- Welcome back to boxing after dark in todays video we look at Julio César Chávez debut bout in USA against the slick and fast Roger Mayweather. In what was being told to be a big 50/50 bout between the pair for the WBC World Super Feather championship
- Zábava
Lil Floyd learned 3 great lessons from his uncle; 1-Dont fight ranked Mexicans in their prime, 2-Dont fight ranked Filipinos in their prime (they are just like Mexicans), 3; Promote yourself and only fight who you know you can absolutely without a doubt beat!!!!
Canelo?
😂😂😂
Imagine if Chavez was Ameeeeerican? Imagine how all the GOOD OLD BOYS would just LOVE him and how much more $$$$ Chavez would have??? But knowing the American way, they would ask Chavez to chance his last name to Chevelle and his 1st name to Jules. lol right???
That's what Canelo is doing now. He learned from Mayweather.
This 👏👏👏
I heard he fought opponent's every 2 months for 13 years.
No one is doing that now!
Give this great boxer his props!
Goat 🐐 ish
@@robhamilton4736 Tomato can in mexico is elite anywhere in the world. They produce 2nd most world champs after USA. And they were no doubt pressure fighters, no running and hugging
so was Devin Haney in Mexico
@@robhamilton4736let’s say your correct but look at his no tomato can fights nothing but great fighters and if you say they weren’t great ? Well that’s because he made them look like trash 🗑️
@@robhamilton4736 If he was fighting nothing but tomato cans, America only had tomato cans as well. He's the greatest - plain and simple.
Chavez was an absolute beast. One of the all time greatest boxers ever. 90 straight fights without a loss . 115 fights in total only 6 lost & 1 draw. Amazing career👍👍.
He had a stone head.😂😂😂 He tough af
He actually lost to Pernell Whitaker and Frankie Randall beat him at 89 wins before he lost
He didnt lose to whitker it was a draw @@williamdrayton7352
@@williamdrayton7352He was still way better than Floyd Mayweather ,and never ranned in the ring like a chicken
@@renevallejo1014 what Floyd Mayweather have to do with my statement
107-6-2 record with 86 knockouts, the man was a machine and arguably one of the top 10 fighters of all time.
No
Fought everybody and they momma . By far one of the greats. Unless we not counting Salvador. But it's a matter of perspective
Way better then Mayweathers

@@newagain9964yup
He defeated 19 world champs in the 3 belt era, thats like beating 27 today. He also has the #1 records for most title fights 37, most defenses 27 with 23 kos, first unified champion in 3 divisions, and only fightet to be crowned p4p 3 consecutive years.
Yet he rarely features in any conversation about all time greats.
Boxing fans now don't actually know s##t. The 80s and 90s were a golden age for boxing.
@@kingsrd1 The problem is that while Chavez is indeed an all time great, his resume is also littered with a lots of stiffs and struggled vs the top guys he faced. I am saying this and Chavez is one of my all time great fighters but the facts are the facts.
@@juliohernandez3323 ueah homie but he beat well known world champs. He never said no to anybody or cherry picked like other so called all time great like gayweather
89-0 😳🤯
Maybe not in all time great convo because he isn’t American. People will say he struggled against some competition ..everyone struggles a bit ..yet 89-0 🤯,but Floyd is 50-0 and is in all time great convo .(yet Julio 89-0)
Exactly what I'm saying, people overlook him for whatever reason, but todays boxers don't have the fights against worthy opposition, So that's no excuse.
Mayweather definitely deserves some credit, fought some great fighters earlier in his career, but also bolstered his record with easier opponents later on.
Chavez would've beat Floyd Mayweather too!
Chavez undoubtedly one of greatest fighters of all time in any weight category a real legend

Chavez was so good he actually reached for Mayweather's jaw and caught him..ty for your contributions to boxing Julio!
I saw Mr. Mayweather from time to time. Floyd’s gym is around the corner from my work. Both Rodger and Senior always took time to say hi to me. Rodger was a nice person very humble and sweet. May he RIP!
Jr was racist Roger train me and my brother very humble person he never tried to be fake he was real person not like Floyd.
That leap of a punch was amazing 🤩 that man was magic.
chavez was just a force of nature in his prime. Just kept coming and delivering.
El mas grande campeón que ha dado México y que muy difícilmente se volverá a ver EL GRAN CAMPEÓN MEXICANO ¡JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ!
Roger told me he told his corner, "You go out there and fight that mother f'er. I'm through!" LOL I loved Roger. He helped train me as an amateur and he was always good to me. RIP my brotha!

