Legendary Nights: Chavez Taylor Part 1 [Abbas Khan]

[udz24]

This is to 123bigr. Yes I saw the fight. Did you? After Chavez put Taylor down, Taylor could not present himself ready for defense. "HE COULD NOT TAKE HIS HANDS OFF THE ROPES." He could not present himself. So take your biased opinion somewhere else and learn to be objective, it might help you in life!

[smokinlefthook]

chavez took his soul

[sergiodga1985]

Por que se cago el manejador de Taylor ( bull Chet bull Chet)

[sergiodga1985]

11 raunds a favor del negro y por que no lo ko al mexicano?

[kayakillafc]

this two man gave us war, thats the beauty of seeing warriors in action.

[daTruChosen]

HBO needs a Legendary Nights Reloaded series, with the following tales in mind: Whitaker vs. Chavez; Toney vs. Mike McCallum I. (the back story of how avoided both these fighters were is absolutely fascinating); Toney vs. Jones (we would see the temporary fall of an all time great); Leonard vs. Duran; Hopkins vs. take-your-pick; Pacquiao vs. take-your-pick; Corrales vs. Castillo (HBO would have to work something out with Showtime, though), and De La Hoya vs. Mosley I.

[daTruChosen]

Julio Cesar Chavez = the greatest MEXICAN (not Latino) fighter of all time. The greatest Latino fighter of all time is Roberto Duran... without question.

[punguinzzz]

@7bitch7bitch7EITHER UR CRACK, METH, OR VGLUE!!!...and wouldnt be surprise that u just might be classic satire sodomiser phedephile...giving the nature of ur D N A!!!...

[NLHFJT]

Chavez un autentico Guerrero Azteca...

[udz24]

I read all these comments and people are so set to see it their way. Chavez is Chavez. Everything that he has he earned. Taylor is Taylor. Everything he has he earned. That's what made this fight epic. Two fighters at the top of their game. Taylor outboxed Chavez the whole fight landing three and four punch combinations and finishing off with a hook or an uppercut.(I was rooting for Taylor) Taylor puched himself out at the end and could not present himself to the ref after the knockdown.

[123bigr]

@udz24 did you see the fight? How did he not present himself? Taylor did not stumble, he got up in plenty of time. Taylor's corner got his attention and that caused him to look their way. That is their fault. Chavez won quite a few fights that he should not have Randall(sp)2 and Sweetpea. That being said, I am glad Randall put Chavez in his place and on his back.

[1978utreg]

lets hope for one more legendary night between money mayweather and pacman...

[gagloko]

DONDE LOS PUEDO VER CON SUBTITULOS

[DrOprahVonPenishat]

I like watching Latino fighters but i hate every single one their fans. Such mouthy-overly proud of their third world shithole county-patriotic for all the wrong reasons-dickheads.

This fight ruined that kids life and all they're talking about is the (usual) question marks over the decision and how their Latino golden boy won. Retarded douchebags.

[b7r7u7c7e]

@DrOprahVonPenishat I agree. I'm a proud Irish dude and most of my black friends tell me Mexicans have said more racist things then my race does. A good friend of mine whos a local MMA fighter said the Mexican fans say some of the most racist things! To be honest I wasent surprised by this. The youth walk around with Mexicans flags talking about how Mexico is the best, well then why the fuck you guys always sneak over here? lol Dont even want to learn english. I dont get it to be honest. Losers!

[DrOprahVonPenishat]

@b7r7u7c7e I honestly think their false pride and false bravado comes from being insecure.... deep down they know they come from a shithole and they're desperately trying to overcompensate.

[josemezatorrez]

I have to respect Taylor because he did not run and hug like Pernell Whittaker,"Mr float like a butterfly sting like a bee" style sucks dick

[josemezatorrez]

The 15 rounds should be brought back,fighting 15 rounds actually helped Mexican fighters because we are slow starters and get stronger as the fight goes on to late rounds.

[deltok]

chavez prime real weapon is the pit bull heart, he could death on the ring easy a true warrior. more greatest than chicken ass NO MAS of roberto duran..

