    haha disrespect 1 of the greatest ever feather weights this man

    From 1929 to 1933 Chocolate was at his peak as a fighter facing a vast array of top featherweights and lightweights in the late 20’s and early 30’s. He fought 8 world champions. He won his first 51 professional fights without loss before coming out on the short end of a split decision to Jackie “Kid” Berg (who was 10 pounds heavier if a remmeber). He won the Jr. Lightweight Title by stopping Lew Feldman in 12 rounds in 1931 and won the NYSAC World Featherweight Title in 1932 by decisioning Fidel LaBarba. Had the scandalous decisions he lost gone his way he would have victories over a total of 5 Hall of Famer’s in his career. The Kid began to wind down in 1933 after it was discovered he was suffering from syphilis, although he still had much success in the ring.

    Sugar Ray Robinson was a great admirer of Kid Chocolate,” said Fausto Miranda, a former Cuban journalist who covered many of Chocolate's fights. Sugar Ray Robinson, went on record saying that he had never seen anyone box like Kid Chocolate before

    Kid Choclate was a legend pity the milky bar kid didnt want any of that!

    Kid Chocolate was a great fighter, he would probably have won by wide UD or late TKO, I think my nuthuggery for MBK got the better of me.

    I can't think of anyone that my main man Marvin Hagler ducked. Otherwise Duran, Pryor (he was ducked by others; not his fault), Chocolate, and (one could argue) Mosley comes to mind

    Marciano clean out the heavyweights before he retire.


    My personal choice would be Barney Ross. This guy fought nearly evey one from the Caniz's McLarin's and Armstrong's of his era.

    Micky Walker is other name that springs to mind.

    There was the ESPN ppv where I believe Shane said he wasn't ready for Margarito. I could be mistaken but it was around that time.

    And another time I believe it was on maxboxing where he said he wasn't ready to step up in class to fight the best welters. Funny that he turned around and fought Cotto, who I think he saw as more beatable.


    As far as greats who didn't duck anyone? From my lifetime: Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Bernard Hopkins all come to mind.

    Floyd Mayweather. Look at how many titles he has won in the amount of weight classes he's fought at and look at how many title fights he's been in.