Mayweather hater’s have no dogs in a fight Floyd beat everyone they put in front of him and all the haters can say is Castillo beat him remember they had a rematch the first fight may was fighting one handed because he hurt his hand and Castillo wasn’t able to get him out of there that’s not mayweather fault all I can say is 50 and 0 respect the skills

Go and begg his as also to pay y'all's bills !
Julio was an iron man that hit accurately hard with both hands and never seemed to get tired or hurt. I've never seen good fighters wilt like they did when fighting him.

Was that Superman?
Vale la pena que también veas peleas de Salvador Sanchez
Respect to Roger what a warrior your contribution to boxing will live forever! Viva Mexico 🇲🇽 cabrones!
Great fight with one exception-constantly seeing Don King's smiling/corrupt face. The one thing that always scars these great fights from the past.
Julio not only was relentless pressure, he was hitting the opponent all the time. Julio had a chin of iron, Floyd hit him with shots that had KO’d other fighters and Julio walked through them. Chavez was in my top five Mexican warriors of all time.
Roger not Floyd
Yes ,Roger had power and long arms but julio found the way to break those walls to beat him .
Julio was great, but not the greatest. Pernell Whitaker defeated him, and that's a fact.
@@edsalazar8523 How did you feel when you corrected him, pretty dam good right, here's your for telling him it was "Roger not Floyd"
Chavez is revered by most Boxing historians but it’s crazy to imagine a time when he was a nobody and guys like Roger Mayweather and Hector Camacho were considered the superstars.
Rog was never considered a superstar.
Macho Camacho came after Chavez but I get your point
@@KandelaGC They were contemporaries but Camacho was before Chavez. Turned pro before Chavez and won his first world title before Chavez.
@@uncletony6210 he used to be on CBS boxing on the weekends frequently in 1982
This man Julio César Chávez Sr will always be remembered as a boxing goat and one of the greatest to ever lace em up. Not just by the proud Mexican community but by boxing fans worldwide.
Unfortunately his drug abuse, bad/unhealthy money spending habits and his wife almost divorcing him due to his bad habits was what had something to do with his downfall towards the end of his epic career. Not to take anything away from the skilled boxers that beat him during the end of his career. But no doubt a mentally and physically healthy Julio would have performed differently.
Chill he was celebrating 😂😂😅 he still has bread tf you mean
Most of them unknown taxi drivers from Mexico but outside Mexico Chavez career was not that impressive questionable wins against Whitaker got beaten twice by Randall, De la Hoya gave him a beaten...
Chavez was great . End of story.
@@Chris-ov1et yes he was.....in Mexico
@@matiasd.c9949that was all toward the end of his career. In his prime none of those bums would have beaten him. Your just an idiot. Greatest Mexican boxer ever. In his prime he was unbeatable!!
5:03 WOW!!! He put everything into that punch😮
Gave me chills when I seen that.
Basically a flying right hand. Amazing
Chavez is the most UNDERRATED champion in boxing HISTORY!!! Even if the first say, 50 guys, were tomato cans, to never have an "off night" for as long as he did, its UNPRECEDENTED and will NEVER happen again!!!
@natturner-xo2rb lol.. Mayweather is amazing you doofus... he also never fought NEARLY as many people as Chavez did, AND, Mayweather ISN'T underrated... again, you DOOFUS!
@natturner-xo2rb lol, just came back from cherry picking with him.
@natturner-xo2rbYour rebuttal is pointless because Floyd's career was pathetic once he became Money Mayweather. He fought his last fight against McGregor and considered it as the win to beat Marciano's record. He never cleaned out a whole division, never became undisputed. Go back to watching football because boxing is not for you 😂😂😂😂😂
@natturner-xo2rbsure but he also fought almost double mayweather fought.
@natturner-xo2rbChavez has 107 wins to Mayweather’s 50. Chavez has 86 knockouts which is 36 times more than Mayweather has fought. You can’t compare them
!! HAIL CESAR !! 🥊✊🏽🇲🇽✊🏽🥊💯
Was always excited to see Chavez fight, I knew he wasn't going to run. One of the most exciting fighters ever. He overstayed his visit in the ring. In his younger days he would have beat all the ones he lost to. But that's what happens in boxing. Mexicans call him la leyenda or the legend. Never saw him give a boring fight. Eres El campeon Chavez. Heart of a lion.
Under rated but all boxing fans know who’s the king of boxing Chavez!
That is a crazy stat, 90 fights without a loss. How is he not talked about as much as even Marciano?
