    Sorry about the interlacing problems, and the quality isn't the best. I'm just trying to get accustomed to new software. In any event, here's a tribute I did for JCC. I tried to focus on his ability to avoid his opponent's punches, and I also hope the video best demonstrates his punching accuracy. When JCC threw, he tended to land. Fabulous fighter.

    My respect and estimation of JCC grows...he was a relentless force..reminds me a bit of Marciano in that last fight of his vs Moore...just methodically relentless all the way like a machine. He put a serious whipping on Rosario and Camacho..and that thick skull of his was inpenetrable.

    Chavez was a superb technician who threw accurate, fluid combinations to the head and body and had an excellent defense for a swarmer to go along with an iron chin. The highlight looks berry good, and reminds us that in his peak, Chavez was a truly complete fighting machine capable of methodically beating down even world class fighters. He also stayed busy going into the ring more often than any of his contemporaries save a young James Toney. I myself am particularly partial to the Pratchett fight, as that is as a stereotypical Chavez performance, if not his best.

    Well put, LittleRed.

    I haven't watched the Pratchett fight in its entirety yet.

    Great video.

    Can't understand why Chavez doesn't get respect in the general.

    I suspect his detractors haven't actually sat down and watched the man fight outside of his match with Meldrick Taylor. There seems to be a misconception that he was a one-dimensional, face-first brawler. He was, as LittleRed so eloquently put, a technician. He had formidable skills to go along with his iron chin and stamina.

    You wouldn't have to watch much of him to realise he was much more than that. Personal fave fight was Haugen.

    Yeah, his destruction of Greg Haugen is up there for me too. Haugen was no mug, but he was made to look like one in front of 130,000 people in the Azteca stadium that night.

    If Chavez fought Whitaker at Jnr Welter in 1990, what's the outcome?

    Whitaker still wins, but it'd probably be closer.

    I don't like the little son of a *****, but he was the best to ever come out of Mexico.
