was their ever a good fighter from mexico that dident have good chin?

Hmm, don't know that I agree there.

Trinidad's power looks equally unimpressive as he moved up in weight against higher end competition. And Trindad didn't move up in weight nearly as high as Campas would go.

Consider how many matches and wars Campas went through. You don't think his power, among other things, could have eroded over time?

The man has been fighting for over 20 years now if I'm not mistaken, and De La Hoya sure as hell didn't seem to think his power was overrated the way he was running from the man.

 

.........I'm not even referring to Campas at the higher weights; other than the DLH fght, I've never seen him post-welterweight.

Besides, power rarely leaves a fighter with age, unless he climbs over his best weight class. That of course is common enough.

I don't think Oscar was all that wary of his power, just his pressure. He wanted to keep him on the outside and not fight Alligator Arms' fight.

 

Honestly, no truly poor fighter goes 56-0 with that many knockouts without having SOMETHING going for them.

Greg Haugn said the same against about Julio Cesar Chavez, and while there's obviously a massive gap between JCC and Campas, it's still a decent analogy.

You're still sparking dozens and dozens of men in the squared circle, on a consistent basis without a single **** up.

 

...........But we saw what effect Chavez's power (and skill) had against real top-flight opposition. Campas never showed us that. As soon as he got to the big time, his punches looked decidedly ordinary.

 

He dropped Trinidad with a single shot that couldn't of traveled more than 8 inches.

The power didn't look every bit as effective against competition as he moved up but it always seemed more than respectable to me.

Also he ever had was the power and chin, it'd kind of have to stay effective, yes?

 

...........Trinidad was dropped early and often as a welterweight. A few guys turned that trick. None of them were sledgehammer types, and Tito got right back up unhurt.

I wouldn't say Campas threw love taps, just that his power was merely ordinary.

 

Yeah, but how many of them did it with shots in the clinch with hooks that traveled barely more than half a foot?

I don't think his power is cosmic or anything, but I feel it's more than ordinary

 

.........5 out of 10 on the scale. No more. :bart

 

Nay, villain. :twisted:

 

Ruben Olivares did not have a weak chin, but he often ran into bother after his first run.

 

the great JC did a lot of his Knock outs through body punching

 

Yory had way above average power..you shouldnt try an argue that

 

So Henry Armstrong, Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson & Pernell Whitaker Didn't dominate at below 160?? I suppose Willie Pep,Fritzie Zivic, & Benny Leonard didn't dominate either? What a knucklehead!!!

 

Well, John Ruiz is originally from Puerto Rico and was recently quite successful above 160 pounds.
