Two times a fractured jaw. One time dislocated another jaw. Broke some ribs and fracture one eye socket. In 9 defenses. In my knowledge no other boxer of any weight had this record ever. The king of punchers.
I go with hearns. And also Leonard had underrated punching power.
He must be the most powerful puncher the welterweight division has ever seen. Very solid and goes right through you.
I still say hearns hit harder.
As Howard Cosell said, Cuevas and Leonard had agreed to fight May 16,, but Cuevas fought Tommy Hearns instead, and everything changed...
Very good fight, and credit to Pipino, but man South Africa made some teak tough fighters. Bryan Mitchell's one of the best to ever lace them up. Thank you for the upload.
When Pipino Cuevas was the Welterweight King! Pipino could punch and had power, but if he knew how to box and had great defense Cuevas would have been a greater champion!
Fue un Gran Campeón ¡¡¡¡¡
Realmente Pipino Cuevas puede considerarse uno de los mejores boxeadores mexicanos en la historia, bastante subestimado por sus derrotes pero en 12 defensas del campeonato mundial se demostro su poder al noquear a casi todos sus rivales y romperles la mandibula, en aquellos tiempos se pudieron haber echo peleas muy interesantes como una unificacion con carlos palomino, la super pelea con sugar ray leonard, un combate con floyd mayweather sr. o por que no una pelea contra mantequella napoles juventud vs experiencia, Un saludo.
I was surprised a guy with a good win ratio was a contender with only 4 KO’s but he lasted much longer than I expected against Pepino, who has one punch KO power in both hands. Hats off to Volbrecht, he had courage, heart and came to fight and fought his best until the KO.
Cuevas v Leonard would have been a good fight. I thought it was made and a date set. Couldn’t find out why they never fought. Anyone know.
En mi opinión es con mucho uno de los mejores boxeadores de México sembrando un verdadero terror en su reinado al grado que boxeadores como Ray Leonar en su mejor momento no quiso enfrentarse con el pero por desgracia para el cuado decayó su talento no supo retirarse a tiempo y se desprestigio con peleadores de mucho más bajo nivel
Es por ello que se devaluaron sus méritos como supercampeon.
Leonard como espectador, estaba esperando el turno de Thomas Herans...quizas el podia haber peleado antes que Thomas..pero estaba bastante asustado y especulo con aquel combate que ganaria despues Hearns.Te queremos Pipino y nunca has dejado de ser grande.Saludos desde Argentina.
Leonard would've beat him badly.
Those were some true warriors 15 rounds with 6 ounces gloves thang
8 lol
Hearns laid out Cuevas like a baby about to go to bed . Mexicans were Hearns favorite toys🤣🤣🤣🤣
So I met Harold last night at his gym,I am not sure how old he is but he is still sharp. I had brought the kid my I le is training for some lessons.
Harold is a good teacher, I’d advice every boxer to train with him at least once.
Pipino Sugar, la pelea que no fue, Pipino peleaba a la mexicana, un grande mas le tocaron los mas grandes. Gran campeón.
why did this fight never take place?
It's a damn shame he had to get Thomas Hearns next. I was looking forward to seeing more of the same from PC
The guy was a murderous puncher it he can reach ya you can see Ray blazing him up though
Cuevas was a lot like Mike Tyson: Awesome power, magnificent Title Reign & slow sad decline. Too bad he didn't fight the other greats in his prime. Harold Volbrecht was a good fighter who got his W.B.A. title shots seven years apart as first, a young prospect and then, as an seasoned veteran, unfortunately.
In his prime? He was absolutely in his prime when Hearns destroyed him.
@@Jonathan-pp3du you are correct. And that's what ruined him. He was never the same after that fight. Before the fight, Cuevas has this aura about him. A pure banger. He was absolutely nuts to go to that All - Black Cobo arena in downtown Detroit. I love re-watching that fight. Hearns had a reach like a Heavyweight. No joke. I still think if Cuevas would've connected with one of his atomic bombs, history might be different. The reach was just too much for Cuevas and years later, Duran. Hearns was a freak.
Thanks for the video, COACHSTROUT'S CLASSIC BOXING
Viva pipino cuevas!
Great fighter, great upload
He still is a mexican icon I was so humble and respectful I wish canelo had some of that. It's like nobody like him not even in his own country
Canelo takes care of himself. He’s fought great fighters. Though I I think he lost to ggg in the first fight, he deserves mad respect.
I have always been in the middle ground with Cuevas. He started young and had numerous loses before he turned 18. He did develop after winning the title and beat some good fighters, Weston; Gray, Shields, Ranzany. With al that being said and with all due respect, I feel he was overrated at the elite level. Thomas Hearns proved this and I would have picked Leonard, Duran, before the Hearns fight, and Benitez all to beat him. He did have great power but had limited skills outside of that. Part of the problem was the fact that he won a championship at a young age before he could develop. Still as I mentioned, he did beat some good fighters and should be proud of all he accomplished.
