Rosario is probably JCC's best win. I also like the fact that in the span of 1987-88, Chavez had like, iirc, 9-10 fights, which included tough...
JC Chavez vs Ruben Castillo is one of my absolute favorite JCC fights. I like how at just 22, Chavez already had that pressure-fighter...
In the Trinidad-DLH-Mosley era, BOTH Pacman and Floyd wouldn't have moved past 140. Manny probably stays at the 126-130 range, 135 at the most....
I'd also favor Taylor. He took Chavez's best shots (lead rights, counters, digs to the body) and was never fazed in throwing back. And he threw a...
Except for DLH having a relatively rough time with JL Castillo at lightweight (though no doubt he'd still get a clear decision) both Oscar and...
The underlying analogy here is that if Floyd could take Tito's punches (and many of us doubt he could---at least to the extent that a dominating...
The more I think about, how well Floyd does above lightweight and against the absolute best fighters at the higher weights essentially boils down...
This is reasonable. It's easy to generalize how Floyd would win simply by saying he's the better fighter (and he is). De La Hoya outboxed...
Juan La Porte lost to... Salvador Sanchez Eusebio Pedroza Ruben Castillo Wilfredo Gomez Julio Cesar Chavez Azumah Nelson Kostya Tszyu ...but...
This is fair. On second thought, while Floyd might have the capacity to hurt MAB enough to put him on his ass or stop him via accumulation, he...
Obviously, DLH is in a different league compared to Jose Luis Castillo. But we're talking about Oscar at 135 here, who, I think was still finding...
I love MAB, but he'd get outclassed. Marquez would probably do better, though he'd lose too. Aside from the speed, Floyd had pretty good pop at...
Up to the Phillip N'dou fight, I was big a fan as any of Floyd Mayweather Jr. Prior to that, the immediate rematch he had with JL Castillo after a...
I'd probably still pick Benitez even if he wasn't in the best fighting shape. The difference in class is tremendous.
If this fight actually ever came off, i've a feeling most everyone would still pick Hopkins. Ruiz is awful.
Chavez would certainly beat DLH at 135. At 140, Oscar just "might" edge him out in points, but he'd no doubt feel Julio's pressure and...
In terms of ability? He's in the top 20. In terms of accomplishment/greatness? Probably not.
I lean towards Arguello, even though i'm a bigger fan of Chavez than of him. I'm biased here. Maybe it's because i'm a big fan of the "Other" Fab...
I love JC Chavez, but most (if not all) of the following have a stronger argument for being ranked above him than otherwise: Robinson...
As a Pacman fan, am glad for the guy's success. But still... :atu: at everyone who bought the track.
In some ironic way, we actually deserve this shitty era. When good/great fighters were around in relative abundance, more often than not, we...
Yep. The carrier single recording, a karaoke remix, an acoustic version and five dance remixes. :atu:
Just saw Pac on Jimmy Kimmel. His CD has seven remixes of the same single. :lol:
Also, a few posts back on the subject of Chavez > JM Marquez. Marquez i think has a better skill-set than Chavez, but Chavez is better by simple...
Whitaker would've beaten Duran @ lightweight. He'd make Duran miss, and he wouldn't have been bullied on the inside either. Further, he'd have the...
If Curry's getting in and another one's getting out, Pipino Cuevas is a good pick.
Talent is not limited to physical ability, I think, although it certainly is the most visible and obvious manifestation. One consideration is...
Dammit. I said "In no particular order." :lol:
Good question. And it's something I also had in mind. Case in point are guys like Whitaker and Duran. Whitaker did his best work in the 80's,...
In no particular order... 1. Roy Jones Jr. 2. Mike Tyson. 3. Manny Pacquiao. 4. Pernell Whitaker. 5. Shane Mosley. 6. Oscar De La Hoya. 7. Floyd...
Separate names with a comma.
