Didn't Chavez go down with Tszyu? If not he was completely rocked. I think he went down in that fight. Hagler should have ended his career not being knocked down. The Roldan fight was Roldan hooking and catching the back of Hagler's head and Hagler going down from a push down. He jumped right back up and complained to the ref about that being a knockdown. He was not hurt. Roldan was just so strong he actually took Hagler down with a hook which missed. After Roldan fought Hearns, Hearns had bruises on his back. Roldan hit hard.
Yes your right Tszyu did deck Chavez.
Chavez had an incredible chin. I am not sure how much of it is defensive and how much chin. But Hagler and Chavez both had good chins. They were hit clean at times and didn't go anywhere. Hagler might have had the best chin in the history of boxing. He took two punchers in Hearns and Mugabi and pretty much walked through their punches.
