Meant to bring this up earlier. This was touched on in another thread. Chavez had a fight early in his career where he apparently was disqualified. It was later changed to a KO win under dubious circumstances.
Controversial posted a newspaper article about it: http://articles.latimes.com/1990-03-13/ ... ing-record
Just want to hear what people have to say.
Should Chavez' record be changed?

Re: Should Chavez' record be changed?
I can't see them changing it, very fishy but I wouldn't be surprised if this happens more than we know about. I suppose the only saving grace is he wasn't beaten but lost by DQ, it would be worse if he was outpointed or stopped and they changed it.
Your link doesn't seem to work so I reposted it.

Doubt it will be changed either. But should it? Chavez is getting credit for a KO win when there wasn't even a count.
Re: Should Chavez' record be changed?
Should've never been changed in the first place. Since it already has been it won't be changed back. The result was bought and paid for, and it would benefit nobody to change the result.