He is talked about by core boxing fans.. the non mainstream acknowledgement of it confuses me too.
It’s the quality of opposition the first 40-50 fights were taxi drivers lol
@@Shad727It’s funny that everybody uses the taxi driver quote to talk about bums or unknown boxers
@@Shad727And who were Marciano’s first 30 opponents? Are we really gonna pretend you’re a big Johnny Shkor fan? Do you spend your days watching classic Phil Muscato fights and celebrating that great victory for Marciano? LOL
@@Shad727 he fought Martinez for a world title before his 40th fight. So that's bullshit.
Chavez probably has the most underrated DEFENSE of all time. His head movement was the stuff of legends. They kept trying to paint mayweather as the better "boxer" just because chavez was aggressive and came forward, but that's nonsense. Chavez was the more skilled boxer and it showed both times they fought.
Best inside fight game ever. What nobody talks about is how he used that left arm to block and parry to completely disarm and dismantle his opponents right side. Then you gotta worry about the hook coming for your head or liver less than a nano second?
Yes indeed
Mayweather was way past his prime and was mediocre at best as a fighter. He wasn't even a candidate for the HOF as a fighter. Stop it. They paddled his record with tomato cans & cab drivers. The sanctioning bodies allowed this because guess where they were located? IN MEXICO. Those same crooked sanctioning bodies allowed a fighter (JCC) with 80 plus professional fights, fight a fighter fresh out the amateurs ( Medrick Taylor) and Richard Steele STILL had to rescue JCC. That's still considered the biggest robbery in boxing history. If those sanctioning bodies allowed that fight to allow that fight to take place today, they be charged with attempted murder
One of the best records in pro boxing, yes he was defeated 6 times but after 106 fights. Not 50 but over 100 fights and he boxed and did not dance around the ring and win with mostly "points" but knockdowns!
Most of them unknown taxi drivers from Mexico but outside Mexico Chavez career was not that impressive questionable wins against Whitaker got beaten twice by Randall, De la Hoya gave him a beaten.....
@@matiasd.c9949 LMAO and whos career in that division was better, dont tell me Floyd Mayweather jr? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@roodine100 ..Floyd, Duran and Pacquiao went on to win belts in the 147 division Chavez couldnt even beat De la Hoya to join that club of the greatest light weights of all time
@@matiasd.c9949 Lets begin Floyd no knockout power, won by dancing and points did not beat De La Hoya Arum made sure of that avoided Pacquiao in his prime with ONLY 50 fights, lmao! Next Duran almost half of his wins were by knockout whereas Chavez almost 80%. and chickened out of the ring during the Leonard fight, please brother! De La Hoya only 45 fights nuff said! Where is the durability boys?!
@@roodine100 ..Chavez couldnt even win a belt at 140 pounds and join the club of the greatest light weights of all time which are Roberto Duran, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacman Pacquiao ROFLMAO Reality is Chavez record outside Mexico was not impressive questionable win against Whitaker, Lost two times against Randall, De la Hoya humiliated him in the ring
The real goat
This is the type of fight where the LDBC would say " Mayweather won that fight besides quitting on his stool"
Great! Love the Chavez knockout reel at the end too
Chavez destroyed that philly shell with overhand rights. Sweet since from the GOAT chavez.
Rodger didnt even use the philly shell in this fight. Casauls 😂😂😂😂
@hortinus must be a Mayweather fan, those fans live in fake reality. When pressured, he clearly defends with his lead hand protecting his stomach and his rear hand covering above it. 😂😂😂 Maybe watch the fight again, fan boy.
Why Chavez doesn't get credit on his defense? He was one the most efficient defense fighters; his defense would give him the split of second to counter attack with so much accuracy needless to say about his ring cutting foot work phenomenal.. I don't understand why trainers outthere haven't studied him in detail. He was no flashy on his foot and hand move- no big moves, and speaking of short and efficient moves hands and foot, he was in another level , and his body structure to strike always ready to punch with so much power from any angle. THE GOAT.
Maybe he's like Ali - you can't teach that, they have it or don't, Dundee basically said he taught Ali nothing
What a war that rematch was. Two great champions. And this video was awesome, great edit my friend.
Great Vid. Good to put things in perspective in the time period. Keep them coming.
RIP Rodger Mayweather
RIP uncle Roger
He deserves most of the credit for Floyd jr

