The julio cesar chavez sr appreciation thread

He came by our gym once just to shoot the **** with a trainer who worked there who was an old friend. He was goaded into lacing up to hit the bags for a few rounds.

Sounded like a baseball bat hitting a phone book.

Crazy stuff.

 

b/c i wanted to see Chavez get to 100-0 so bad and the way pea was moving i was pissed! the ****ing guy was slick as ****. JC chased him around all night. like you said he lost the boxing match on points but he ain't get no whipping.

I couldn't beleive Kosta was fighting Chavez, Chavez was so washed up by that time he had no business in that ring. really as a man Kosta should have stepped up and said this man shouldn't be fighting. I know it's a lot to ask from a boxer but that was a legend weel past his prime. I respect the klits a lot b/c they have stated they will never fight Holyfield for the same reasons, even if Holy had the WBA title.(which he rightfully should have won)

 

They should be ashamed as men to put that on there resume.

And Kosta is overrated.

 

Full respect to him. The man gave 88 kindergarten drop outs and nurses a chance to make a living in the ring, can't disrespect that.

 

Wasn't Chavez the favorite going in against DLH in the first fight?, wasn't Barrera the favorite going in against Pacquiao the first time?

 

I was referring to Kosta.

 

yeah that's what Greg Haugen said, before JCC squashed him like a bug in front of the largest boxing crowd ever.

 

Yo Haugen said that there wasn't 130,000 Mexicans who could afford tickets!:shock: Then he said the Tijuana taxi cab driver comment. after the fight fight Greg said " boy those must have been some tough cab drivers"

 

Truly a LEGEND.

It bugs me how he is so unappreciated here.
