P4P, DLH or Chavez?

alright i want you 2 mention Dlh accomplishments and the best boxers he's beaten and compare it 2 chavez.

I respect the fact that you explain why you think Chavez would take DLH at 140. I just think that DLH's movement and jab would be enough to get a points win over Chavez. I know Taylor was a mover but DLH was very strong at 140 while Meldrick was feather fisted like Corey Spinks.

You have a good point but i believe if his jab, movement, and power, wasnt enough for Oscar to keep a over-weight, spent, slower, inmobile, and older Chavez from landing vicious shots to his face.

The prime 140lb Chavez would have been much more effective and destructive. his defensive movements were also better then by the way.

I respect opinions and all but your point is not what I wanted to discuss. I ain't taking anything from Chavez. He beat great fighters fair and square. Guys like Camacho, Haugen, Rosario, Hernandez, and so on. But I was talking about skills and physical attributes. I think everything was crystal clear on my original post.

oh duh many boxers looked prettier then chavez in the ring but all that counted was the win and the pride and courage he had.

Point accepted. But I also think that DLH was a force to be reckoned with at 140 and a much better fighter than he is today. I'll say it would be a highly contested battle between two awesome fighters. Determination and courage might win it for one of them.

I never questioned the guy's courage and determination. It's all on the first post. I am done discussing about that.

well everyone has there opinion.

delahoya will never be better than chavez!!!

Both are great fighters but comparing both at the prime of their careers at welterweight I would have to lean with Chavez. The guy was just too determined and would give Oscar pain like he never expierienced before with body shots and complete round by round pressure. He actually was trying to fight like this when he and Oscar met in the ring but was too slow to avoid punches and his face just had been through too many wars. Oscar is still fighting and could regroup to overtake Chavez if he wins a legitimate Middleweight title from Tito or Hops.... its not likely but I'd have to give Oscar the edge if he does this.

A prime Chavez already fought a prime De La Hoya...... In the mold of Meldrick Taylor. Taylor and De La Hoya are pretty much mirror images of each other in terms of athletic ability, and we all saw what happened to Taylor. I also think that Chavez's athletic ability is a bit underrated, I mean how else would you explain Chavez repeatedly catching a guy w/ catlike reflexes in Taylor w/ left hooks. I wouldn't count out the possibility of JCC winning by k.o. or t.k.o. against De La Hoya Oscar has proven that he shys away from physical fights.
