Julio Cesar Chavez's first 42 fights were against bums!!!

You're being delusional with the two robberies against Marquez.

The first fight was clearly for Pac in a close fight and the judge admitted she made a mistake scoring the first round 10-7 rather than 10-6. :deal

The rematch was close, I had it for Pac but can understand anyone that scored it for Marquez. Marquez has balls of steel, I can't bash on him even if I tried, look who he's fighting next and at what weight. When he called Mayweather out after Diaz people(including myself) laughed and took it as a joke, a month later and it's official....

 

Are you shitting me? Duran's record is in a different stratosphere to Chavez's.

 

Most have been B- level OR below, I think he will get stopped when he fights a B+ figher.

 

Chavez started his professional carrer at the age of 18, yes he fought some easy opponents at the begining like everybody else and won his first international belt at the age of 22, after that Chavez began his reign of terror.

 

he actually started at 17 :good

 

Are you shitting me? Ever heard of boxrec?

 

It's **** like this that makes it so discouraging sometimes to post on a boxing msg board.

How the **** did u find your way here, and who said you could talk?

 

Not exactly the same but have semblance. Look, Duran fought 103 times in his career, how many exactly are SRL or Hearns caliber in there. His resume is comprised of fighters with probably similar resume as JCC's opponent with a spalttering of very good ones.

Even after championship fights, he faced opponents with records as appalling as less than 10 fights.

Not to discredit Duran because he is a hell of a fighter, but what I am saying is that that was the norm of those days. Tuneup fights were basically tune-up fights. Pre-PPV, the TV company is not obligated to match up a Champion against a top 10 fighter if it is a tune-up.

Now, just go to Boxrec and you will see that even in his prime years at 135 as a champion, he really faced fighters with mediocre records. Now, you might say that those fighter are tough as nail even though they have probably 14 wins with 8 losses, who am I to dispute that. Most of the duran fights I saw were the big fights, not the "stay-busy" fights.

Do not take this as an insult to Duran because he has my respect. However, it is undisputable that fighters before had more fights (some even up to 150, but most of those are against overmatched fighters.

JCC however is entirely differnt because he bridged both the PPV and pre-PPV era.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I wish Marco Antonio Barrera had done the same thing Julio Cesar Chavez did. I'd get to see him fight 4-5 times a year, as opposed to just 2-3 times - and he'd probably always be in better shape for the big fights because not even gym training and sparring can replace the experience you get from fighting real competition. Sure, Chavez took on a lot of no hopers, but this didn't stop him from fighting the likes of Rosario, Camacho, Taylor, Whitaker, Mayweather, Ramirez, etc. He just kept his fans happy by fighting as regularly as possible, which gave him the foundation he didn't get in the amateurs.

Chavez was a very skilled and talented professional prizefighter. You only have to watch his destruction of Rosario to know that.

 

In my opinion it doesn't really matter. Wins will NEVER detract from someones record.

 

What up Scar? Me and Pimp C knew you would be all over this one. :yep:yep

 

Here are some fighters that were left off his early fight record
Tommy Tomatocan
Larry Lunchbox
Sam Sasuagehead
Willy Lump Lump
Captain Save-A-Hoe
Cletus Cab Driver

 

yeah that's what Greg Haugen said, right before JCC savagely beat him down like he was nothing and toyed with him in front of the largest crowd in boxing history.

JCC made him apologize IN THE RING immediately after the fight. msg board posters should learn something from that.

 

Right after Chavez savagely stopped Haugen, Chavez asked Haugen if he still thought he'd beaten up on Tijuana taxi cab drivers........
Haugen's anwers was classic...."They must have been tough taxi cab drivers!"
