    hey we all have our opinions....to me he was Chavez before there was a Chavez!, he just lacked media hype of some of the others IMO. I think of him as about as Mexican of a fighter that there is.

    Yeah, I think it’s maybe a profile thing. Dynamic in the ring, but low key outside it. But you’re right, stylistically he is so I was probably just talking bollocks.

    Thanks man. No, I wasn’t saying you were! I just realised I posted something without thinking it through fully and then thought ‘Yeah, what did I mean by that?!’

    Saldivar is also a fighter I'd put on the 'most underrated defense' list.

    strange....there is some guy named markant on YouTube that said he was a poor defensive fighter? Now I am confused. He sounded quite knowledgeable in the comments

    A legendary Welsh fighter known for his left landed his jab on him. Poor defense. Warrington destroys him.
