    It tongue and cheek. I wouldn't favor Chavez necessarily. I think it is an even matchup @35 because Julio was a legit great fighter in that divison. I think the punches that he did land are gonna have more effect. Chavez never did anything over 140.

    How was he being disrespectful? He just said that Whitaker beats any version of Chavez which i agree with although i think it would br a bit more competitive than their actual fight.

    Chavez broke his eye socket, two of his ribs among other injuries, funny schooling.

    Look I think your a great poster but to say Taylor schooled Chavez is ridiculous, he outworked him which is totally differen, Julio beat Meldrick up badly and won fair and square, deal with it.

    Thanks, likewise.
    But he was definitely outboxing Chavez as well imo, mostly based on speed.

    I do agree it was a fair win, and a just stoppage.
