Julio cesar Chaves is the best pound 4 pound ever in boxing history.

[edit] Why no entry in the International Hall of Fame for Chavez?

I was just browsing thru the international hall of fame list... searching around for familiar names from Mexico and the Philippines (like Flash Elorde and Pancho Villa).

Chavez' record is pretty impressive, and yet he hasnt been inducted to the Hall of Fame. Why?

[edit] Chavez not eligible for induction until 2011

The Boxing Hall of Fame only inducts fighters who have been inactive for five years. Chavez's most recent fight was September 17, 2005. Therefore, he will not be eligible until the inductions in 2011 (assuming he doesn't fight again). -JaneFurrows 03:08, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I've been following Chavez's career for the last twenty years. To my knowledge, he's never lost - or fought, for that matter - a boxer by the name of Richard Cruz.

[edit] "El León de Culiacán" nickname is not the best known nickname for Julio.

Julio César Chávez's best known knickname is " El César del Boxeo" (Boxing's Caesar), a clearly reference to Julius Caesar, the Roman Emperor, and to Chavez's royal status in Boxing ( Ancient Rome Emperors were called "Caesar". )Elkidkid 06:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

== Chavez vs Camacho was one of the most important fights in Chavez's career == (also, Chavez was a big wimp, he paid many of the opponent to let him win)

Yet, in the article, it is treated as just a preliminary before the fight in The Aztec Stadium.Elkidkid 06:59, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
