Aaron Pryor v.s Julio Cesar Chavez

It's well known about hector's personal lifestyle taking its toll on his body. I thought you knew about these things. Chavez didnt take his beatings until the Randall fight. Up until then he played it safe with fights like Refugio Rojas, Juan Laporte, Andy Holligan, Greg haugen, etc. Then after the Randall fight he went downhill-that's what I said earlier isnt it?

So I am consistent in everything I do and say which is more than I can say for you being as gullible as you are, falling prey to such suggestions to "one punch changed his whole career around". When did I ever say the Rosario fight was the end of his prime?? You ought to go out and get some boxing knowledge before revealing your lack of it before a true expert of the 80's era. You know nothing about the decade of the 80's!!

 

For that matter what does that say about Chavez if Ramirez knocked out the same Rosario in 4? What does that say about Ramirez if Hector took him to school for 12 rounds. Confused? You should be-you know nothing about the boxing scene throughout the 80s it's no wonder you get confused so often.

 

What does it say? Not a damn thing, as Chavez dominated and stopped Ramirez as well. Are you simple or what?

 

Camacho got whooooped by a past his prime Chavez. Yes, both had seen better days, but Chavez gave that man a pounding. Hector is lucky he was a durable guy as he absorbed waves of attacks to the body.

Comparing Camacho to Whitaker is like comparing a Ferrari to a BMW. Looking at how both southpaw movers coped with Chavez pretty much doesn't lie does it? Not unless you're either biased or haven't seen the fights in question.

Whitaker outboxed the Mexican bull and even had the bottle to stand inside and back him up during the late rounds. Mind now, Whitaker was also past his prime, not just Chavez.


Who can forget old Hector getting pounded and dropped by De La Hoya. He moved constantly and effectively for 12 rounds while flicking out the odd jab. The legs were still there for old Hector, no qualms there. He needed those legs as well. Those legs were his saviour. Moved like a man his prime.

 

By beatings, I meant punishment, I don't mean beatings in the way that Camacho so routinely took them, getting beaten around the ring like a rag doll and all. Chavez's style caused him to take a lot more punishment than Mr. Run-n-Hold Camacho, yet Camacho still fell off his prime earlier. Personal problems? How convenient!

You're consistently wrong, true, I won't deny that. When every single opinion you have is off the wall and other experts of the 80's laugh at you, it kinda makes people question your credentials. You must be the biggest fool on this forum. Troll.

 

Camacho was poor mans Whitaker. Not the same skills, not the same credentials, and certainly not the same variety of offense and defense.

Camacho done it well, Whitaker simply done it like a wizard.

 

Well I'm off for the night, I'll be back tomorrow for more of Redrooster's incoherent ramblings.

 

Chavez wins a close decision. He'd be behind on points and rally. Chavez is just too consistent at close quarters and Pryor's poor balance would see him take a count.

 

Chavez via decision or late stoppage due to his vaunted body attack.

 

As someone who was witness to all the fighters of the 80s, only I have the proper perspective. Pernell would have posed just minor problems for Hector like that other olympic gold medalist Howard Davis and Sugar ray Leonard since everything they did, Hector did three times faster. Like those two found out, Pernell just wouldnt be fast enough for him and neither would Chavez. Sure, Pernell has a long career with some okay opponents but are mostly just left overs from the Arghello-Mancini-Howard Davis-Camacho-Salvador Sanchez era.

I'm off for today but I'll be back later on for more of Sweet Pea's ramblings.

 

One wonders if you snorted more coke than Pryor himself in the 80's.
