Answer 1

You're forgetting that Ali was an Olympic gold medalist also. Chavez only had fifteen or so amateur bouts. That's one reason for many to go with Ali.

The main thing, though, is that Muhammad Ali was a heavyweight and Julio Cesar Chavez only held titles between super featherweight and junior welterweight - divisions that aren't as visible. Chavez had some great fights at super featherweight, but there wasn't as much excitement around them at the time because there just aren't as many people who watch non-heavyweight boxing. Ali's big fights were widely publicized and they're still shown on ESPN Classic. Unfortunately, the fight Chavez has that everyone considers legendary - his last second knockout of Meldrick Taylor - isn't ever shown so newer fight fans don't really know as much about it.

Yes, Chavez has a lot of fights, a lot of wins and a lot of knockouts. It's not the record itself that counts, though, since many of his opponents were nowhere near his level. The proof is in his style - his patience in the ring, the accurate punching and the brutal punishment his opponents suffered. People generally underestimate Chavez's defense - the bobbing and weaving, the parrying, the slightest movements to avoid an opponents punch - but they're all aware that Chavez had one of the greatest chins ever. He was only knocked down twice throughout his whole career. There's definitely a lot to respect him for.

Unfortunately, both Ali and Chavez continued their careers too long. And since Chavez fought more recently, people are more likely to remember him for the tail end of his career. I hope they show some of his old fights on tv sometime so everyone can see Chavez at his prime and understand why he really is a legend. I won't argue that Ali was a great fighter, but Chavez is definitely my all-time favorite.
