He is definitely in there more than once. Can you guess where?

Ring used to do this a lot before the internet and Ring tv have done a few but I don't recall seeing Sr in the mix over the years at least not post retirement.


Best Skills: Whitaker or Taylor
Best Jab: Taylor or Oscar
Best Defence: Whitaker
Best Chin: Oscar
Best Punch: Oscar
Fastest Hands: Taylor or Camacho
Fastest Feet: Whitaker or Camacho
Smartest: Oscar or Whitaker
Strongest: Randall

Best Overall: Oscar

That would be my guess

It was late last night and you are right I have been away for a day.

I will get the Ring magazine from upstairs. I only bought the mag because it had Tyson on the cover, brought back nostalgic memories for me.

What issue was this in? Yeh, Chavez seemingly still steers clear of Randall. No one wants to mention an obscure nemesis who effectively whipped your arse twice but no one talks about

I go Juan Laporte as far as chin, of course. He went to war with Chavez in a paper thin decision.

Hmmm interesting. Not sure how he arrived at Macho and Rosario having a better chin then Oscar but hey I didn't do to badly. Yeah brother odd on Randall cause he man handled him in the first fight.

You know I almost took Rosario on the punch just because of his record but he hit Chavez with everything but the horse trough and Chavez still stopped him. Oscar destroyed him in two fights.
Accumulative I suppose but like all converted southpaws Oscars left hook was money.

Yeah, fighters often do this when they are asked about opponents. The best whatever they ever fought will be someone they beat and looked good against, instead of a guy that whipped their ass. Just damage control for their ego's I'd say, I remember James TOney did one of these and Roy Jones was perhaps not even on the list for any of them

I am a Chavez fan but he was a very bad loser and showed no class when he lost to Randall or Oscar.

However he gave some real good answers to why he chose these fighters.

We know Rosario can hit hard and he did hit Chavez hard many times. Julio said the only reason he was able to take the punches was because he was young, fit and hungry fighter. I can believe him with that one.

Macho man took a beating from Chavez and no one else stopped him so again believe him about Camacho's chin.

By the time he fought Oscar we know that Chavez was not the same top fighter.

Still believe it is an honest assessment except for the guy to take his 0.

True- I am a big fan also...but his ego...that is why I was so impressed with his honesty on Taylor's 3-1 landing shots

I can believe him with that one. - Brutal fight, When I saw Rosario's wife/woman getting up to walk out, I knew the shit would be over real quick...damn those eyes were swollen shut, JCC was a machine then!!

Macho man took a beating from Chavez and no one else stopped him so again believe him about Camacho's chin. -I had another great call then- put this one in the great defeats thread

By the time he fought Oscar we know that Chavez was not the same top fighter.
True, but if you got to have a changing of the guards... It's one thing to beat an old JCC, but another thing to bloody him up- The loss may have been due to old age, but it was DLH's shots that busted him up.

Still believe it is an honest assessment except for the guy to take his 0.

Randall's momma & daddy were probably shocked at that performance! LMAO!
