Because he was ducking Napoles and knew Napoles would always lose before he'd get to the no.1 contender spot at 135 and be able to force a fight...
Given Napoles' acclimatisation to the weight, it's not really that much of an achievement as you're making it out to be. Look at Napoles in the...
Ahuh, and out of the kindness of his heart, Napoles even let a few of the poor lightweights beat him. They were so easy to beat, he even showed...
Desperate much? Talking up Billy Backus? Urbina was a decent fighter, but someone Chavez would never lose to in his prime. Wouldn't say...

The Laporte fight was close, but who actually scored it for him? As for Randall, yeah, Chavez bailed out of that one, but Chavez's career was...
Chavez and Nelson are closer to what Whitaker can expect from Pryor than anyone Pryor has faced with regards to Pernell though. If anyone is...
Chavez matches up well with Pryor. With his great chin and how open and off-balance Pryor gets in throwing punches, I think Chavez would bust him...
