That's my favorite Chavez performance after the Rosario fight.

What's great about that performance and JC in general is how unreliant on physical gifts it was.

The broken rib excuse did sound legit.

JC looked uncharacteristically kalule-esque in that fight.

Pacifistic and romatic even.

Embarrassing stuff from our mexican residents, by the way.

@LittleRed, you need to be writing essays on JC's rigid smoothness, not baseball diaries.
@Hands of Iron, you were a chicano once, for Chava's sake.
Even @Pedderrs betrayed Barrera's mullet for some posh fatty.

The Dutch metal viking cares more about latinos than you.

Canelo generation.

@Zopilote is alone in this world of capitalistic gringos.

Arguello would be interesting, I could see Julio giving him absolute hell on the inside though.

Ramirez is the worst loss of Arguello's career.

Sure, he was a classic 15 round fighter.

But it's the type of loss that can be used against him in so many fantasy fight.

If you managed to find a way to get yourself outboxed and outmoved by Ramirez of all people, that doesn't look good at all.

Ramirez though.
Who woulda thought.
Can't see his son, Jose Luis Castillo, pulling off a performance of this calibur.

With that said, how intimidating was this Freddie Mercury-wannabe, if he put such beasts as Ramirez and Pryor on their bikes?

Don't think JC would want to spend too much time on the inside, Z.

Occasionally, yes.

But this is exactly the kind of fight that would require versatility and an iron chin from a fighter of his style and dimensions.

Luckily for Chavez, he had both in spades.

True, Alexis was too powerful and precise of a puncher for one get too comfortable against him at close quarters. El Puas found that out the hard way.

Still, I just can't get my head off of seeing how much success Ruben was having against him on the inside. But then again, Ruben, although past his prime and best weight, was still a cagey little bastard, and very experienced compared to the young Flaco Explosivo.

On the other hand, say, for example a solid textbook reserved jab-master like Jim Watt is not an easy fight for Arguello.

In theory.

And yet Arguello simply tyson'd him into mental submission.

The Lockridge MD is one of the worst robberies evah.

One of the judges was a disguised filipino ninja.

He exploded shortly after the fight.

Arguello won that fight. Ramirez saw the light and never again let his heels leave the canvas.

This is world class stuff, as Merchant used to say.

Danny Romero - Vuyanu Bungu is that kind of fight.

Even if both fighters were slightly past their best.

Consistent action, solid skills, punches thrown with mean intentions and a scandalous decision.

Doesn't deserve to be forgotten.

Romero was like a young manlier Oscar.

Well-schooled in all areas (although nothing sophisticated) but aggressive and hittable enough to please both casuals and hardcore fans.

Looked like a latino Christian Bale too.

Some consider it a legacy booster.

That's the kind of post that would get you body punched to death in Culiacan.

Chocolin is a horrible drug.

Ramirez refused to fight like that again even when he was losing every round against Hector Camacho and daytime television actor Ray Mancini. Clearly after Arguello he learned his lesson. And that lesson turned him into a pumpkin versus any world class fighter he fought not named Rosario.

Am I saying that Gonzalez ' s win over Akira is better than Chavez win over Ramirez?
