Chavez SR VS JUAN Manuel Marquez

Jesus Christ did anyone ever actually watch Marquez in his prime? the "he gets hit to much" " he brawls" only applies to his later past prime years. He didn't fight like that most of his career. Saying Chavez would beat him is more than reasonable.... but not because of what he's shown in his late 30's that's stupid besides this comparison is flawed, Marquez was a career Featherweight that moved up in weightclass in his 30's they wouldn't be able to meet in a prime 4 prime scenario Chavez would have the advantage from the start.

Julio Cesar Chavez would win Chavez applies intelligent pressure and with a very effective defense on the inside slipping punches.

these are two fighters that fight with passion so its a hard choice also the weight plays a big role but if I had to choose, Chavez sr. is my choice by a slight margin

At 135/140 I favor Chavez Sr. At 130 Marquez.

IF the fights at 130 I favor Marquez....he was closer to his prime had the advantage in speed, defense, and counterpunching. Chavez was naturally a little bigger and thicker, was stronger and had intelligent pressure. I just see Marquez landing the more effective punches. Their power would be virtually even.Chavez shots are heavy and thudding but Marquez punchers are sharp slicing shots. Both would be worst for wear considering both could be hit. Marquez has always shown great stamina especially at the lower weights. At 135 I favor Chavez who was probably at his absolute best here and Marquez would be older and slower easier to hit

At 135 Marquez gets stopped, bad. At 130 he losses a ud. Marquez is a fabulous counterpuncher but he gets hit too much & no one stays 12 getting hit cleanly by Chavez. A suspect chin won't help either.

i'd pick Chavez Sr JMM tends to brawl whenever going gets tough and thats not going to make it easy for him either coz JCC is a very good pressure brawler .......wait, you're matching Chavez up against the 40 year old LW/JWW Marquez?

Sr. takes him out late, for sure.

Interesting fight. I wonder who Mexicans would side with in this one? I'd be on team Marquez :boxing: The crowd would be crazy... Chavez being reguarded as the greatest Mexican fighther of all time VS arguably this eras best Mexican fighter... I wouldn't know who to root for my self. It's a 50/50 or maybey 51/49 for Chavez sr.

Marquez UD

Marquez counters him all night and shows us the sweet science

Chavez Sr beat Marquez pretty clearly IMO.

Interesting fight. I wonder who Mexicans would side with in this one? I'd be on team Marquez :boxing:

At 135, Chavez by a pretty close but UD. At 130, Marquez by a really close SD/MD.

Marquez most. Likely. Loses. On points. Even if he does deserve. The nod.

I think it'll be a question of JMM can take Chavez pressure & body attack or or will JMM just time him coming in & counter his body attack well enough. Iether way I see Chavez winning a hard fought decission 7 rds to 5.

This fight is decided by who works the body more.

JMM by SD...:boxing:
