chavez sr would've been a stylistical nightmare for floyd

Oh yeah, that's definitely it. He "just didn't try" in the rematch. :smashfrea Iron Hambone-or Jawbone- I'm not sure what you're getting at, other than that it isn't complimentary. But suit yourself. I really only post here so that you can bestow upon us some of your eternal wisdom... I saw both fights at the times they took place, and Castillo's slow lethargic half-hearted performance was very marked. Mayweather fought the same as always, but Castillo didn't. By the way, those funny little figures are wasted on me, I have no idea what they represent. I grew out of kid stuff by my early teens.

Chavez at 130 or 135 the mid to late 80s version would have been a nightmare for floyd or any other fighter in history,, Chavez was granite chin, great body attack, great stamina, criminally underrated boxing skills, his jab and head movement where very effective, he could box off the back foot but would probably go straight at floyd, his combinations and punch accuracy where amazing, chavez got stronger as the fight went on, had great pop in either hand,, left hook was deadly so was the straight right that always seemed to land with a thud, At 130 or 135 chavez would be a nighmare for floyd,, if its at welter then i favor floyd to outbox him but at 130-135 i would say its a pick'em fight

In no way, shape or form can Floyd fight on the inside like Pernell. You needed to be able to not hold and actually fight on the inside like Pernell. Remember, if you're fighting Chavez Sr. he's the A side. The ref ain't gonna bail you out on the inside. REMEMBER THAT.

I said against Chavez. I never said Floyd was a better boxer. If you can't comprehend English than stop replying to my comments. But since your asking I do think Floyd is a better boxer. Lol or maybe it's you that can't comprehend, or just lack the ability to understand certain boxing terms. I said IN-fighter, meaning being better on the inside. I just find it hilarious that you think that considering Whitaker literally had Chavez's back against the ropes in several sequences of the fight, something that I hadn't seen done against Chavez with opponents that are his size. Do you think Floyd could back up Chavez and bang on the inside with him?

Floyd would've beat Chavez Sr, and don't even mention Antonio Plasterito. We're talking about greats, not a punching bag that Pac tortured.

Chevez sr gets picked apart something fierce. Antonio Margarito, (the one Floyd ducked), would be a stylistic nightmare for Floyd. Chavez didn't have the size, it's always been silly for people to act like Floyd is small. He's far more rangier than Chavez and would frustrate and control the smaller fighter with pinpoint accuracy for most of the fight. Antonio Margarito had all the tools, plus world class stamina, ( the one area where almost all the elite fighters Floyd fought lacked), to beat Floyd. Margarito's relentless pressure and ability to stay strong over 12 rounds would have worn Floyd down. I believe that's precisely why Floyd didn't want it.

agree or disagree?.. Yes of course Sr would have been a horrible match up for PBF but it goes both ways.

I dont see the similarities you guys see in Sweat P/ Mayweather. Two completely different styles if you ask me, Sweat P was in a league of his own, never replicated since, no one would dare.

You have to be kidding to think Floyd was a better in-fighter than Whitaker. My advice to you would be to go watch more film. I said against Chavez. I never said Floyd was a better boxer.

At 140 & 135 El Gran CAMPEON makes him quit like his uncle. At welter it'll be more competitive, but Chavez beats him.

Yes, prime JJC was a beast and twice the fighter Castillo was. He would have undeniably beaten Floyd at 135-140 seeing as how most think Castillo did anyways.

He did start faster in that fight although Sweat Pea still won, I don't care what the score was. But where I give Floyd the edge over Sweat Pea is he can fight on the inside. I think with Floyd's hand speed he could check hook + block Chavez' left hook to the body and counter that with the right upper cut on the inside.

That's true. He didn't give much away early against Pernell tho. Still got washed pretty badly going on.

Love JCC, but i think Floyd gives him hell. I also think Floyd is a better fighter now than when he fought Castillo. (and the injury did make a difference.) Injuries, weight draining, illness etc only counts when its against Floyd. To this day ppl will say corrales was drained against Floyd. But say he had a shoulder injury in the Castillo fight, which he did and which he had an operation for, and it doesn't count.

Depends at which point in time. .Chavez woulda got destroyed at 147. 135-140, it would be extremely close, toss up.

I bet puga has never even watched a single JCC fight.

Activity??? Chavez was a historically slow starter. He often gave away the first 4 rounds in most of his fights. You spot Floyd 4 rounds and it's over. That's true. He didn't give much away early against Pernell tho. Still got washed pretty badly going on.

I think Chavezs activity would've been too much for Floyd to be honest. Activity??? Chavez was a historically slow starter. He often gave away the first 4 rounds in most of his fights. You spot Floyd 4 rounds and it's over.

I think Floyd would have won but it would have been a hell of a close fight, I don't think the Sweet Pea fight (which many people will bring up) has much relevance since Whitaker and Mayweather fight differently. If you bring up Chavez-Whitaker, then we have to bring up Mayweather-Castillo (JLC is actually eerily similar to JCC) and we all know the first one was Floyd's toughest fight to date. Floyd was injured in that fight, I don't recall Chavez being injured in the Whitaker fight. The Castillo rematch would be a better point of comparison.
