    I was fortunate enough to see him fight in his prime...to me he's a top 15-20 p4p of all time and i'd probably put him only behind the great Roberto Duran as far as LW's go...I truly believe he was the greatest defensive fighter ever- that's including Willie Pep- and if he had more pop in his punch, he probably would've went down in the top 7-10 ever..he made fighters look really, really stupid

    Chavez was living the life by that fight. See Mike Tyson vs Douglas.

    The leverage he got into those body shots was just dirty.

    :lol:And he called him "forgotten". Sorry, but as big a Pea fan as I am, he's about the last fighter I'd consider forgotten or underrated on this board.

    Under rated? most people on here rate him extremly high. He gets the credit he deserves.

    Underated, and not given enough credit or respect, in my opinion.

    Huge sweet pea fan here and I agree that its ridiculous to think he is somehow underrated on ESB.

    beautiful stuff to watch though.