[MegaYouri13]

The back story behind Ref. Richard Steele is just as interesting as the fight story itself...

[bmillerdrums]

Taylor was one hell of a fighter... But Chavez took his soul in this fight his fighting spirit. Chavez was so fucking tough in his prime. Look at the numbers he took almost 1000 punches didnt have a scratch on him and still had the power to knock Taylor out after a 12 round war. Just incredible

[OAKLANDCHICANOS14]

Chavez was 85-0-1 before he's first loss let's is gayweather fight that long if out a loss i bet he will not fight like that becasue my man the pacman is going to give him that fist loss in the game

[OAKLANDCHICANOS14]

after this fight MELDRICK TAYLOR was not the same he was winning the fight to the last round its fucked up what the out come was and why the fuck you fags are talking about gayweather in this video taylor would have eat him if they would fight real talk

[z71caimanero]

@canibusnj he left him practically retarted,  culiacan sinaloa!

[canibusnj]

@z71caimanero Julio Cesar Chavez: "LA DE TAYLOR FUE MI MEJOR PELEA" NORTH PHILADELPHIA!!!!

[skincauldron]

Yuriorkis Gamboa, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Ray Leonard, Amir Khan, Roy Jones Jr., Hector Camacho, [insert any & all other "fast hands" fighters you can possibly think of in boxing history here]...

They all share one commonality: They fought like they were punching in quicksand that was up to their heads with how slow their hands were when compared to the cyclonic quickness of Taylor's fists. Simply unrivaled speed displayed within his punching combinations. Like a gatling/minigun bullet barrage.

[youz1uglybish]

@skincauldron wow thats saying alot lol im a fan of meldrick taylor but he did alot of shoe shining...guys like roy jones jr and yuriorkis gamboa had the handspeed with the power to match! the amount of shots taylor landed on julio cesar chavez smh that fight should not have even gone past the 6th round! meldrick taylor was merley tapping chavez while chavez was leveling meldrick taylor and that was the difference in that fight!

[z71caimanero]

culiacan sinaloa!

[canibusnj]

@z71caimanero North Philadelphia!!!!!!!

[donaldflores96]

Chavez got a boxing lesson!

[Sledge070685]

@donaldflores96 No he didn't!

[34Unclej]

I agree Taylor did get busted, broken, and beating up! Taylor won the fight on every judges scorecards and dats what counts. Now if it wasnt a boxing match yes this wouldnt be no conversation. Taylor would not be living after that fight. Boy!

[34Unclej]

U gotta be kidding me! Fair n square? WHAT! I guess Chavez beat Pernell Whitaker too!

[34Unclej]

How u got knocked out when he got up? Wasnt stubbling or falling all over the place. Hells u talking bout? U like dat dumbass ref Richard Steele dont know noting bout fighting.

[BROWNREDFOWL]

@34Unclej never respondedto steel he got rape

[SWAG1122]

@34Unclej

I think its u dat dnt know shit about boxing boy...how da fuck can u say meldrick won? look at them at the end of the fight..meldrick had grotesque face swelling... pissing nothing but blood...and his face was broken...wat about chavez...he was just feelin naseous..so u do da math man...julio not only won the fight he BEAT taylor like he wanted to kill him..and almost did.. shit

[soldierofdLord7]

Oh BOO HOO! Chavez won that fight, FAIR AND SQUARE! Chavez all HEART!!! Taylor Got BEAT UP!! REAL TALK Forget the points im talking ASSKICKING!! all them points for nothing! Taylor might as well been throwing him kisses, Cuz it didn't fade CHAVEZ. Taylor got "KNOCK THE @#!*% OUT"! CHAVEZ NOT ONLY KICKED HIS ASS BUT HE KNOCK HE'S ASS OUT! Chavez A real CHAMPION!!

[Chex2331]

@soldierofdLord7

Taylor was all heart too, fucking retard.

Taylor was up at 6, and Don King saved Chavez from his first defeat.

Meldrick "TNT" Taylor was the first man to beat Chavez.

[vergitacha]

@Chex2331 Chavez right hand saved him ......not Don king.

