Does Oscar Dela Hoya beat a PRIME J C Chavez at 147

[My Name Is...]

HELL NO JCC wipes his ass with Goldie. If Meldrick could not stop him Goldie definatley would not be able to.

Chavez beat no one after his fight with taylor at 140. Wasn't he embarrased by All Time great Willy Wise? Oscar beats Chavez at 147 and 140. Chavez did thing at 130 and 135 after that he fell off. I like Chavez and respected him immensly as a kid but looking back at his career he really wasn't all that. He dominated 2 divisions which is outsatnding but not all time great or top 20 like I've seen him portayed as. Oscar's career superceeds chavez.

dominating 2 divisions (although his time @ 135 was very short) is not too shabby at all. i mean seriously, how many divisions did oscar dominate? he bat one world class lightweight during his time there, his best wins were over jr. lightweight champs/contenders moving up. at 140, he beat chavez and mago, but everyone and their mother knew randall was better than chavez at that point. at 147, he beat some contenders, but against the top WWs, it was one controversial decision after another (pea, tito, ike) before losing to shane. and i don't really think 2 quality wins at 154 means oscar dominated that division.

if u pick oscar based on size and style, i won't really disagree that much, but i don't see the lack of dominating divisions being a real downpoint. dominating a division is not a common thing.

Oscar would have HANDLED JLC at any weight, 140 probably. He's a Meldrick Taylor with power and with more range.

taylor and the fishnet don't fight much alike.

taylor had an amazing workrate and was a better in-fighter than de la hoya, and quicker of hand, but did not have the power of de la hoya, nor the discipline to box more like oscar. taylor was hot-headed and wanted to brawl too much.

oscar was also more sound defensively.

Chavez was no good at 147 so yeah

i can see why u say Oscar cause J C C haveez was'nt great at 147 however that was probably more to do with age & diminishing skills & Oscar was very good at 147, however Chavez in his prime would have beaten Oscar he would have slowed Oscar down over the coarse of a 12 rounder with his left hooks to the body etc & he would have sapped Oscar's suspect stamina & come on strong towards the end of the fight to win a decision IMO

Or maybe he gets cut, his blood is all over the place and the fight would be stopped.
