He isn't boring! He's one of the most unorthodox, imaginative and skilled fighters of all-time. People whining about him being 'too fundamental' -- Wot?! :nut :rofl
It's mind boggling. But I sincerely doubt most in the general haven't a clue about Pea, hell it honestly feels like a lot of the general doesn't know enough about Chavez
Granted, it's not as if Pea didn't do things that were flawless in technique, but so much of his game was based on using his absurd radar to create illusions, throw off opponents' timing, dodging (and countering) shots from imaginative angles. Admittedly, his athletic gifts and reflexes played a huge role in his ability to do this. Nobody could ever really replicate that type of free hand creativity. I think drug abuse definitely accelerated his decline personally, but he was going to be on his way down regardless IMO. . ... And yeah, both Chavez' ability and record are sold plenty short. People want ATGs, no matter how high of quality the top champions and contenders he faced were, particularly at the time he fought them (Taylor, Rosario, Lockridge all top dogs in respective divisions).
What the hell.... Harry Greb definatley has the best one out of everybody at middleweight, maybe the best ever, this should go on classic if you want to get proper responses
1. Monzon (solid reign, dominated a good generation) 2. SRR (good wins, but he was inconsistant at that weight) 3. Hagler 4. Greb X) Hopkins (his opponents were **** except Trinidad)
Greb has a hell of a resume but his best wins where over the middleweight limit at lightheavy and at heavy. At middleweight he still has one of the best resumes, but it's in no way difinitive compared to others. I go with Monzon.
