I saw Chavez name on some lists. Interesting that he doesnt have a deep resume at `35 but he was probably at his best there.

H2H I wouldnt pick that many Lightweights to beat him. He was an awesome machine at his peak. The way he cut the ring and the way he took a man apart to the body. He made guys quit on their stools.

1.Duran
2.Leonard
3.Sweet Pea
4.Ike Williams
5.Ortiz

Where Duran was weighing no more than 135 pounds, maybe a couple of pounds over that limit at most.

Is that top 5 a head to head shout?

Yeah that's fair. He didn't fight a whole lot between 130 and 135