Patrick Verona I feel that the lack of defensive skills of pipino cuevas was his downfall. That being said I think the stats are also undeniable with 11 title defenses and a championship reign that lasted over for years something neither hearns, Benitez, or even Duran as great as they were can claim at welterweight. (Duran at lightweight is a different story). When pipino lost to hearns its was just his time even thought he was only 22 all those years of defending the title took a told on him and facing a hungry ultra skillful hearns didn't help. But without a doubt he deserves to be in the conversation of welterweight greats.
You could even say he had a puncher's chance with any of the elite if he could land against any of them. Hearns definitely exposed him though. Cuevas is one of my favorite boxers to watch.
Patrick Verona I’d say more like he got a much need hype job rather than being over rated.
This was to make a fight with Leonard or Hearns more lucrative and make the victory more meaningful for whoever beat him.
I was a huge boxing fan in my teens when Pipino ruled but I never saw him fight. He wasn't a TV fighter until this appearance. I used to read The Ring religiously and their descriptions of his devastating power made me believe he had more than a puncher's chance against the best in the division. When I saw this fight, all of that changed. I knew he wouldn't stand a chance against Leonard, Hearns or Duran. Way too easy to hit and his punching power was derived from long, slow looping arcs. Sugar Ray would have handled him easy and I knew Hearns would destroy him. The only fighter he had a chance to survive against was Duran because Roberto wasn't a natural welterweight. Roberto showed several years later Pipino would have never lasted more than a few rounds with Duran at his peak in 1980. A nice guy and a good puncher but he was never a great fighter.
@@elchivato8147 This fight took place in April so it would have been unrealistic for Cuevas to make a title fight against Leonard in 4 weeks time like they were saying.
Not surprisingly negotiations for their fight broke down & Leonard opted to fight Duran a couple of months later.
Does anybody know why that May 16th 1980 fight between Leonard and Cuevas never happened and Leonard ended up fighting Duran instead while Cuevas ended up fighting Hearns?
The WBC made good on their threat/ demand for Leonard to face Duran.....It was all about $$$.....Also Duran was on a roll and was considered #1 P4P in the world.....Leonard was the people's favorite.....That equals huge MONEY
@@lemankurtz8950 I thought Leonard cherry picked Duran
Destiny step in the way
Angel espada 3 times. Why? The welterweight division was really lacking until duran and benitez moved up and the emergence of leonard and hearns. It went from one of the worst divisions to one of the best. .
Watching Cuevas when he was champion was like going to that big parking lot in Saudi Arabia where on weekends they behead criminals.
i dont even know that this Volbrecht guy was southpaw, just like Corrie Sanders he train years after
I think Pipino could be the most powerful welterweight puncher of all time.
Ask Tommy hearns
@@alvilla9659 Hearns wasnt a bone breaker like Cuevas.. Cuevas punched ALOT harder than Hearns.
hearns was just a better boxer
@@OldSchoolStrength that guy quit. I still say hearns hit harder. And Leonard had underrated punching power.
thank you. great stuff
A Chaves le pasó lo mismo que a cuevas cuado perdió con Randall apartir de Ai ya no fue el mismo
Eran otras circunstancias, JC Chavez tuvo un pequeño tropiezo (eso también le sucede a los mas grandes de todos los tiempos) llegando al declive de carrera a sus 32 años con 90 peleas invicto y 5 títulos mundiales antes de enfrentar a Randall.
Pipino Cuevas estaba empezando a llegar a la cima de su carrera con apenas 22 años y 32 peleas al enfrentarse contra la cobra Hearns mandandolo al declive muy pronto y 3 años después Duran le gana por KO, desde ahí Pipino ya no fue el mismo y siguió acumulando mas derrotas en peleas sin titulo en juego y con rivales mas faciles.
Chavez es leyenda! fue el mejor de su generación y es el # 5 mejor de la historía del boxeo.
Jose Pipino Cuevas was a great fighter. He lacked good defense and boxing skills. He fought Tommy Hearns in his own back yard and even Hearns stayed away from the ropes and Pipinos' s left hook. If Pipino had good defense and boxing skills he might have KOd Tommy Hearns that is how hard he hit!
Hearns " destroyed" Cuevas pretty easily!.
@@BAYBOSSMAN Pipino was a great champion with a big punch. But it is you who do not know anything. Pipino Cuevas was easy to hit and left himself open. That cost him later in his fight against Tommy Hearns. Pipino was not a boxer and did not have good defense or Boxing skills. He had a big left hook, but that is all he had. If he had good or better defense and boxing skills he would have been a greater champion.
