Chris Robinson catches up with former two-division world champion Roger Mayweather inside of the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, as he takes a look back at his two memorable fights with the great Julio Cesar Chavez
Music credits: Junior Stil ( / juniorstil07 )
Chavez was an amazing fighter. Strong, intelligent, technically gifted, patient, good timing, ecconomical puncher and a granite chin. The complete package.
Uriel Zinn Why doesn't this comment have over a million likes?
Y ñ
Duran was kinda sloppy compared to Chavez.. Chavez had the best body movement and a better head movement than Duran.. but if you ask Chavez he will deny that he was that good.. although he did do more than a lot of other Legendary boxers in many ways, he stays humble and doesn't consider himself the best like other boxers do.
@@Azdude801 To many haters that's why.. Envious buttholes won't agree cause they're haters and don't really know much about a true technician at work.
Roger Martin no mas Duran? Ok. lol
Chavez in his prime was unbeatable
lol
This is the truth.
LOL everyone on the internet is tough.
Miguel Gomez is the perfect example of a fan who cant speak without emotion. lol Chavez fought 89 mexican fighters who were shit, and young Floyd would have boxed circles around chavez. Floyd isn't the same fighter as roger don't assume the same would happen
See how he can't speak facts just emotion lol. Probally a causal fan who comes here to vent. what a loser.
Rip Mr. Roger Mayweather.
Never be forgotten 💯💯
kinda weird interviewing a man about his ass whoopings.
It is what it is!
lfmao
Lol for real
😂
Not really bruh
Great fighters have hands and legs. Legends have chin and heart
I think that combination of special attributes, seperates the great boxers like Chaves, from the rest.
😂
Skills to
💯💯💯💯
And Legends have all four.💯🥊👑
"I had him the first time"??he knocked you out in the 2nd rd. Wtf you talking about??
Vic Chavez probably cuz he hurt chavez with right cross in first round, but obviously he recovered quickly & ko’d roger in 2nd rd.
Yea he hit Chaves pretty clean.
@@j-cee1021 easy work for Chavez but nonetheless, big respect for the OG black mamba RIP BIG HOMIE.
@Tana 2x for real. Maybe it's the crack he used to smoke with Frankie randall lol
He was talking about one hard punch
How could he say he thought he had him..when Chavez knocked him out in the 2nd round..lol
because you hit someone with your hardest punch and that person does not go down. Then yes he thought he had him. THE KEY WORD IS THOUGHT. Obviously admitting that he didn't have him because of his strong chin!
+Darryl Flinch Another white dude with his excuses...
Aurelio Casillas ? not understanding your comment.
Did you watch the fight? Mayweather was hitting with everything he got but chavez had a STONE chin and pretty much Mayweather had no chance with him.
Chavez finally ended it with a right cross
Darryl Flinch Chavez was better and had more skills than Mayweather, you're just mad because a Mexican defeated an American.
Aurelio Casillas I think you have an ENGLISH comprehension problem! I never said Mayweather SR was better than Chavez. REREAD my previous comments! Oh wait you may not understand! Mayweather Sr. was giving Chavez a compliment. Mayweather Sr. fought Chavez twice so he knows how good Chavez chin was. You really need to read slower so you can understand what I said!
BTW I can careless that a Mexican defeated an American. Last I saw Mayweather JR. BEAT every single Mexican which included Canelo Álvarez, Juan Manuel Márquez, Oscar De La Hoya Mexican American, José Luis Castillo, Jesús Chávez, Gregorio Vargas, Felipe Garcia, and Roberto Apodaca! However right now my favorite boxer is Canelo and so I can careless what you think! If Mayweather jr fights again he will be my favorite currently fighting!
People forgot that Roger was holding his own in the second Chavez fight but back then Chavez was just unstoppable
Chavez went 89 and 0
I’ll take chavez as a amateur fighter also
@@kurpa415tony2 wym chavez is no amateur
At that time he was an amateur
@Tana 2x Chavez never fought a 15 round fight.
He fought cab drivers
it is hard to talk about a loss, these fighters had heart and they both knew how to give and receive punches,
I think Roger is still knocked out, doesn't make sense.
😂
xZ Zx ahahahahahahahahahahaha
xZ Zx 😁😁😂😂😂good one man
Lmfao
xZ Zx I think those hits are catching up to him. Meldrick Taylor is in a much worse condition.
