    The only man to TKO Chavez. Also Gonzales, Mayweather and other (25+)-0 boxers. Hurtado is a very underrated boxer.

    Chavez was washed up. So was Mayweather. Hurtado is underrated, but he is not anything above B level.

    Check out the beginning of his career.
    The win/loss ratio of his 1st 12 opponents is very impressive.

    Oscar TKO'd Chavez twice so no Tzyu was not the only one to ever do it.

    Those aren't HOF names and definatly not better than Oscar and Bhops resume

    Chavez is probably the most under-rated fighter on ESB. For some messed up reason, ESB always underrates offensive fighters.

    Yeah thats amatuers. As James "The Grim Reaper" Roper said "I was 17 I'd kill howdy doody now!"

    No disrespect to Zoo who was a top flight fighter, but if amatuers meant as much as pros Amir Khan would be a top 10 P4P fighter.

    Not only that but it's not like Forrest is some ATG or something.

    If you all are going on who he's fought, yeah, he's not got as great a resume as DLH and the bunch but if you watch him fight you see the skills that make me beleive that he was definetly not an overrated fighter. That's all I'm getting at really. Resume's don't always automatically mean a guys great or not (but do have a whole lot to do with whether or not they will be in the HOF or not). Seeing them in the ring, doing there thing is what I like to pay more attention to. It's not like he ducked anyone during his reign...

    I think you overrate Mayweather honestly. I mean, you got a little guy in Pac that beat the **** out of De La Hoya, and then you got Mayweather who fought basically straight up and down, and ran the whole time, basically just surviving on his reflexes, stamina, and the fact that De La Hoya was so drained by the 8th round, they had a medical staff on standby because they were afraid his heart would explode from exhaustion.

    I think if Mayweather were a true champion, he would have whupped Oscar's ass.

    Mayweather is the most overrated fighter on ESB

    You have a decent number of morons who say he would beat Tommy Hearns and Ray Leonard in their primes at welter. I've seen one person say, in the course of defending Floyd, that Castillo is just as good as Chavez and Duran

    These people are delusional. I haven't seen that many Tszyu fans claim he easily beats better versions of fighters that gave him hell

    What you fail to mention is that Oscar was a walking corpse on fight night even Roach admitted to this. PBF fought a fresher Oscar at his weight. Not only that but you have to factor in styles. PBF is a defensive counter-puncher and Pac is much more aggressive dumb argument at best Capfunds.:-(
