Oscar De La Hoya vs Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

chavez was a great fighter and is an icon of the sport and mexico but i have to go with dlh on this and this why dlh won a gold medal and won titles in 6 different weight classes...chavez no medal won titles in 3 different weight classes....also weather people want to admit it or not chavez padded up his record he even fought a garbageman and a taxi driver... chavez thru the 1st. 41 fights of his career the win -loss record of his opponents was 199-204..also during this streak 10 of these fighters made their pro debut against chavez...of these 41 fighters only 9 had winning records and 24 had fought 6 times or less... dlh thru his 1st. 41 fights win-loss record of his opponents i leftout chavez who had 97 wins when they 1st. fought and yori boy campas who had 85 because they were "old" when they fought dlh despite this the combined records were 1131 - 103 ...during his 1st 41 fights all his opponents had winning records ...only his 1st. opponent had less than 6 fights...the rest of his opponents all had duoble digit wins... i added up these #'s from boxrec according to their win-loss record and that of their opponents....i am sorry but the #'s don't lie this makes chavez 100 wins less impresive keep in mind that i only did their 1st. 41 fights chavez fought guys with horrible records or guys that made their por-debut against him after his 1st. 41 fights.

de la hoya's prime is at welterweight, he beats JCC easly and TKO's him, just like he did before, anything else and JCC would most likley win because DLH was too young to handle the experince of JCC at superfeather-lightweight,

DLH started his career at 130 Super Featherweight, and still would of beat him at any weight. http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=008253 De La Hoya at 130 and 135 wouldn't know what to do with JCC. He's way too young and untested. As a matter of fact, what the fuck am I saying it's just dumb even talking about this.

Actually DLH wouldn't have been massacred by Chavez in Chavez' prime because they were in their primes at 2 different weights. A 147 pound DLH would have merc'd a 135 pound Chavez... As far as who the better fighter is career wise? It's a dumb question and anyone who doesn't answer Chavez is a fucking moron. :D

yeah some people are just ............... let me put it like this there is no way dlh is better then chavez, dlh beat a past his prime chavez and thats it. dlh would have gotten annihilated by a prime chavez. end of story

at 135 N 140 Chavez wipes the floor w/ DeLaHoya yes, like he already did.. and before everyone jumps up and says Chavez was 60 years old... again, Chavez was 35 when they first fought... Of course 35 is no spring chicken either, we all know what happened to Tszyu at 35.

What kinda questions is this "comepana" who is better? If you look at the record, the scale of fighters faced by JCC, the amount of championships, the fact that he is like 42 and still wooping butt, and just now he says that he is retiring, how many times has DHL said he has retired and is like 10 years younger, DLH has never impressed me specially in his last um 7 fights, you know the ones where you think that its boxing, but really it looks like a track and field event.

BTW, I'm sorry I answered w/o reading the question (Stupid). I thought the question is who's a better fighter, but it actually refers to the resume. Chavez of course... I once started a thread "Most undefeated record" Chavez I think has the second best undefeated record. But regardless undefeated or not... Chavez had one sick career.

at 135 N 140 Chavez wipes the floor w/ DeLaHoya

Chavez, by a wide margin.HA-HA, Love that Ignore list sig. I should make mine to announce as well! :-) Good work man!

Are you people high??? Chavez!

why even answer to an obvious question. because i cant believe certain people actually think otherwise lol.

Chavez, by a wide margin. why even answer to an obvious question.

Chavez, by a wide margin.

I used to love watching Chavez when I was young, but I just rechecked their respective records and De La Hoya has the better credentials. Both hall of famers. Chavez by SD if they had met at lightweight.

De La Hoya pummeled Chavez when Chavez was 60 years old! De La Hoya is better! :p Ahhhm.. No! Chavez was 35

its Chavez...gimme a break..

De La Hoya pummeled Chavez when Chavez was 60 years old! De La Hoya is better! :p

I'd go with DLH

i dont feel like comparing them..but de la hoya was a better fighter Both fighter had their own different styles and their own legacies, i didn't see much of chavez either but have seen some of his fights and read about him. He was a great fighter, Dela Hoya has been said to have followed in chavez's foot steps but with his own style and different kind of game that he brings to the ring. Chavez's chapter is closed and although he kept making comebacks his recent fights are not the reflections of his greatness, Delahoya is still in the game what remains to be seen is that how he closes the show.