Roger Mayweather doesn't want to admit that he lost to Chavez.
theyr always like that
No, he simply said that Chavez had an iron chin...and will.
Which* And no, it isn't.
an*
Luis Espinoza and Jose Hernandez did you guys even watch the video? Dude was saying how strong of a chin Chavez had. The question was what do you remember most about your fight with Chavez? He said that he wouldnt go down and that he had a strong chin. Also said that he was the toughest fighter and that he had a lot of heart.
Guys- you need to watch the video before commenting!~
chavez not only had a chin but he was a fkn murderous puncher with BOTH hands!!!
yeah, it wasnt even crazy knockout power, but heavy enough to be weary of, and man did he let those hands go in every direction and angle he could find an opening to
you are right , he would knock you out with both hands. he hit harder with his left and he harder with his right
but you know, respect to roger. he speaks the truth
And he cut the ring off better than anyone in his time . Slowed you down with liver shots too.
Joey Gonza How do you think chavez/duran plays out at 135?
Respect for Roger he respects a LEGEND
How can he say that chavez wasnt the hardest fighter he ever fought if he got knocked down by him chavez was the best in world at those times
He said that because he meant he wasn't the best fighter he fought and he wasn't Pernell Whitaker was the best fighter Roger fought and beat Chavez but they robbed him and gave it a draw but obviously the JC fight would have been tough.
"Hardest" can mean physical rock punches, doesn't mean he wasn't the toughest.
@@THISISLolesh Lol Whittaker was a dirty cheater. Go back and watch that fight. Nothing but low blows from Whittaker. He should feel lucky that he was given a draw and not a disqualification.
Well rocky lockridge knocked him out in the 1 round
@@JoRgEChavez-to2xd Chavez threw plenty of low blows himself, some so hard that BOTH of Whitaker's feet left the ground. Especially in the 4th and 5th. Whitaker was landing low blows in the 6th.
He still has that scar on his lip when Chavez socked him .
Hater
😂😂😂
Respect to the man... hes respected the game of boxing and the boxing community respects him back
Agreed, he was an incredible fighter. In his day Chavez was the toughest and most durable fighter I have seen so far. He always got stronger in the later rounds and could take an inhuman amount of punishment without even flinching.
No matter what anyone says Chavez record speaks for itself
Record not resume he fightin bums left and right up and down
@@mikeenzo7931 just like mayweather fans say, a wins a win 🤷♂️
@@rafaellopez2162 he has losses on his record 50-0 TBE
@@rafaellopez2162 Floyd fought everybody and literally has the greatest resume in the sports history. Stop being an insecure Mexican lol. Chavez 89-0 was built of Mexican taxi drivers, Literally.
@@ritzkola2302 Floyld literally fought washed up champions, inexperienced fighters or nobodies, mf almost got knocked out by an old shane mosley and got nearly bleed to death with the “drunken” boxer💀 sucker punched his way to a win with Ortiz, Maidana got robbed,
I hate how mayweather jr brags about his 17 years undefeated with only 55 fight come in that's it in almost 18 years! And he want to be the best ever? Chaves was undefeated 13 years with 90 fights!!! 89-0-1 fought anybody no matter what! Didn't put on a show neither show if his money or put drama in the sport of boxing only went for one thing and that thing was to fight! Now that's a true champion
floyd is a sucker he never calls out fighters he never risk his belts with potential fighters because he knows that would be his last day he just wants play sure, in conclusion floyd is a pussy champion, champion, but pussy he chickened out vs manny.
He like I'll admit it he can fight but "smart" wich is boring to the fans I just don't like his fights but all well he's got like 3 more fights I think till he retires and I Wounder who is going to be the number one pound for pound fighter
You must be joking! Chaves fought everybody in the division he was on didn't ducked nobody even knock this fool oonce and made him quit the second time
YEAH ITS EASY BEING 89 AND 0 WHEN YOU FIGHT TOMATO CANS DEONTAY WILDER AND IM NOT SAYING THAT JCC CANT FIGHT BUT WHEN YOURE 89 AND 0 THE ONLY REAL THREAT CAME FROM WORLD CHAMPS HE DIDNT BEAT 89 WORLD CHAMPS ANYBODY WITH A RECORD LIKE THAT HAS FOUGHT A MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE OVER AND OVER AGAIN GUYS HE DISMANTLED EASILY JUST LIKE WITH SUGAR RAY ROBINSON ATG BUT HE FOUGHT ALOT OF GUTS HE ALREADY BEAT
Donny Jones he did fight alot of unknowns but they were all pro boxers. How would you do against a pro boxer? Main thing is he ducked nobody. Im sure you know whats been going on recently, lots of champions thinking its duck season!
