Boxing legend Julio Cesar Chavez shows off incredible physique aged 57 and ‘could still beat his son now’
BOXING legend Julio Cesar Chavez has shown off his incredible physique at the age of 57.
And it has led to many predicting the three-weight former world champ would "beat his boy" even now - in reference to his 34-year-old boxer son who shares his name.
Chavez Sr had a stunning boxing career, securing 107 wins from 115 fights, with six defeats and two draws.
His fearsome punch power led to him collecting 85 stoppages along the way.
He held multiple world titles across three weight divisions - featherweight, lightweight and super-lightweight.
Chavez Sr stayed in the sport after retiring in 2005 and currently coaches his son.
But unfortunately for the family, it's fair to say Chavez Jr is struggling to follow in his father's footsteps.
He pulled himself out in his last fight against Danny Jacobs which led to him being branded a "coward" and a "quitter" by many boxing fans.
Eighteen months before that he had his big fight under the lights against fellow Mexican Canelo Alvarez.
But a clearly out-of-condition Chavez Jr lost EVERY ROUND to his countryman on Cinco de Mayo, a historic day for Mexico.
Even after that whitewash, Chavez Jr incredibly called for a rematch.

"Better than his own son", "I can see senior taking out junior with a body shot" and "better shape than his good for nothing kid" were just some of the comments on Reddit.
