    I think Yuh was a better fighter and would take a clear UD.

    Yuh was Chavez-lite.

    I also think Yuh wins. This is an interesting match-up though, IMO. Both represent something bad for the other, style wise. Chiquita apparently had his fair share of issues with tall Korean Yul Woo Lee (need to see this, coz it sounds like an awesome fight), and he struggled massively with the unbelievable amateur, Kwang Sun Kim. Kim was a spiteful pressure fighter with similar mannerisms to Yuh, but without the toughness or workrates. Chiquita did eventually break him down, but it was extremely close going into the final two. Kim is one of Korea's best amateurs ever, but he wasn't as good as Yuh - but was very similar. He just lacked the two key aspects which sent and kept Yuh at the top. Extreme toughness, and otherworldly endurance. But on the flip side, Yuh's issues with DeMarco were very real. Chiquita could fully replicate this kind of a performance, although I doubt he'd be able to match Yuh's workrate like DeMarco did.

    It'd be a great fight. Yuh wins IMO.

    I think the only fighters who beat Yuh at 108 are Chang, Zapata, Chocolatito and maybe Gushiken. I wouldn't favour anyone else, although Matlala, Carbajal and Lopez would be great fights as well.