When roger said" MF had a chin"
you know It means the man had inhuman toughness.
Rest in peace - great coach and fighter
Chavez could box though which people fail to look at. He had good skills thats what made chavez great.
ray rudis yeah Chavez was an excellent boxer but people don't usually appreciate his style because they see him as a slugger but in reality he has very good technique and accuracy
And power dude, hello??
It's crazy how Roger and Floyd Sr fought great fighters like Chavez and Sugar Ray.... yet Floyd Jr only fights ancient fighters and bums, and people worship him for it. And also, Roger really didn't ''go to war'' with Chavez.. both fights were totally one sided... Roger got beat to death in both fights.
***** Fool go check boxing honours and see who has the better record.
***** are you stupid ? floyd jr only fights guys that are not even close to his level floyd fights fucking newbs
uuuuuuuggghhh.......have u heard of Diego Corrales, Jose Castillo, Jesus Chaves, Emanuel Agustus, Zab Judah, Juan Marquez, and Canelo Alvarez? Are you calling these guys bums and ancient fighters when Floyd fought these guys?......."u dont know shit about boxing"( Roger's voice)
***** That's an immature comment
Your right he whoop his ass but he still did last him a long time and imean i wouldnt go for a second against him he had balls
I think we need subtitles the next time Roger gets interviewed lol
Chavez has a chin
Tony Griffiths nigga be punch drunk
Tony Griffiths for real, thats what i thought also
I don’t think even the interviewer knows what’s he’s saying lol hows he supposed to add subtitles
I can't understand he's still knocked out
Love his honesty I hate seeing fighters bad mouth previous opponents cool seeing him give Chavez his dues
Man had a hell of a chin but even though he went 88-0 and went 89-0-1 his record was a little tainted by the bums he fought he was fighting people with losing records and people making there pro debut and he like 55-0
budfr Agreed. That was thrown at Chavez when he was undisputed no.1 pound-for-pound by the biased US fight media who took against him because he wasn't American and didn't speak English. They were desperate for an US fighter to beat him. Fact is Chavez, like most Latin-Americans had virtually no amateur career (Whitaker and Mayweather jr had hundreds of fights) and essentially learnt his trade as a teenage pro. Many of his early opponents may have been no great shakes but Chavez was likely giving away a lot of years and experience to them, so it's swings and roundabouts. Mike Tyson, who was an accomplished amateur fought a lot of "bums" early on but nobody ever mentions this, somehow. Roger gives Chavez grudging respect for his "great chin", which seeing as he was brutally KO'd in their first fight and beaten down second-time around is the very least he could do! He "had to have something" apparently or "he'd would get knocked out all the time". What an idiot! I've seen fighters with a better chin than Chavez who had vastly less success. Fact is a great chin was just ONE of his many assets. Roger, as a very experienced top-class pro and now trainer should really know this. He sounds bitter that he lost to a much better fighter, simple as. First fight he landed some big shots early in the second round but Chavez started throwing big counters as Roger punched and pulverized him. Second fight he was 10lbs heavier, more solid, experienced and knew Chavez was dangerous. He took less risks and lasted 9 rounds but, let's face it he was battered in that fight.Like many US fighters/trainers/analysts he also thinks great defence is exclusive to boxers fighting off the back foot, moving and swaying away from shots - the Ali model I guess. It is virtually impossible to attack relentlessly (like Chavez) without getting hit. But he had a great defence, just a different style.
Donte Burgess Chavez fought bums? Many times it's very difficult to get a win over a tough club fighter in his hometown with out the KO, and many of those guys ARE tough. When you are not an Olympic golden boy that is where you must start. Just ask Hagler, he was robbed twice in Philly early in his career. I also disagree that Roger was giving Chavez his due. He will only admit that he had a great chin. Chavez brutally KOd him the second round of their first fight, and made him quit on his stool in the second fight. He was a lot more than a slugger with a great chin.
