If you asked me before, I woulda said Chavez, without even thinking 'bout it. Ask me know, and I really can't pick a winner. I'm leaning towards Manny. Either way the fight would be fuckin' nuts.
Manny vs Prime Chavez (Sr) = BRUTALITY

Funny you brought this up Perro, I was thinking the same thing today in class. My thoughts are right in line with johncods.
Pac stops Chavez by cuts.Comment

P4P, I like PAC in this matchup. Now, realistically, Chavez Sr is the naturally bigger man. And, I know, everyone is in awe right now, of PAC destroying a naturally bigger man in Cotto. But, in terms of similarities, I think it ends there between Cotto and Chavez Sr. both Cotto and Chavez are ****ers as well, but Chavez did it at a much higher level.
Y'all have to remember, eventhough Chavez had shown numerous times to have problems with quick moving fighters and southpaws, he ended getting the W against all of 'em during his prime, although, I do think Sweet Pea was jobbed in his fight against El Campeon.
I mean, Chavez has fought three of some of the fastest fighters in history, Taylor, Camacho Sr., Whitaker. I ain't including DLH 'cause he was already on the downslide then.
I think PAC gives alot of other great fighters from the past problems no matter what.
One thing Chavez ain't seen is the combination that PAC brings, PAC can slug it out and jump in from long range real fast and has the ko power. Whereas, the Camacho's, Taylor's and Whitaker weren't really ko artists and were really more like boxer punchers.Comment

Good analysis, but this last statement is why I see Pac getting the victory.
He has the amazing combination of blazing speed with crunching power.
People have been wanting a Mike Tyson replacement,
hes been here for quite awhile now.Comment

I'd pick Pacquiao to win as well but if Chavez Sr. manages to do what he did with Meldrick Taylor, what I mean is if he can get to Pacquiao's body with regularity even if he's losing rounds, the late rounds would be very interesting.Comment
