    I've been watching boxing for over 40 years....and I say that Chiquita in his prime was the closest thing to Duran ever.
    Small but fantastic fighter.

    I've only seen his two most famous fights, the first against Carbajal, and the one against the Thai fighter that was also Ring's FOTY.

    In retrospect and reality he wasn't, but during Tyson's prime, Humberto was rated by at least one magazine as being the harder puncher p4p.

    Arguably, he was actually a better boxer than a puncher. Refer to Carbajal 2 and 3 for starters.

    His fight with Samon Sorjatorung and the first fight with Carbajal are two of the best fights in the history of boxing