Yes I liked that too
Roger fought with his heart both fights didnt run much and lost with pride #salute #respect
Ur absolutely right, I've witnessed Mexican boxers with talent & mastery of boxing. Some include: Juan Manuel Marquez, Ruben Olivares, Julio Cesar Chavez, Marco Antonio Barrera, Ricardo Lopez, Salvador Sanchez, Vicente Saldivar, Israel Vazquez, Roberto Duran, Gilberto Roman, Jose Napoles ( Latino ), and Carlos Monzon ( Latino ). I study boxing thoroughly.
This man is a legend for being 💯. Takes a real man to look past everything and speak it how it is. RESPECT
Chavez is one of the greatest boxers of all time period the end do not debate it the man was an awesome fighter
Now whether u like him or not is a different story
His record speaks
And his footage speaks
The guy was a stalker in the ring he stalked his prey some what like GGG does
Never backed down fought the best lost some never got knocked out knocked down once lost to De LaHoya from cuts and Kosta I believe Kosta did TKO him but this was an old Chavez and he did have substance abuse problems by that time sadly
Julio is simply one of the greatest in the sport of boxing
Pacquiao n Chavez great boxers Muhammad Ali to n Rocky
Great interview. Roger fought everybody. Excellent.
El grand campeon Mexicano🇲🇽,...."Julio Cesar Chavez"🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽!!!!!!!!!
Rip brother 🇲🇽
Rest In Peace Mamba!
"I dropped Whitaker, Chavez that motherfucker would just take it" LOL I could listen to Roger speak all day
I remember as a kid listening to the radio ads being ran that Chavez was in town and looking for sparring partners. Commentator warned even holding back Chavez’ punches were like getting side blinded by a freight train. Not sure if he ever got those volunteers to spar with him 🤣
I heard Chavez say in an interview in Spanish that Roger hit him with The hardest punch he ever got hit with in his career .
Never hear Chavez saying that
lol roger acting like he hurt chavez lmao
He did in the second fight . JCC said it himself.
Jack Ridge He did But like roger said he had an iron chin
Jack Ridge but who won?
@@joeygonzo your 100 right about that
@@oscarvasquez1434 What kind of stupid question is that ?
Did he knock you out with his chin too?
Facts Chavez had a little of everything and to much of a heart and in his prime he never back down from no one great fight between Roger Mayweather and Chavez
Bahahaha
Chavez was a strong puncher as well.
I always did like Roger as a fighter. He wasn't afraid of anyone and fought his heart out. What a fight that would be if Chavez were in his prime today and fought Floyd (If they were the same size). The best defensive fighter of all time vs the toughest fighter of all time. That would be an interesting matchup for sure. The biggest problem would've been getting Floyd to take the fight. He most likely would've avoided fighting a fighter like Chavez
how can anyone refer to Chavez as just a brawler? Chavez knew boxing, he had amazing control, he always worked the body and watched them crumble in the later rounds. some people are just gonna hate.
Chavez in his prime kos floyd like he did his uncle hands down.
Nope
@@peewee7848 exactly. Chavez is a legend but his style is magenfor floyd to out point. Duran might be another story however
Edward Escobedo Chávez in his prime would ko floyd, what you on about 😂
Edward Escobedo Floyd robbed pacquiao.. and yes Chávez and Floyd were better than Oscar. But Floyd wouldn’t beat Chávez
Edward Escobedo idk about that man but I can guarantee you that prime Oscar and Floyd wouldn’t have beat prime Julio
He didn't want to admit his ass got whooped
The longer Roger tells this story, he'll be kicking Julio ass in the end
How you racist fuck?
One year ago, I was probably trying to say Roger was stretching the truth, which is Julio beat him down
+chucknchar T So you weren't saying Roger was better than Julio?
Aurelio Casillas who the fuck responds a year later
I thank God for allowing me to enjoy Roger Mayweather
He will always be classic. "RIP".
Whats more amazing about chavez is how sharp he is still after taking all those hits to the head through out his career on top of that the heavy drug use he fall into, he sounds like a guy who never fought in his life, you know how most boxers stutter and pause in a sentence because they cant think clearly in interviews like roger, not chavez that guy is a special breed, alot of boxers from his time arent even around anymore sadly like rosario, camacho, pernal and more, its very depressing
Roger was good. So interesting to see old fighters still hurting from their losses decades ago
Roger was one of my favorite fighters also. He could crack.
never can destoy chavez in his prime and his weight, he destroy souls and bodys of any race boxer, period
I ain't gon lie roger was throwing some deadly ass str8 rights but Chavez chin must b made of fuckin diamonds

Broly Banderas lol wtf? how do u associate ANY of what this dude just said with his political stance? LOL. I swear people are fuckin morons.