[soldierofdLord7]

@Chex2331 You must be like 11 years old right litttle man. ITS A FIGHT A TAYLOR DID NOT BEAT CHAVEZ, HE GOT KNOCK OUT!!!!!! Fractured face FACT, blood on urine FACT, brain damage, FACT! Who won the FIGHT AGAIN?! I dont care about points! CHAVEZ WON THE FIGHT! All heart !! Taylor was faster and quicker, but ALL HEART CHAVEZ wasent fazed.Taylor "points" felt like FLOWERS to Chavez. REAL TALK PA DONT HATE. I feel sorry for Taylor too. He got BEAT UP!! Chavez didnt have a scrath on him. FACT!!

[checklefthook]

@soldierofdLord7 Richard Steele gave him the fight, 2 seconds man come on.

[b7r7u7c7e]

@soldierofdLord7 Chavez is a wet back mexican that was losing the fight till Taylor made a mistake. It was Taylor who beat himself not that stinky mexican. By the way Im 100% Irish not black. Blacks are better fighters. Mexicans are slow boring fighters that I hate listening to because they dont speak English and there in America. Just shows how lazy they are. The only thing there good for is cleaning my mothers yard and washing our dishes.lol

[dominiclamar1]

@b7r7u7c7e Mexican prejudice aside, Chavez still won, didn't he.

[b7r7u7c7e]

@dominiclamar1 I respect Chavez as a fighter. Not his fault the ref messed up. Hates off to Taylor cause he didnt dance the last round. He went out there like a man. Both fighters great. I have no problem with Mexican either. Just dont like the idiots who come here and break the law. Get in line like everyone else.

[dominiclamar1]

@b7r7u7c7e Kind of going off topic with the video, but those not related 2 the drug cartels come over cuz they r lured by economic opportunity by crooked business owners who hire undocumented workers. Those who end up breaking the law r in almost all cases caught between starvation and breaking laws 2 make money 4 their families. Chavez is obviously not one of those, and boxing is a world sport. He, like everyone else, has 2 get a boxing license 2 fight in any state.

[warnestduo217]

@b7r7u7c7e HAHAHA U SUPID FUC@ CHVEZ NEVER LIVED IN USA. SO HE DIDNT HAVE TO LEARN ENGLISH. HE WENT THERE TO FIGHT. KIRKLAND FOUGHT IN MEXICO LAST WEEK. " YOU DONT HEAR PEOPLE CALLING HIM WET BACK LEARN SPANISH IF YOURE GOING TO WORK HERE"

[b7r7u7c7e]

@warnestduo217 I was talking about Mexicans that break the law by coming over here. I was making a double statement dumb ass. This is something second graders know. There are half a million that come over here and break our laws. Then they get pissed when people ask them to learn English. They dont respect the US, walk around with Mexican flags. Most of the youth join gangs. My sister is a teacher and she says most of the kids that are in gangs are mexican and dont even speak English! Losers!

[fuglyniss]

@b7r7u7c7e You are such a narrow minded moron, I feel sorry for you. Go to LA and say that shit.

[b7r7u7c7e]

@fuglyniss Please dont feel sorry for me cause I dont give a fuck about you. Im 6'4 100% Irish. Ive never been scared of some fuckin mexican one on one. The problem is they dont fight one on one. Most of the time they jump people. You guys(Dont know if your a wet back or not)are either short or fat out of shape retards. Im not scared of Wet backs! Name me 5 of the greatest heavyweight champs that are mexican. Or MMA? What about Football, Basketball, track n field, I can go on and on.

[salazteca1]

@b7r7u7c7e You say that you are not afraid of Mexicans but your racist comments say you been afraid of everything since you were born, this is boxing man I like Irish italians etc I have no reason to hate anybody that is not my race we 're all the same no one decide what to be or where to be born,all my respect to all real boxing fans, PEACE

[fuglyniss]

@b7r7u7c7e Yea i dont know you but just from reading this I feel even more sorry for you. U seem straight out racist, ignorant as fuck and angry, something bad must have happened to you. I'm not mexican but I grew up with them so I cant stand ignorant people like you.

