Roger took a right on the initial circle, still proceeded to circle and took a gazelle right hook to the face.

Outside of Mexico, fighters aren't generally linked with their nationality as consistently. It's because to sports-writers, "Mexican boxer" something more than "a boxer who was born in Mexico".

[@uncletony6210]

The first time I ever saw Chavez fight was his second fight vs Mayweather. I was 19 and I was dating this 39 yr old chick from Peru. She told me "Julio Cesar Chavez is fighting tonight." I asked who he was. She was shocked that I had never heard of him and said he was 60 and 0. I told her that was impossible (I knew that the best fighters at the time, e.g., Nunn and Tyson had records of around 30 and 0, so I thought 60 and 0 could not have been true). Anyway, she was right about the record; we watched the fight (on Telemundo) and I became a fan thereafter.

Man what a great breakdown. I really enjoyed this. Amazing how Chavez could close the gap and put in work on the inside and just wear fighters down. I've really admired Chavez's way to grapple and do micro bumps to an oncoming glove to deflect it while continuing to move forward, but this just adds to his legacy. I cant believe Roger's trainer stepped in and that wasnt automatically the end of the fight!! Ive never seen that. Amazing too how Floyd Jr. stood on the shoulers of other giants to be the fighter he is too.

[@ramonruelas3532]

[@TheCoog97]

Agree! Floyd's one loss that exposed him. Jose Luis Castillo solved him like a Rubik's Cube that night.

[@MikeSmith-ym9eq]

Castillo won, but Floyd said he had injured his shoulder in training camp. I’m not sure if there’s evidence, though. You can have record-padder, JCC. I’ll take Salvador “The Lung” Sanchez any day.

[@MrWarmanG]

@@MikeSmith-ym9eq if he wasn't injured why was it so easy to beat him in the rematch the first fight was close rematch was easy work

[@MikeSmith-ym9eq]

@@MrWarmanG One does not necessitate the other… there could be many reasons: better preparation, knowing the opponent better and from square one, better PEDs (no knowledge of such, but at this point, we’re speculating possibilities, not certainties), etc. Regardless of the second fight, though, Castillo won the first fight, Whitaker defeated JCC, and RJJ won gold in the Olympics. There is no sport as contradictory as boxing: the matching of two men of relatively equal skill deciding relative greatness in a match independent of all outside forces judged by a panel sometimes tainted by the inept or dishonest. IMO, something was amiss with Floyd when Castillo won. Perhaps his shoulder, or perhaps on that initial meeting, JLC was to Floyd what Tarver was to RJJ. Either way - shoulder or puzzling opponent - Floyd proved his greatness with his subsequent dismantling of JLC.

[@michaelruggiero2076]

Chavez definitely was one of the best counterpunchers in boxing history. Able to get knockouts with either hand. But what is little known about Chavez is during his career, he has had to undergo many physicals and a occasional MRI or brain scans to insure his safety which I'm sure all pro boxers had to endure. Some specialist doctor who studies the brain and skull said Chavez has a slightly thicker skull than most people! He can withstand more head shots! However, lots of people have this! Chavez is definitely the best fighter for his size!!
