    I heard he is one of the most exciting fighters to watch. Just seen his fight with Boza Edwards, anything else you would like to recommend?

    Awesome. Then the two Boza fights are the next best place.

    Besides the fights mentioned I also liked the Ray Mancini fight, albeit a bit short but still fun. His fights with Olivares are worth checking out as well.

    Schoolboy vs. Little Red Lopez is one you don’t see mentioned as often. Banger.

    Great choices. Chacon could mimic Willie Pep occasionally.

    It’s a damn good fight in its own right and well worth watching but not as good as the second one, which is the greatest 12 round distance fight I’ve ever seen.

    This would be down the list of recommendations because he had so many great fights, but his way-past-prime fight with Arturo Frias is a good watch.

    What did you think of Chacon-Limon 4?

    Don't watch his fight against Mancini, I was rooting for Chacon but he got crushed.

    Arturo Frias
    Ray Mancini
    Boza Edwards
    Olivares (Which one?)
    Danny Lopez

    Anything else?