[b7r7u7c7e]

@fuglyniss Why is it when someone has an opinion on something they dont agree with or if someone says something thats not mainstream there has to be some reason. The person has to be evil, dumb, or they didnt get enough hugs when they were a kid. lol I got lots of black friends the few that live in my area. My other friends dont like them...ok...thats there thing...not mine...there still good guys. Funny how when other races say they dont like white people its more tolerated. Hypocrite!

[fuglyniss]

@b7r7u7c7e Yea so what, I got mexican, central american(I'm Central american) and black friends there's no white boys in our hood but I still dont have anything against white kids, we just have nothing in common. Still dont get why you gotta clown on mexicans, as if they all did you dirty.

[b7r7u7c7e]

@fuglyniss Im not trying to get off topic but again its more tolerated when other races say how what people are bad, or how they dont like them. But let a white dude say that and everybody lose they mind. And lets be honest, we all do it. Everybody talks shit. Its only when its an open form when people pretend like they all high and mighty like they dont do it! One of my friends a co worker thats black always cracks jokes about my race. If I did that I get fired and its 98% white at the plant!

[progressivemetal4evr]

Poor taylor.

Yes chavez beat his face to a pulp..but taylor took his ass to school.

My opinion is chavez won..not by luck by heart heart that was tested till the very end of the of the last round. I feel like taylor SHOULD have won though just one of those things ya gotta let go people.

[BROWNREDFOWL]

at that time they didnt had the tap tap that meant 10 seconds left.only a flashing red light and chavez rocked taylor at 25 second and steel never took his eyes from the fight

[Sjack90]

I thought Steele's stoppage was good. There was plenty of time for Chavez to land another few big punches had Steele not stopped it, and those could have literally killed Taylor.

BEST FIGHT EVER!!!

[johnosandra]

this is the best fight ive ever seen

better than george holyfield and larry norton and even carbajal and gonzalez

[musselshell]

SHAME on Mayweather jr for not manning up

[BROWNREDFOWL]

@musselshell shame on pacDUCKER for facing wahsed up fighters

[BooRikkaaa101]

They need to bring back legendary nights. That show was the shit, they have plenty of fights to create another series.

[djeljedi]

the second fight shows that chavez was the best .......

[daTruChosen]

I'd have rather seen a Legendary Nights: Whitaker vs. Chavez, myself

[chifuli1974]

He got that gift, the one against Whitaker and then the one against Randall in the second fight...

[BROWNREDFOWL]

@chifuli1974 you ok..you ok..taylor's response....NADA...how is that a gift dum ass

[fernan2901]

@BROWNREDFOWL

steele should have asked him to wlak towards him.. duva distracted him stepping to the corner.. and he easily got up. 2 seconds left.. a gift dumbass

[BROWNREDFOWL]

@fernan2901 ey cock back then they didnt had that 10 second warning chavez rocked taylor at 25 seconds steel had his eyes on taylor since the 25th second he was seriously cracked and worse the last right hand

[fernan2901]

@BROWNREDFOWL

still doesn't matter if there were 2 or 30 seconds left, steele should have asked him to walk towards him.. end of story.. Taylor was looking away when he stopped it. your ass is bigger than your brain

[BROWNREDFOWL]

@fernan2901 u right so it was duva fault if steel saw taylroi look at his eyes then he would of probly ask him but he didnt saw duva or the red light he saw taylor's eyes shut and he coudlnt hold himself anymore.just acept it man chavez destroyed him bit by bit watch what the doctor had to say

[chifuli1974]

Not only did he get that gift, he also got one in the Whitaker fight and in the second Randall fight. Don King made it happen for him...

[juiceeddieshow222]

richard steele was in don king's pocket

[lsolorio1978]

Chavez earned the gift!

[duster1r]

greatest jr welter fight of all time

[azshaw123]

I agree ..,/..a gift how?

[SquaddddUp]

I think a prime Meldrick Taylor may be able to beat Floyd

[DWiens421]

@SquaddddUp Eh... too aggressive, probably would have been picked apart by precise counterpunching... much the same way Whitaker probably would have carved him up.