Mayweather humility goes a LONG WAY..... let me tell you lol
What a great fighter's we had back in the 80s and 90s.
Chavez had a great chin. And many other qualities!
RIP Roger. 🥊
he says Chavez wasn't the hardest opponent, he made this fool quit in their second fight!
Miss those kind of fights
The only people who know about boxing are the people who have trained and stepped in a ring to fight!!
sean muniz so true. Wish more people on this comment section stepped in the ring at least once.
That superman punch from chavez 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤩
Going to war????? He got caked in 2 rounds. You mean bowing down to Chavez. lol.
The second fight was a good fight, it went 10 rounds.
Lost both times. Mayweather's lose. They just mastered Floyd jr's management with Ellerbee.
thomas brown Kostya not black fyi. lol
thomas brown You have to understand that there´s always someone better than one. Those you mention were defeated also. The fact is that Julio Cesar Chavez was a great fighter and so were the champions he fought. By the way Chavez never cross the border getting his back wet he had his visa and passport. Sorry if it hurts but Julio Cesar Chavez will be considered a legend, not the same for Kotsya Tsyu or Randall
Don't forget his hands, cause he didn't knock out 86 opponents with his chin now, did he. 107W, 86 KOs, 6L, 2D.
Mr Roger Mayweather it was not only his chin, do you forgot about all the punches you got both nights? not the hardest fighter you ever face?? what about the stunning knockout in first fight? and what about the fact that you had to quit in the second fight because you had enough of Chavez, you looked distroyed. lack of humility is all i can sense from your words. Still i think you were a very good boxer there's no doubt about it.
Max Valenzuela mexicans
Roger had what it took to go head to toe to toe. He didnt run like his nephew.
Roger said that he fought fighters better than Chavez? I want to know who? Who are these guys and how can they possibly be better than Chavez? Roger is making no sense and it his pride talking, not his honesty!
You are correct. Roger did fight Whitaker, and Roger lost by unanimous decision. It's just difficult to agree with Roger when you see the list of fighters that he fought, and then he claims that some were tougher than Chavez. It's as if he doesn't want to admit that he got his teeth kicked in by Chavez.
First he says Chavez is the toughest, then he cliams he faced toughest fighters than Chavez.... bipolar?
Raul Gonzalez
right, and he quit on Chavez lmao
I agree
Give it a rest guys. He gave him his props. Roger was an awesome fighter himself. You don’t get to be that good by praising your opponents freely. The opposite is true. You must believe you yourself are invincible.
Roger ain’t ever lied.
I saw an interview where Chavez admitted that he got caught with a right hand and was basically out on his feet when they fought the first time, but Roger Mayweather did not realized he was that hurt and could not follow up, or maybe was afraid to get caught which eventually happened in the second round round.
I think what made Chavez good was his body work. With both hands. Not only did it open things up for the head, but he hit Hard to the body. He was vicious to the body. Fuckin' BRUTAL!
Chavez was also great at slippin punches to land those body shots
Sounds like a bitter man hahaha. Chavez was technical, and savvy in the ring. And if you don't think so. You don't know shit about boxing. Watch "cintura de goma" on here. Great video that focuses on chavez defensive ability.
87 wins winning streak is a really good accomplishment. Even tho he was inactive for 3 years and did cocaine,liquor,weed and still came back and lost he still fought like 10 more times and avenged his loss exept to oscar.
Chavez's Spanish sounds like more coherent English than Roger's English.The Mayweather clan lacks neurons.
Lmmfao
I have noticed that almost in every American boxing gym there are US and Mexico flags next to each other; the 2 world boxing powers together. Nice.
war with Chavez?
more like a train wreck with Chavez.
I luv Roger great fighter and I watch his last fight in Portland Oregon
chavez was the best for his time,,he fought a different time than hagler,hearns and ray,,,,plus he knocked out roger, and he was better than de la hoya,,canelo,,
+Marty Mar think about all the rounds he fought before fighting De La Hoya and you'll understand why he had aged. You can look at BHOP now he's still fighting at 50 but, the difference is BHOP began fighting much later in life. Plus, all the coke and party life Chavez had wasn't any help either.
