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

This. A lot of his resume is Mexican plumbers....

He has some great wins, but a lot of filler.

Pacquiao & May have far greater resumes.

Pac and May don't have greater wins than the Chavez who beat Laporte, Ramirez, Mayweather, Rosario, Camacho and Taylor for me. And he was clearly past his prime and still fighting the Delahoyas and Tszyu.

At the time, prime Chavez (before Whitaker) was a beast. Commentators at the time sumarised a fight with him as 'pressure, pressure, pressure'. I remember the Taylor fight. Taylor was the hot shot of the day, and many expected him to beat Chavez. For sure, Taylor out-boxed him by a huge margin for most of the fight, and but for that late close at the end of the 12th, Chavez would have lost that one. But that fight showed why he was such a beast - you could hit him with everything (which Taylor did) and he just didn't stop coming - he basically wore Taylor out with his chin before starting to land the shots to wear him down to face and body too.

By the time he got to Whitaker (a fight he clearly lost imo), he was early 30s and visibly declining (at the time was felt to be just age and mileage, but now we know the drugs/alcohol played a part).

A prime Chavez vs Whitaker or De La Hoya would have been superb fights, but he was 11 years older than De La Hoya, and by then he was pretty much at a good gatekeeper level. Doesn't take away from where he was in his prime years though, which was a force (vs cab drivers or elite).

He always ducked a fight with Duran and that's a fact... Pryor would have mugged him...

Hall of Famer Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. finally retired from the sport in 2005, with a huge fight record of (107-6-2, 86 KOs). Chavez came very close to reaching an unbeaten record of 100-0.

Sad excuse.

Whitaker...Oscar...and Randall used drugs and alcohol too.

I have always liked Sr. but Randall had his number. In the second fight it was evident and Chavez quit on that cut when actually the doctor said that he could had continued.

He was always rumored of parting hard in between fights. After Tyson went to prison Chavez was carrying the sport until ODLH came along

Randell was on Roids in fight 3 when he had none he was stopped

Randall was partying harder than Chavez.

Well Castillo was a rough housed Chavez sparring partner. Goes to show how Sr. took on Taylor, Whitaker, Mayweather in his own style. His power was definitely there. But in all honesty the Buck Smith fight was a very awkward bout to watch. Rigged. I suggest you guys watch it. Just exaggerated contact blows. Plus Buck Smith was caught for taking dives.

Respect! You gotta live your life too.

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

Lol you say black people like a lot know who the *** he is. If you didn't follow boxing, we wouldn't know the difference between him and the elote man.
