Julio Cesar Chavez's most creditable win?

Camacho shouldn't have been dominated like that even still...at thet stage of his career. It redeemed him, IMO, from the turn tail and run style and lack of valor that became his trademark after Rosario. He showed he could stand and take a beating like a man...which he did. That in no way besmirches any victim of Chavez who was ko'ed, but it did redeem Camacho personallly, to me.

 

Word 4 Word:good

 

Almost certainly Rosario.

He wasn't necessarily the best guy Chavez beat (at the very least, Taylor and Ramirez were better), but he was probably the best guy that he completely dominated.

 

The Rosario win was without a doubt the high point of Chavez' career. Rosario was a very good fighter with good boxer-puncher technique, although he made the mistake of falling in love with his power, (which, to be fair, was pretty devastating) and Chavez came into the ring and just mauled him. A fight that was supposed to be a tossup got turned into a one-sided beatdown and the most triumphant moment of JC's career.

Aside from that I think the second win against Mayweather is probably Chavez' most underrated win because Mayweather came into the ring with all the tools and the right gameplan to frustrate and counter Chavez, but Chavez nullified it all by refusing to give Mayweather the chance to use his dynamite straight right as a counterpunch and slowly, patiently wearing Mayweather down until Roger finally had enough.

The Lockridge fight is also worth noting because it also demonstrated the versatility of Chavez. When Chavez realized how tough Lockridge was on the inside Chavez switched up, turned boxer, and started sharpshooting Lockridge with jabs, straight rights, and uppercuts that repeatedly caught Lockridge coming in.

:yep

I try to tell people this all the time, but only a precious few get it: Chavez was very good at slipping punches, whether we're talking about a little weaving while he was coming in or moving his head just enough to get out of the way of a blow or have it deflect off his shoulders instead. Hell, I've seen some of the times where Chavez was fighting cans and after he would get bored of beating them up he'd invite the other guy to just throw at him and dodge everything the guy did. For example check out this bit from one of Chavez' later fights (this takes place sometime after the "draw" to Whitaker and the loss to Frankie Randall) between about 3:57-4:11:

Rosaro

 

Hey, I didn't know you could add a poll after a thread was already started. :shock: :conf

 

The Clinic of the inside fight that Chavez put on Rosario, was the most impressive performance by a boxer that i ever saw

 

how about none of the above.

 

Who do you say then?

 

Well he certainly must've had some credible wins if Terry Norris wanted to get a fight with him

 

hard to say. Out of the choices given, Rosario

 

:good