[spankybighead]

@SquaddddUp Now I do agree with that. As much as I like Floyd for his skill level. I truly think a prime Meldrick Taylor would take him.

[spankybighead]

@SquaddddUp One thing however. I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd came up with the antedote to out boxing Meldrick Taylor.  I think he's smarter than Meldrick.

Side note: If you think Zab Judah and Manny are fast...Meldrick Taylor was unbelievable.

[LUKE82603]

@SquaddddUp . I am from Philly and love Meldrick TAYLOR, but he would never ever beat Mayweather primed, but would have been a HUGE, HUGE fight, no doubt !@

[BROWNREDFOWL]

taylor was fucken fast but no power in his punches chavez didnt had blood nor bruses

[BROWNREDFOWL]

taylor went down like dieing i have never seen a fighter fall liek that plus he never answerd steel's 2 questions thats why eh couldnt continue

[BROWNREDFOWL]

taylor could of gotten killed chavez said in the post that teh fight should of been stopped before taylor was seriously hurt

[TGUNZ562]

@BROWNREDFOWL Taylor could not of been killed in 2 seconds. The final bell would have sounded before Chavez would have even been able to get across the ring to engage Taylor.

[batosmak]

One of the TWO big fights Chavez was in where he wins by robbery(PERNELL WHITAKER). 2 words for Chavez, OVER RATED!!! He loss all his BIG FIGHTS.

[vergitacha]

Answer my questions...why you think Don king is a crook and you don't mention Bob arum?

Why the "American" media prefer Pac Man and not Mayweather jr. if mayweather jr. is a citizen of "America"?

[metalliczombie]

@vergitacha Arum is just as bad as King, just not as outstanding of a character. And I like Pac Man better because he's a better man. He has respect and honor. Mayweather's a very talented thug.

[vergitacha]

Mayweather for me, is the p4p king today...I don't know if mayweather is like that in real life....de la Hoya in television is a good guy..but in real life hes different..

[metalliczombie]

I think until Pac Man beats Mayweather, Mayweather is still No. 1. However, I don't see Pac Man beating Mayweather. I really want him to, but I don't think it'll happen, Floyd's just too good.

[vergitacha]

yeah that's the same opinion that I have..

[vergitacha]

This time was not about color it was about nationality, but why the American media prefer PAC MAN than a better skills more completed fighter like Mayweather jr. I thought Mayweather jr was American?

[vergitacha]

Chavez KO all ways came in the later rounds, he work the hole fight to get Taylor in those condition he was in 12 round, the round ends when time is out, what 2 seconds don't count?? If Chavez was American(black) the American media and fans would of we calling the fight of the best comeback in history!! Taylor would of win the fight but what was next for him?? He was all ready dead.

[sickvenom1980]

great point!! majority of americans are sore losers. they all want the happy Rocky ending.

[vergitacha]

The rocky ending sucks!!, American all ways brain wash their people, they lost the Vietnam war and guess what..they started to brain wash people that they win the war by people watching Chuck Norris movies... jaja, man fuck the American Media..the most corruption of all..

[garethac81]

Fuck you for bringing race into this.

Chavez-Taylor, and the controversial nature of that fight, had nothing to do with colour.

Chavez didn't deserve to win. Taylor got up, Chavez had no time to land another punch...Taylor would have won if Steele hadn't waved his arms. Chavez didn't beat Taylor, Steele did...

...THAT'S why the result is perceived as unjust by many fight fans.

[vergitacha]

"Chavez didn't deserve to win"

Why? Taylor got up...and? he did not answer back why? because he was fucking done and hes body was all damage from CHAVEZ PUNCHES, not to pretty but effective! Larry Marchan, Ray Leonard and the other crackhead  wanted Taylor to win..but Chavez was something different man..than the typical Mexican fighter

[garethac81]

The only thing "different" about Chavez was the favouritism that allowed him to avoid defeat by superior opponents. Taylor beat Chavez, the referee robs Taylor. Whitaker beats Chavez, the judges rob Whitaker. Randall is on his way to beating Chavez in their rematch, so Chavez QUITS...and they give him the win anyway!

