Re: The Greatest Accomplishment...
Though I only recognise some of the championships as truly legit, the five titles across six divisions (or whatever it was) is hard to top. I'll say that.

despite plenty of later-career heroics, i call beating- no, battering- Little Red Lopez his best. punch-perfect peformance from Chacon, tremendous power-punching from both hands and showing plenty of Chacon's under-rated slickness and counterpunchingThe Great John L wrote:Surviving the Shavers right hand in their second fight.

Re: The Greatest Accomplishment...
His seven-year Lightweight reign takes the cake, but, boy, is competition ever stiff. He did so many remarkable things.

Going out on his own after he lost the title, fighting everyone

Re: The Greatest Accomplishment...
The right which put Norris down was hard to beat. I'd love to say his fight with Simon Brown, because I remember reading about it & I believe it was close, but I have to admit I've never seen it, so can't really say if it qualifies.