Pipino was a great puncher, but Tommy Hearns completely destroyed him with his lightning speed, superior reach, and ferocious punching power. I don’t believe that Pipino would ever have had a chance with Tommy.
México es cuna de campeones y debe uno hablar con mucho respeto de cada campeón mexicano y apreciar su gran esfuerzo.Pipino Cuevas se levantó prácticamente de la nada pues antes de que le dieran la oportunidad de campeonato perdió con Andy Price y le ganó a Ángel Espada que era un gran boxeador. PIPINO serio y callado sin escuela técnica logró hacer una gran carrera y logró interesar en Usa y en varias partes del mundo porque era capaz de noquear de un sólo golpe fue admirado por grandes boxeadores.Todo tiene un principio y un final y planearon bien arrebatarle su campeonato que defendió bastantes veces,Yo estoy cierto que le pagaron una gran bolsa (Para ese tiempo)Y prepararon a Hearns que por su tamaño no daba el peso welter ni cortandole las patas,perdón por la expresión pero Hearns en los pesos en que peleaba siempre llevaba ventaja. Subió a peso medio y vean su corpulencia parecía semipesado,se encontró con el maravilloso Hagler que le aguantó la pegada y lo noqueo dejándolo en calidad de costal de papas a Hearns lo que se le podía reconocer es que a pesar de su mandibula de cristal logró una buena carrera.Pipino fue y es un grande del boxeo de México que logró que el mundo del boxeo volteara para ver la calidad y carisma de los boxeadores mexicanos.Yo que lo vi pelear a el a Zárate a Zamora Chiquita González Pintor siento un gran orgullo y hubiera estado muy buena una pelea con Leonard .Ya cuando peleó con Durán y algunos otros iba de salida. Por cierto las dos peleas que sostuvieron Leonard y Durán se me figuraron un tango sobre todo la segunda en la que le dieron calambres en el estómago a Durán que ahí mancho su carrera y después perdió con Hearns de fea manera. Pipino Cuevas un grande cómo cada campeón que ha tenido MÉXICO.
Con todo respeto yo siempre e pensado que en sus buenos tiempos de pipino cuevas Roberto Duran no hubiera podido ganarle aunque yo siempre quise que Duran le hubiera ganado a shugar Ray Leonard bueno la primer pelea la ganó Roberto Duran a Leonard
Unfortunately Ray ducked and gave it off to Hearns, who unfortunately for Cuevas, was dismantled by a future champion.
Ray would have outboxed Cuevas easily he was only a raw puncher with little defensive skill
The background of that was wbc forced Leonard to fight Duran because of politics.
@@JL-bz9hi I agree
WHERE IS PIPINO AND CO.....?
Una pelea contra Leonard hubiera sido un peleón de pipino lástima que no se realizó
Si viera Sido una ora dura si sedan cuenta Pipino en ese tiempo se miraba más maciso
Lo que pasa es que los americanos le quisieron quitar el trono a pipino poniéndole a un boxeador con más estatura alcance y peso.. en la figura de Thomas heards esa diferencia marco la perdida de pipino con ese boxeador... grande el Rey pipino cuevas
Tommy Hearns dijo que no mas una ves tuvo miedo en una pelea....esa fue contra Cuevas.
Lol 😂 ... foh!
@@ElPajaroMeaPrietasthey lied to you 😅😂
Volbrecht the winner in the hat, hair and mustache department
I didn’t know Leonard wanted to fight pipino but it would’ve been a great fight
They were supposed to but Cuevas took the Hearns fight and lost..
you must not no nothing about my unckle he lost Tommy And Still has more money than Him u sound like that othe Dumbass who said my unckle could not box
I don't think Sugar Ray Leonard wanted that fight after witnessing that power Pipino Cuevas was off balance and knocked Volbrect out
@@myrontaylor1150 leonard beat all fab 4 what is pipino
Jose Barreras there is no way anyone would take a Thomas Hearns fight over a Sugar Ray Leonard fight at that time.
Pipino had a gold tooth nobody knew about because he never smiled...Espada was looking for an easy defense and Cuevas ko'd him in 2 then broke all kinds of speed bags and jaws and eye socket was it Harold"s? Fighting pros at 15 took him 4 years to win his 1st decision,Mexicans have that left hook gene.....number 31 on Ring's hardest punchers
Palomino would have beaten Cuevas IMO.
Volbrecht, no punch at all. One of the weaker punchers I have ever seen for a fighter to get a title shot.
Amazing how Cuevas could go through the division like a hot knife through butter and be so far below the top fighters.
Pipino manos de piedra
Does anyone know the name of the song or the artist that played during the Pipino Cuevas intro
00:38
aunque hubiera llegado la pelea con sugar, muy difícilmente le hubiera o casi imposible, pero no llego y el que llego fue la cobra, que solo le basto 3 raunds para noquerlo.