+Marty Mar Racist detected
Marty Mar ...no Mexicans would never embrace a bitch ass Mayweather style...Mexicans can Box and be technical...but when Pride and Honor ( not in the maywweathers vocab) is on the line....we brawl toe to toe like a true warrior....but its understanding that many people dont like or appreciate the style because they have no clue or would never have the balls to fight like that...Morales ...Marquez...Barrerra...great boxers and brawlers when they turn that switch mode ON...Marquez 2nd best to Chavez..followed by Morales and Finito Lopez.
E Cervantes - I partially agree with you been P.R., but boxing is more than just style, it requires skills and when a boxer can make you miss and outscore you in the process it merits recognition. It doesn't make a fight as exciting as a toe to toe brawl, but it takes skills to impose your style and win.
Floyd is from Mexico
I love Roger man. I see his face light up speaking about good chins in regard to boxing and it is a admiration for grit and the willibgness to deal in the face of danger. RIP CHAMP
Why does both ex mayweather boxers sound so hard to understand them? Not being mean I respect them. But my question is the why?
Kever salas wow racist bastard
Javier Lopez THEY NEVER WHEN TO SCHOOL
YosoyM3NCHY thanks man.
Have a guess you dumbfuck.
In case you couldn't figure it out it's because they got hit in the head for a living.
good question chris ..thumbs up
I just saw the 2nd fight, Roger is right, Chavez stood strong behind that chin allowing him to throw and land fearlessly.
Racist fuck detected
SikNasty what about thw first figjt my nigga?
what is racist about what he said?
he literally explained how he knocked him out in his comment, you dont have much reading comprehension do you?
JCC was scary in his prime. He clearly recognized him. GG
mumbling Mayweather my god.
If fans were to actually study some of the top mexican prospects and especially the great mexican champs I've mentioned, they'd see that these men had mastered the fundamentals of the sport. Mastery of fundamentals leads to superiority of boxing skills. These men were master boxers. Where they separate themselves from other countries is the fact that they have choose to use their supreme skills and display them by FIGHTING. People tend to forget that BOXING, at the end of the day, IS A FIGHT.
Always stupid comments on RUclips and most eventually gravitate towards race, its sickening.
Lol people on RUclips usually are uneducated, can't take it too serious . Just gotta scroll past it
Wheres the racism??
Live In Light Roger you WILL be missed bruh. April 24, 1961 - March 17, 2020. You boxing with the greats now bruh.
After fighting wIth JC Chavez, he forgot who was his hardest opponent😆😂
I don't remember him talking like that before he fought Chavez. Please add subtitles, thanks.
War? Fairy ran the whole fucking fights what war? lol
His nephew unbeatable
He couldn't say something different hahahaha! He can't say "aaah he bit me up" hahaha! Funny! He says he wasn't the harder guy he ever fight hahaha and Chavez win him 2 times haha!
Og Roger Mayweather would of been nice to get an autograph from just a legend.
hey yo roger have you seen yourself the videos of you vs chavez? it seems to me that it was a hard fight for you 'cause, even though you were running like chicken without a head all over the ring (now we know where floyd jr got it from) you could not handle chavez punches.
he didn't want to admit Julio was the hardest he hesitated
Great vid as always bro!!
You may want to study fights of Miguel Canto,Salvador Sanchez, and Ricardo Lopez for starters, and you'll see that mexicans have MUCH SKILL. They're 3 of the prettiest fighters you'll ever see. Also, study a prime Julio Cesar Chavez and notice his skills in the arts of self-defense notice his use of parries, the bob&weave,slipping punches and countering. Watch his ability to block punches with his elbows and catch them on backside of his gloves. This is what boxing is all about---SKILLS.
Roger a true legend period library of boxing
Mexican & African American Boxers are such a joy to watch. Power & Pride vs Speed & Timing.
It was emotional for him to say if I had a chin like Chavez….. that was epic….
As a big chavez fan that first fight with roger was the only time ONLY TIME a prime chavez was ever hurt by a shot roger shook my dude good ...salud to all the greats of the past
Maybe more background sound, for the next video?
These are two giants walking the earth ..
How would you describe or compare Pernell Whitaker's approach to Roger Mayweather's approach to fighting Chavez?
Rip Roger! You were a beast! Thank you for giving us the fights with the greatest Mexican fighter ever! The surgeon julio
Roger was a true bad ass and I rang the black mamba really enjoyed watching him actually got to meet him in person and get his autograph got to watch them fight in person just a unique interesting style and a dangerous puncher