And Chavez had the biggest crook in boxing for a promoter. Coincidence?

[vergitacha]

Hahahaha, Camacho Undefeated at that time he fought Chavez, Chapo rosario, juan Laporte, Rocky lokridge, Bazooka Limon, Rger Mayweather two times...but probably you don't know that Chavez was World Champion since 1984! this Chavez your talking about was a OLD Chavez....That shows how much boxing you know....their are bigger crooks In America than Don King, why you don't talk the same way of Bob Arum? Mayweather jr. better fighter than PAC MAN but most American media prefer PAC MAN, why?

[garethac81]

An "old" Chavez? He was 27 against Taylor, 31 against Whitaker, and 32 against Randall (who was a year older).

It was bad refereeing and bad judging that decided those matches...age had nothing to do with it.

[vergitacha]

I guess I'm debating with a ignorant of boxing...

Whitaker did beat Chavez he outbox him....

Chavez style of fighting usually is a short career..champion from 1984! fighting big fights with real contenders..back in the day, ONE champion for a division..fighting contender number 1-2-3 etc...not like today..if a name you the fighter you wont recognize them..If only Chavez was not Mexican he be call the greatest, tell me do you think Kelly Pavlik is a great fighter??

[WSBT960]

@vergitacha Arum just as big an a-hole as King, I don't doubt that just watch how he ruined Hearns and De La Hoya's careers.

[tavinocjua]

@vergitacha no mames estaba en riesgo la vida del boxeador. entiende como termino la cara de chaves casi intacta, y todavia dices eso, reacciona

[Whyavier]

This wasn't the only gift JCC got... how about that "Draw" against Whitaker?

Though he knew how to give it out too, like when he knocked the shit out of Roger Mayweather.

[OGBluemercury1]

AHAHAHA twice, and yeah against PW was BS! But I guess it came back when Mayweather "beat" Castillo the first time.

[HUESOsauresrex]

Gifts are given in Dec not in Mar. Chavez tenderized that meat for 11 rounds, then layed it on the grill ( Canvas )

[cbaldwinjr]

Best fight I've ever seen. Ever. Better than Corrales-Castillo. And the shame of it is that Meldrick Taylor won the fight...and it was taken from him

[5kullGame000]

nah julio spanked dat ass!!!

[canibusnj]

nah julio got a gift!!!!!!!

[BROWNREDFOWL]

@canibusnj a gift how?

[christianz2010]

no it wasn't taken from him. but i would of gave him the belt. Chavez won farely

[TGUNZ562]

@cbaldwinjr Taylor/Chvavez wasn't better than Hagler/Hearns.

[cbaldwinjr]

@TGUNZ562

That's your opinion.

[tlig]

@cbaldwinjr He didn't win. He lost. What do you expect a ref to do when the fighter doesn't respond? Blame Duva for distracting his fighter. I actually believe his intention was to get Steele's attention (don't forget he was very good at bullying refs) but it backfired and instead it was his fighter at a crucial moment who got distracted. Plus Meldrick really lost that Olympic final match.

[johnosandra]

@cbaldwinjr nah its how you finish not how you start

[dwalsh97]

@cbaldwinjr Thats why he got a rematch, then he got knocked out in the 8th, so no one can say taylor was better than chavez. chavez knocked him out twice n beat all the best had like a 15 fights n won like 107 of em taylor had like 45 n lost like 8 of em! But i rate them both!

[perezzamarron]

@cbaldwinjr a knock out is a knock out it docent matter if theirs 2 seconds left

[toadman842]

@cbaldwinjr Nope, if he won, it would have been becasue he was saved by the bell. That was a good call.

[Martin081689]

@cbaldwinjr dude he got knocked out lol taylor was faster! chavez was overall better! thats why when they fought the second time around he got KO'd in 6 by a much older chavez, stupid sore loser!!

[Jose21443]

@cbaldwinjr He should be glad chaves didnt take his life away cuzz he left him with brain damage
