A First-Hand Witness Account on the Bobby Knight Chair Story - MS&LL 2/20/20 - YouTube

What I love about this story is how, yet another classic example of so goddamn many regarding coach Knight, the real story wasn't tossing a chair. https://t.co/KICgNZZfTV

@FightOdyssey1 Great fight. Great study.

@BernardOShea2 @MatthewAguilar5 @SteveKim323 Superman doesn't take PEDS. Doesn't need to. Roy did though. This was probably the most "legit at the time he fought them opponent/win" of his career. Hopkins & Toney had asterisks. This one does too though. He was Royded as in steroyded (steroided). Deep down Roy was insecure.

Isiah (Top bunk): Kevin, you awake?
Kevin (Bottom bunk): Yeah, I'm awake Isiah.

Isiah: "Coach Knight yells a lot."

Kevin: "Yeah, he yells a lot Isiah. Go to sleep Isiah."

Isiah: "I can't".

Kevin: "Me neither".

@boknows1978 Like a hot knife through butter.

@combatsporrt For beating a couple mid 30 yr olds whose best days were behind them? For taking PEDS? I can't tell you who he even beat at his other weight classes. They were non-events/irrelevant. I'm confused by this question. Are you talking a specific year he was a top 5 fighter?

[Cold @Cold277091]

@rory_fahy Chavez is one of the greatest defensive fighters that ever lived. Extremely high level shit that takes balls.

[Cold @Cold277091]

@boknows1978 I've been saying his name in that regard since the 90's. You're right and that's because most people are followers. When it becomes cool to say everybody will say it.

[Cold @Cold277091]

@MatthewAguilar5 He was 18 yrs old. WOW!

[Cold @Cold277091]

@ShChildBoxing Duran by KO. Atleast make it challenging for us. Like Duran vs Pryor or Armstrong at 140 or something.

@WilliamDettloff @PeltzBoxing 2/2 Then I remembered that one never made it past "contender" (Carter) and the other guy (Mimms) was a journeyman. Yet, that's some of the best boxing you're ever gonna see. It was a great fight by today's standards. It was great back then too but it was common place.

[Cold @Cold277091]

@WilliamDettloff @PeltzBoxing 1/2Those guys had a lot more experience but so did their opponents compared to the opponents of current "greats". I was watching Rubin Carter vs Holly Mims the other day. I thought "Wow, these guys were really great!" because I'm so used to seeing current boxers.

@historyrock_ Rock singers? He was pretty damn good. He's in that conversation, no doubt about it.

[Cold @Cold277091]

@Billionboxingtv Hence, people walk away not realizing what a war they just watched. Chavez-Martinez, Chavez-Castillo, Chavez-Lockridge, Chavez-LaPorte, Chavez-Rosario. These are all fights that should be studied forever for the aspiring pugilist pupil, and historians alike. He was a PHENOM.

[Cold @Cold277091]

@Billionboxingtv What great and needed post. One thing people forget to appreciate because I don't think they even understand, is this: Chavez performed in brutal wars that he gave the appearance of them being simply competitive workouts because though his opponents would show signs, he didn't.

KO KINGZ 👑 JULIO CÉSAR CHÁVEZ 🇲🇽
(107W-85KOS):

When Julio Cesar Chavez walked into a boxing ring, an entire nation walked with him. During the 1980s and 1990s, when “El Gran Campeón Mexicano” fought, the streets of Mexico fell completely silent. Fans crowded around radios and televisions to watch a man who grew up in an abandoned railroad car fight his way to the absolute pinnacle of sports history. He was a living symbol of working class resilience, pride and unbreakable will.

To understand Chavez is to look at the numbers that sound like typos in the modern era of boxing. He went completely undefeated for thirteen years, building an astonishing record of 89 wins, 0 losses and 1 draw before tasting defeat for the very first time. By the time he retired, he had fought 115 professional bouts, capturing world titles in three different weight classes and setting an all time sport record with 31 successful defenses.

The definitive moment of his terrifying durability came on March 17, 1990 in a fight that remains etched in boxing lore. Meldrick Taylor spent eleven rounds out speeding and beating Chavez to the punch. With blood pouring from his mouth and his eyes swollen, he tracked Taylor down in the final minute, launching a desperate, furious assault. With just seconds remaining, Chavez landed a devastating right hand that sent Taylor crashing to the canvas. The referee waved off the fight with a mere two seconds left on the clock. It was a staggering testament to Chavez’s ability.

Julio Cesar Chavez remains the gold standard against which all Mexican fighters are judged. Not because he won 107 fights, but because he fought with a relentless heart that a nation recognized as its own. @Jcchavez115
