Just rewatched Chavez vs Taylor and was wondering if this was the best performance ever against a guy (i think) who was universally recognised as P4P number one. He beat him in evrey department- boxed him, body punches, infighting and counterpunching. I don't want to get into a debate about the result and controversy, but have you ever seen that dominant performance against someone like Chavez?
yes the whittaker fight was probably more dominant IMO. but i think the same of you Taylor fought great and nearly won but the nearly is the key word
sweet pea's is better imo, chavez wasn't allowed to perform at all in that fight. another suggestion is honeyghan over curry,although hagler was probably censous no.1 at that time come 2 think of it.
Monzon overwhelmed Napoles. But Jose was out of his natural weight division, so don't know whether that counts. Honeyghan-Curry is another beating.
pretty sure he was p4p4 1 in that very short space of time. If so then that fight has to be right up there in this thread

After Whitaker "beat" Chavez till Jones beat Toney. About for a year there was some debate between Whitaker and Tiney as the #1 p4p. Most had Whitaker #1.
i was just going to say it's only the ring mag (that sounded sarcastic it aint). it isnt fact...why they have julian jackson and riddick bowe there i'm not solid certain.
