Comments Thread For: Chavez Sr: If No Drugs or Alcohol - I Might Have Reached 100-0!

The fact that he fought a lot of cab drivers doesn't hide the fact that his record is also full of Laporte, Lockridge, Mayweather and Ramirez in his prime, Taylor, Whitaker just past it and then Oscar, Tszyu and other young bucks when on the downhill.

Absolutely. The marquis fights he had totally outshines the fluff in his resume. That's why he's a legend. The total number of wins is much less of a contribution to his standing as an ATG.

Not if he would've fought Camacho in the 80s in his prime and sweet pea got the decision he deserved.

JCC is a legend but no man is unbeatable and he always struggled with speed, movement coupled with durability.

He doesn't even cross my mind when talking about the best to lace 'em up. Good fighter but was definitely overated.

He is a bit overrated all time. He beat quality fighters but he could've lost to Laporte, Taylor, even lockridge.

He was never P4P the best like they tried to make him out to be. Sweet pea was the best of that era and in the mid to late 80s, Camacho would've gave him fits.

IMO I rate Ricardo Lopez, Manuel Ortiz, ruben olivarez should be higher on all time greatest Mexican fighters list and JMM, Morales and Barrera not too far behind. JMM arguably should be higher considering he won titles @ 126 and beat PAC who is considered greater than JCC

He was abit past it when he fought Whitaker I thought. Camacho in his prime vs Chavez would've been something. People forget how good pre Rosario Hector was. There was something about the Chavez who fought Rosario thought, I think he could've beaten anyone that night.Flawless.

Overrated fighter

[DinoCop]

he lost to all of them, he also lost to Meldrick Taylor.

? Are you serious, how come you say he lost to Meldrick Taylor? When you get kd'd you in 10 secs need to get up, put your knuckles up, and answer the referee, if you don't it is a KO. It doesn't matter how much left to the end, it is a KO. The referee has to call it a KO, he has no choice bcz it's plain and simple, the most basic rule in boxing even the babies know. The ref could rob Chavez by letting the fight go and no one w'd critisize him but he knew he'd be critisized and decided to do the right thing.

Some idiots here talk bad about Chavez, let me tell you, Chavez was great.

He destroyed guys who were supposed to be great, yet some *******s here who talk out of hate more than out of knowledge, keep talking **** all of the time about him.

Sweet pea wasn't in his prime either IMO he simply is a better fighter and would've won either way

Even post Rosario, Camacho before the 90s was arguably top 5 p4p n a more complete fighter than his early 80s buzzsaw style


Agreed JCC was an animal vs Rosario he wasn't gonna be denied

Respect! You gotta live your life too.

Serious Question, why do black people hate Chavez sr so much? it always a wonderment of mines.

Because Chavez beat up a lot slick bruvvas, that's why.

And he got beat by the slickest bruvva, Whitaker and still escaped with a draw.

Ya by fighting cab drivers lol, people talk **** about when Pacquaio fought Algeri and Vargas but those are world champs, even when Mayweather fought two time world champ Berto there was huge backlash, but this guy fought cab drivers for 90% of his career

Even if you took out all the cab drivers and club fighters, Chavez would still have a great record against top level opposition, he just wouldn't be close to having 100 wins.

Chavez just loved fighting in front of the live Mexican crowd, even if they were just gimme fights against no hopers to stay active in between his big fights. He was a throwback fighter to the old days.