Love this channel man
It pisses me off when someone says that Chavez wasn't the greatest Mexican fighter of all time...this guy fought everyone and didn't have fights once a year either...
Bcuz a lot haters he never ducked no one or ran 12 rounds
@@alejandrorojas2253 definitely! Chavez was a warrior! I mean, if someone goes like 89 and 0 with like 60 Kos how can people say he wasn't the best Mexican fighter of all time?

Glad to say i was there at this fight
Julio Cesar Chávez, único e inigualable boxeador Mexicano.
I always love your research, detailed breakdowns, great footage, and dramatic and poetic work! NOBODY does it better, B.A.D.!
You are looking at the real GOAT boxer. No one has been so dominant as Chavez was. Period!
@@Bullybulliez✊🏿🤡 Chavez had a higher KO ratio and only lost 6 fights. And defeated 19 world champions
victorguzman2302 Chavez isn't the GOAT lol
I beg to differ.....Most dominant? Try Willie Pep and Sugar Ray Robinson.
One of the all time best. Had a champions heart, with a warrior mentality.
great job , just subscribed. cant wait to watch more of your videos. keep up the great work!
Thanks for the video
Roger call himself the mexican assassin and still lost😂
Ah he has but he was a coward and id someone would off call him like that his as would off play race cards
The most disciplined n the most talented fighter that we know in the era of 1985 - 1995. And the most fundamental text book fighter ever. Quite assuredly indeed.
Wow amazing channel! Absolutely subscribed immediately. I've never even heard of this fight.
Him vs sweet p was one of the best fights I've seen in boxing. Just 2 guys in their prime going at it

No one intelligent would mention that fight as a good fight for JCC.
He got smoked that Mexican hometown cooking was crazy back then
Stopped his ass twice🇲🇽
Great presentation!
Long before Julio Cesar Chávez became a World Champion,
he was scheduled to fight in Los Angeles.
During the previous days before the fight,
he and one of his brothers visited the newspaper office La Opinion.
They were interviewed.
Julio Cesar told about his dreams and hopes.
He wanted everything for his family,
to help to put a bread on the table,
to buy a house for her mom, etc.
The interview was published
and I was fortunate enough to read it in the sports section.
He won his fight in Los Angeles,
and from there he went on
to become a legend.
He's top 5 of best boxers in history.
R.I.P. Roger, what a class act you were. You made the Mayweather name in this great sport and you'll never be forgotten.😊
Class act ?
😂😂what a Joke !! None of the Mayweather clan have Respect !!! None !! 🤢🤮🤮
@@JR-gn9ei yup!
Roger has my respect out of all the mayweathers because he put people to sleep with his hands and not his performance. Meldrick Taylor is another good fighter that I admired.
Who respects you?
Excellent presentation.
One of the greatest fights and boxers of all time. Respect to both. Chavez was a beast!! Go Chavez!!
Funny how the “Unknown” challenger had 44-0
He wasn't a name in the sport at the time. This was only his second defence and third major fight in the US. His first 39 fights were basically prelim/novice stuff in Mexico as a teenager, as Chavez turned pro at 17 after a very short amateur career. His first significant opponent had been Adrian Arreola, who was a fringe contender type, a little less than 2 years before the first Mayweather fight.
My respects to Roger Mayweather RIP he stood there and slugged it out with any opponent unlike his bicycle riding nephew Floyd may weather .
You mean the one that’s UNDEFEATED.
Yes the clown that lost to Castillo and to Maidana@@raamyasharahla535

