He's a great champ, I can't forget the Bobby Chacon v Basuka Limon fights.

Great highlight, that was the very first fight I saw live and up close. The historic good ole Sacramento memorial auditorium. Being 16 at the time and being a very long time ago. I remember there was a packed house full of crazed rabid fans drunk and rooting for chacon the whole way. That fight is what made me a crazed boxing fan for years.

Thanks for the memories Chacon.

A big RIP

A very good non-stop action fighter prone 2 cuts but always give 100% ...hung around a couple years 2 long, as many do... he was exactly what a fighter should b, a fighter...rest in peace, Bobby...

Was going to post his fights with Limon and Boza-Edwards, but have seen others have already done so.

Rest in Peace.

R.I.P. "School Boy" ... Truly one of the all time boxing showman.

It seems like yesterday that the L.A. and So Cal boxing scene was "the" boxing scene, but that was in the 70's and 80's.
