Dear Famoso,<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a few questions and you and the editors of this fine website can choose to answer none, any or all of them as you see fit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What was your toughest fight in the ring?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would have to say Floyd Mayweather, JR. He was a very crafty and fast boxer that was hard to connect with a clean shot.<\/p>\n

Were there any of your losses that you felt you should have won, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Against Pacquiao’s brother Bobby, I felt I clearly did enough to win that fight. Against Jesus Chavez, at least it should have been a draw. His glove touched the canvas in the last round where the ref didn’t count it. They were good fights, but probably the one that sticks out the most is my first defeat against Aaron Zarate, from Mexico City, who Nacho Bernstein had. Zarate, was just in good condition, but I believe if I didn’t win I should have gotten a draw. This is just my humble opinion.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite achievement in your career?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Definitely when I won my world title in front of the President of El Salvador and my Central American heroes, Roberto Duran and Alexis Arguello. What an unforgettable night.<\/p>\n

Is there one single moment of your boxing career that stands out as your most favorite and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course winning the world title, but also when I fought Mayweather. The odd makers had it 30 to 1 that he would knock me out and all of his people were booing me in the beginning. In the end, his crowd was mine. It was an awesome feeling of inner victory<\/p>\n

Thank you for taking the time to answer!<\/strong>

Champ,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who beats Floyd Mayweather?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeff<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeff,<\/p>\n

Floyd beats himself! Manny Pacquiao may have a chance as well.<\/p>\n

Carlos,<\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you think the biggest downfall for any fighter is during their boxing career?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tammy S.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tammy,<\/p>\n

Not listening to their wives! Just kidding\u2026 I think not being educated on how to run a business or a business product. I believe a young fighter whose s a hot commodity needs to be 100% involved with their own contracts obviously alongside an attorney, but understand what the promoter is doing. Also, an education is very important. You can do online classes while training for a big fight I believe. Case in point, look at Juan \u201cBaby Bull\u201d Diaz. What a great example of a fighter, training and studying to get his degree.<\/p>\n

Famoso,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spanish pride brother all da way\u2026\u2026\u2026 Do you think Oscar delayhoya was that good? My all time favorite was Salvador Sanchez. What are your thoughts on him?<\/strong>
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n

One love<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benny Blanco<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benny,<\/p>\n

Salvador Sanchez was a freak of nature, if not the best Mexico has given, he is in the top two. \u00a0Let me tell you about this young man who I watched train hard and even had the chance to spar him, Oscar De La Hoya. That dude was the best! My goodness, his speed and power were incredible. To me the guy was one of my favorite and best fighters of our time.<\/p>\n