Cool video I subscribed! I'm 58 years old so I love the generation that was in my prime! The fighters today have nothing on the old school fighters! Peace ✌️
Roger Mayweather is definitely a legend. Rest Easy 🙏🏽.
I admired how Roger Mayweather opologized for the punch after the bell, and Julio Chavez accepted his opology. True sportsmanship.
God Bless both of these warriors 🙏😎
Downplaying one of the 🐐. This man not only won Mexico hearts he became the peoples champion of his time.
That 2nd knockdown was devastating. Im surprised Roger got up from that one.
RIP Roger Mayweather
Shame that he failed to instill a sense of class and respect in his cheap shotting nephew.
Wow you have a talent for storytelling and are really developing into a great channel. I hope you feel satisfaction that is well deserved after combining your passion, intellect and craft all together into this video so graciously for us to view. Thanks.
Thank you so much!
5:03 WOW!!! He put everything into that punch. God Bless both of these warriors .
I must say ,the two greatest fighters in the history of boxing are holeo cazar Chavez ,and Floyd Mayweather Jr the difference is Mayweather wins backward movement ,Chavez wins all moving forward. Roger was a great fighter as well ,in a class with all great fighters. 🙏 Roger ,rest in peace.
Floyd "Chicken" Mayweather, the greatest chicken.
Chavez was a beast. Is an all-time great. But lost to Whitaker in my estimation.
Very good video!
nice work
Julio started using drugs like 2 years before of his first lost. This man was unbeatable. If he would have retired when he had 89-0, he maybe would have been the first in the rank in pound4pound in all time boxing history. Chavez has been called the best mexica fighter of all time and it's super misleading by a lot of expert, he is one of the best fighter of all time not only in Mexico, it was for the whole world. He had chin, stamina, defense, and he put a nonstop pressure to obliterate any fighter, he was a real machine, he can win any fight in any era, no matter for that beast. He fought against 27 world champions. In my opinion is the best second boxer of all time behind Sugar Ray Robinson. Sugar Ray Robinson had a record of 129 and 1 before he lost to Randy Turpin and the first time he retired at the age of 32 years old he had 132-3.
boxing is funny because its often internal pain and struggle that gets them into the ring and motivates their success, but if they let they pain eat them instead of dealing with it and growing with it and evolving it will eventually kill them
Mayweather jr doesn’t know these facts because he can’t read😂
Great fights🥊
Great Video
Too bad Julio son's are all jokes, none are really great boxer who can carry on their fathers name in boxing.
When i think of Chavez, i think of the old guys in anime that always beats you. Ive only watched Chávez in the 90s. His record of 90 straight wins, unreal.
89-0 before his first loss. If he were a coward like junior no one would’ve touched his record. But, hes not a coward, he’s a fighter who made his fair share of money and loved fighting for the people. Didn’t duck anyone in their prime. Those are the qualifications of a best ever candidate!
A Legend with a win record no one in his category has ever beaten. 89-0.🥊🥊
One, if not the most respected Boxer in Mexico….. I must have been 7 when I saw one his fights
FYI: Chavez first displayed his talents in the U.S. v. (Not Thee) Jerry Lewis at the Memorial Stadium in Sacramento. Two more fights at the venerable Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA followed prior to his breakout win v. "Azabache" Martinez (also at "the Olympic"), followed by Ruben Castillo (ditto!) and Roger Mayweather in Vegas.
These were great fighters in a great era. I am glad I was a boxing fan as a kid in the 80's. The first fight I saw was when Ray Boom Boom Mancini fought Korean Do Ku Kim, sadly Kim died from that match.
he was an inspirational man that find a skill to atack and defend at the same time . rnp.
Epic jumping right hand to cover the distance.
Chavez whooped that ass. Philly Shell defense was no match for Chavez. In the 2nd fight, made him quit on his stool.
Mayweather was a good fighter of a gifted boxing dynasty,
but here in this fight, he was way outclassed by the Champ, Julio Chavez.
JJC was a demolishing machine round to round ~ His fierce outboxing and skills made him a lethal boxer hard to hit ~ He sustained so much punishment and would come back with same fierceness - I'm amazed and proud that Mexico had such elite boxer
TWO great fighters
Well done
Chavez .... uno dei più grandi pugili di tutti i tempi..... una leggenda del ring
63W and 0! He never ducked anyone and fought everyone!
The TRUE pound for pound greatest of all times!
Viva Mexico viva Chavez sr.!
👋💪💕🇵🇭
Outstanding tribute. Thank you. His main gift to us was the training of Floyd.
Gracias por esas inolvidables peleas . Ya es muy dificil encontrar peleadores de ese nivel
Gracias por los recuerdos Gracias Chavez . Gracias Roger Maywether .
That second fight was incredible
