Did Whitaker beat a prime Chavez?

Hell Yea chavez was undefeated before that right?

 

undefeated dont mean prime.

 

He was but that doesnt mean he was in his prime.

 

Tyson was undefeated when he fought 'Buster'... He was past his prime.
Holmes was undefeated when he fought Spinks... He was past it...
Marciano was undefeated his whole career... Was he still in his prime when he quit?

 

Chavez was past his prime against Whitaker, but he was no more past it than he was against Hector Camacho, or Greg Haugen. And in fact he threw about as many punches against Whitaker as he did against Meldrick Taylor, and started the fighter quicker than any other fight he had started in years looking to aggressively impose himself.

 

I already said that prime Whitaker beats any version of Chavez so it wouldnt make any difference if he was prime or not but you asked if he was in his prime at the time and the obvious answer is no,saying he was in his prime cause he was undefeated is simply stupid.

 

Chavez' prime was in the mid to late 80's until the very early 90's... The Whitaker fight was later than that. He already had far over 80 fights behind him at the time. But like I said before... It would have been a 'pick em' fight if they were both in their primes.

 

Were you expecting him to become a slick boxer all of a sudden?of course he fought the same way as ever it was his style.

 

God you guys are southpaw nuthuggers......:roll: Whitaker sucked and could not crack an egg.
