    Remember that Hector was the main man in both divisions from 82-86 while Chavez was the invisible man until Hector stepped up each time. Julio patiently waited for Hector to move up in order to avoid a confrontation and protect that 40-0 record. There doesnt seem to be much doubt about it.

    Remember, these are two men who came up at the same time - in the same weight class and Julio didn't once bother to compete with him, instead picking on fighters with multiple losses to gain exposure. And remember who was winning the titles and grabbing all the headlines. Julio was always trailing behind. Hell, he didnt even make it onto network television until Summer 1985.

    This was a deliberate move as Julio was being expertly managed. Staying under the radar so that he isn't a big enough name for Hector to call him out. Anyways, Julio didn't really cut out a name for himself until the Rosario fight-again, another multiple loser.
