Bobby Chacon questions

[gensu3k1]

1.) How did the animosity between Bobby Chacon and Bazooka Limon? Was the hatred mutual?

2.) In the telecast of Chacon's last fight, they list his record as having 8 losses and discuss him being knocked down 3 times in his last fight. They CLEARLY aren't talking about the Solis fight. Boxrec's database lists Bobby as having just 8 losses, and no loss in between the Solis and Jones fights. Is it possible that Bobby had an exhibition or some such bout that doesn't make the boxrec records?

3.) Why didn't a Chacon-Camacho fight happen?

4.) What were the circumstances surrounding Chacon's 1988 comeback?

Any and all facts and stories relating to Bobby are very welcome.

I was always aware of the Chacon-Limon rivalry but never knew why it existed. Regarding the Camacho controversy, Camacho was promoted by Don King, who was pushing for a title shot which the WBC (being King's puppets) went along with. King was offering $250,000 to Chacon for a Camacho defence whereas Chacon also had a contract to fight Boza Edwards for $450,000. The WBC actually had the balls to back King's bid even though (and get this) Edwards was the WBC's #1 contender. So the title defence against Edwards did not have WBC backing. They vacated the title because King told them to, which set up the vacant title fight between Camacho and Limon. Man, how crooked can you get.

Before his fight with Bobby Jones Chacon fought Martin 'Chiva' Guevera and was floored 3 times before coming back to ko Guevera in the 3rd.
Bobbys final record I believe was 60-7 with one no contest.
Do you have a tape of Chacons fight with Jones?...Id be interested in a copy of it.
