lol same here. as much as i love marquez, i have a feeling chavez would win.

but i have never seen chavez's fights at 130, only his 140+ fights.

the mans all class, heart, skill, and dedication. hes my favorite active fighter right now but i dont want him to take a 3rd manny fight. hes getting old and he wouldnt fair well against manny roght now. unless he puts a massive and quick ass whipping on diaz and even then i do want him to shup katsidis fans up that would be an easy fight for him.

I actually want to see if Pacquiao can scratch that little itch of his (Marquez). If Pac can make 135 comfortably, it should be at 135. 140+ wouldn't be fair at all to Marquez. Maybe a catchweight @ 137?

this particular fight, Marquez wins.

WAAAAAAAY too skilled as a boxer/ counter puncher. Marquez wins a wide decision with a knock down some time in the fight.

lets see ow he does against diaz first

At 130, I'm taking Marquez. His style is built to take down guys like Chavez, and as much heart and will as Chavez has, Marquez can match it. He wins because of the style matchup.
