In the history of boxing, Julio César Chávez is one of the names the record keeps returning to.
The record lists Julio César Chávez as Professional Mexican boxer.
Julio César Chávez was born at Loreto Municipality in 1962. His recorded nationality is Mexico.
By this period sport was fully international, televised and politicised, and an athlete's reach extended far past the field of play.
In sport the margin between the remembered and the forgotten is often a fraction of a second.
Formal honours included the International Boxing Hall of Fame (2011).
That the career was built from Mexico matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.
What survives is the record itself - times, placings and titles that later competitors still measure themselves against.
