    He turned pro late and peaked late.

    Russian Chagaev was a very good fighter and especially for being a somewhat smaller guy fighting in a division of giants. I respect his abilities and achievements. That said, he wasn’t particularly exciting to watch in my opinion and he didn’t have that many big fights
