I think this and the Lopez one were the only fights I´ve watched of Saad. He is one of thoese guys I need to watch more.
I narrowed it down to Saad and Chacon. But I wanted to make a choice. I decided Chacon because he had these crazy series of fghts: Limon x 4, Boza x 2, Olivares x 3. So I'm saying Chacon.
I think Gatti has to pretty high up on the list, even for you old timers:yep Tracy Harris Patterson, Robinson x 2, Gabriel Ruelas, Rodriguez, The second and third Ward fights. Saad was the light heavyweight version of Gatti, only more skilled and facing better comp. The first Marvin Johnson fight is class, as is the first Conteh fight, and the seconnd Lopez fight is probably one of the nest fights ive ever seen. Chaco was great from what ive seen of him, havent gone through a lot of his fights though unfortunately.
It seemed like if Saad was to fight his grandmother, he'd have to find a way to come back from the brink and stage a desperation rally to take her out. He was as sure a thing for a great fight as there was. Chacon too. I like the Boza mention as well; apparently he could box quite well, but he was so easy to lure into a slugfest that one never notices.
The first Boza-Chacon fight is quality too (as is Boza Vs Elizondo ****ing Hell ) Sportofkings; good point, but as exciting as Gatti was I've picked the guys that were equally exciting at a higher level. But yes, he'd be a top ten guy in these kinda' debates :good
