Was chavez better than paquiao at their prime!!

Not even close Pac is the much better fighter and much more accomplished as well.

Close comparison,Pacman-Chavez at 140 would have been amazing!!

pernell vs chavez was at 145 cathweight for the wbc belt...... Was it??Then I stand corrected and I thought Pernell won that fight...

IMO Chavez is the better fighter,but he also fought at a time were there was not so many belts and always fought his fights at the weight class limit..It just does not sit right with me that Pac can fight WW's at 145,have fights at 150 it's just not right and hurts his legacy a bit imo..But Pac is still a great fighter and is right up there with the legend Chavez... pernell vs chavez was at 145 cathweight for the wbc belt......

I think Pacquiao rates higher in terms of accomplishments,and I do think he'd stand a chance at winning,but in my mind Chavez was a more complete ighter than Pacquiao was.People forget just how skilled and versatile a fighter Chavez was at his peak.

chavez sr. better than pacquiao in their prime? :lol1: Thank for the joke bro. :lol1:

I'm not mexican and there is no need for me to defend chavez but come on guys paquiao would not last 8 rounds with the great jcsuperstar. Most of the boxers now in days wanna be like chavez lol.....but in all honesty i truelly think that if chavez was american he would be considered top 3 alltime.....anyways chavez to me should be considered top 10 one of the greatest fighter of any era noone can't take away what that man did....ramirez,rosario,mayweather1,&2,haugen,camacho,hernandez,taylor,ect. I would advice any young kid in this website to go to youtube and look up JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ so they could learn a little bit more about his legacy then you wouldn't be comparing any of these fighters to the greatest fighter in any generation JCSUPERSTAR.......

Chavez did some great things in his days that Pacquiao hasn't done and Pacquiao has done some great things of his own that Chavez hasn't done. But trying to compare the two while downplaying one's accomplishment shows you how great the other one is that you need to pull him down so you could push the other one up. In short Pac is much better....

you are a disgrace to boxing....dont you know that Chavez and Whitaker fought at a catchweight too? how old are you? 12 years old? Well with Chavez was never a controversy of being on peds!! or taking advantage of draining(dehydrating) his opponents at catch_weights which in my my opinion is wrong !if willing to fight for that particular world championship weight class, you should meet them at the specific weight and meet them at their best and not dehydrating and weak!! so why not fight margarito at 158 or 160! or De La Hoya at 154 or Morales at 135 or 140 !!!Morales lost that fight 'cause he was dehydrated in the first fight he didn't even brake a sweat , he was clean from his face and on the next two he was already a bigger guy and they didn't want to meet him at his weight!! So yes thank you Roach you created the biggest fraud in history!!

Pac is better....

Pac, wilfred benitez, Salvador Sanchez whoop Julio Cesar Chavez

Pacquiao would win, but Chavez more than likely has a better legacy.

Let say it true !!! 147 fought him at 145 wow!! 2 lbs that really is an advantage,lmao!!! Margarito fights at 158lbs and is going to fight at 150, DLH went in at 145lbs when he was up to 158, Cotto at 154 and also went down not sure but i think it was 148lbs
