This is a GREAT article about the man that I remember reading when I was a young man and used to devour sports illustrated the day it got delivered. Agreed with both of you that as far as pure boxing, he's up there. That being said, my man Sweet Pea got robbed https://vault.si.com/vault/1993/02/...vez-fights-to-keep-his-extended-family-secure
Everyone talks about his right uppercut (and it made heads snap back like a PEZ dispenser) but he seemed to set it up with that vicious left hook to the body that nearly folded men over into the uppercut. In his prime he had heavyweight power at a middle or even lightweight pace to go with serious knowledge and skills in the "Sweet Science".
He can get it from @2Fer, I get a call at least once a week in the summer on pool electrical shit he runs into.
Thanks for posting that article. Chavez is an intense dude for sure. I never knew about his home life/background. Just remembered watching him with several different fighters and he just ground them all down. Relentless.
Be a lot fucking easier if the cornbread-fed fuckers who were there before you did anything close to NEC compliant.
Same here, and every time we’d swear it was going to be different because he had a real opponent to fight
