He's always been bad. Dude was a light heavy fighting middleweights. He never looked good against top opposition. Martinez schooled him the whole fight and when he managed to land his left on Martinez's chin he wobbled him and he was lucky enough that Martinez fell into the cables to receive more punishment, if Martinez hit the canvas after that left Martinez leg might have been fine (dont remember if the first shot twisted his knee but whatever). In any case he was able to inflict a lot of punishment in that time frame and with 1:30 min left to go he couldn't even close the show.
To tell the truth, I never considered Chavez jr a good fighter, from the beginning he beat Zbik in a fight that he lost .. Against Martinez I always knew he was going to lose .. His best victory if I am not mistaken was against Andy Lee in a fight he was losing

Kirkland Laing on his day was brilliant.But you were never quite sure what version of Laing would turn up
I remember Chavez doing surprisingly well against Lee. Lee was winning the early rounds but Chavez slowly took him apart, it was a good performance. But yea, he always was just a big guy who learned a few tricks from his father and Roach. 0 boxing IQ.
Laugh all you want..when Golota wasn't sabotaging himself he was one hell of a force to be reckoned with
No way, not in his prime ‘87-93. Old and fading Holyfield yes, but that’s the same for all fighters who fight on for a decade or so past their peak
