and he caught so many shots on the gloves and elbows.

But that's technique not slick. Slick fighters mostly rely solely on being able to fight with hands down moving out the way of punches ie whitaker, roy jones, maritnez that's why when they get older they are more liable to get dropped. Technical fighters usually still have success even when older because they don't rely on reflexes as much

says who?

This simply isn't true, he wasn't a great defensive fighter, his defence at times was good but certainly not great, at times his defence was bad, Mayweather, Taylor, Lockridge, Whitaker and Laporte all found him very easily, even crappy fighters were hitting him aswell, Jacubumski was landing flush.

He was as slick as you can be chasing fighters down

No he really wasn't there are many fighters who were far slicker moving forward, Duran was levels above him in that regard.

he did have very underrated defense, but one of the slickest fighters ever? thats a bit of an exaggeration to say the least.

[Kagami Taiga]

he was a great pressure fighter with a lot of nuances to his game that u dont seem today. he could handle most fighters' offense very well. no was he a great defensive boxer? no. but that wasnt his game.
