People keep forgetting that Chavez and Chavez Jr had no amateur career whatsoever. If we add the typical amateur career (more than 100 fights normally) plus the pro fights to get them for a championship fight it will be around 130 fights. Well, do the math and don't you think its something to respect that a guy with only, say, 30 or 40 fights EVER goes for a belt? Get ANY amateur out there with barely 30 something fights in the ring with any pro and lets see how they do.

Still, Chavez is a Hall of Famer for a reason. Without an amateur career and look at his accomplishments.
