Haven't sc you in awhile.  Let me change that.  Chavez faught Jose Luis Ramirez, Roger Mayweather (2), Edwin Rosario, Juan LaPorte and Meldrick Taylor in his first 80 fights.  I would call them elite
roger mayweather was not elite what great fighter did edwin rosario ever beat ?? same with juan la porte and Jose Luis Ramirez has good record but never beat anyone superb only real great fighter he beat on that list was meldrick taylor he had excellent skills one of quickest hands ive ever seen its shame he had to brawl chavez because he had the fight in the bag but even meldrick taylor sadly never beat anyone great either not saying thats his fault because i know he had bad injurys after chavez fight but still facts are facts he never beat anyone really great either because his prime ended so quick

leonard beat wilfredo benitez hagler hearns and duran them alone are greater fighters than the ones u mentioned
