Castillo was a miny Chavez at his best to say the least. Julio was so much more of a dominant fighter then Castillo. that pressure and body punching was relentless and even Pacman would have eventually folded like a lawn chair.Comment

You've been trying to put your take about this mythical match-up, and if somebody says otherwise, they're grasshoppers? They don't know their boxing? Why? Do you own a Delorean that can go as fast as 88 miles an hour?
Just like somebody said, the old school boxers are held more in high esteem than any other current active boxer. These daydreamers think the boxers of yesteryears are the **** and can't be beat, and if you go against the tide, they'll say you know nothing about boxing and they know they can't be proved wrong on what they say, while the weak minded will probably just go along with the tide and nod in unison the rest of the way.
I know a few who's not a grasshopper in these part of the woods, and the one thing they hate most is to follow, they rather lead. Which one are you?Last edited by gopi11; 09-11-2009, 02:38 AM.Comment

Spoken like a true daydreamer...
There's no such thing as a sure thing in boxing dude, that's why they still FIGHT the fights today, just like 50/100 years ago. Nobody wins on paper in this day and age, still...Comment

Pacquiao is a great fighter but a hittable and vunerable fighter at times. I have seen Pacquiao hurt more times then I have seen Chavez hurt in his prime. Chavez had a super human chin and could walk thru anything thrown at him. Then you throw in the body attack and finally the unrelenting pressure. That pressure is what swallowed his opponents.
I think it would be a great fight but in the end Chavez would break Pacquiao after a war.
I respect this kind of post here. This poster says, "I think", which means his take is what it is, his take. He didn't shove it to anybody else's throat like what he's saying was gospel truth, and he ain't even a 4 time champ...Comment

why dont you worry about what you think, you're doing the same thing hes doing when you critisize him, hes angry because ppl are saying **** without a reason and just making idiotic comments like "manny wins because he is faster than pernell and we all know what happend when chavez fought pernell"
wuts chavez not being a 4 division champ have to do with anything?
and ppl dont like giving modern fighters chances against older fighters because we are in a less competitive time in boxing then in the past, the competition available now isnt as great as the competition beforeComment

JCC breaks Pacquiao down and he does it quick.
Why?
Because Pacquiao comes in to fight and walks right in to Chavez' style. JCC created more damage in his prime. In his prime he hardly ever cut. And Pacquiaos face would be a bloddy mess before hes finally had a enough in the 6th takes a knee and Roach throws in the towel. Pacquiao has actually cut quite a bit and JCC knew how to bust up and cut fighters.
That is not even adding to the fact that JCC's lead right was a thing of beauty and Pac is way open for it, and the fact pacquiao is for the most part a clean fighter and Chavez was not, he had grit. Pacquiao simply wouldn't know what to do as punches and elbows rain in on him he raises his arms to signify it didn't hurt only to catch even more shots as he leaves himself open.Comment
