Chavez was too smart, but he did struggle against fighters with speed it would be epic!!!!!!!

Chavez knocks him out with a body shot.

[Pacquiao'd]

Pacquiao has little to no infighting ability and is most vulnerable against the ropes against body shots and uppercuts.

-Chavez was one of the best ever at cutting off the ring while maintaining defense
-Chavez is one of the best infighters ever
-Chavez is one of the best body punchers ever
-Chavez was one of the best combination punchers ever(especially when it came to mixing up head and body shots)
-Chavez had a very sneaky but powerful left uppercut

Not to mention he was one of the toughest bastards ever with a ridiculously strong chin and a very good lead right hand(Which past prime Morales was able to land pretty well on Pacquiao).

no offense meant to Pacquiao, I just see Chavez as a bad style matchup for him.(it would still be a competitive fight)
On the other hand, I think Pacquiao would completely destroy Aaron Pryor at 140lbs.

toss up fight for me.

a few years ago , i'd have said chavez for sure but with how pac has been looking at 147......


50/50 fight.

i see pacquiao winning by decision or maybe tko win by way of cuts.

i don't see pacquiao knocking out chavez. maybe knock him down. maybe. but definitely won't ko chavez.


chavez i see winning by ko or tko by wearing him down to the body and maybe scoring a tko win by battering pacquiao on the ropes or even dropping him with a liver shot.


no matter who wins...... chavez face is gonna be a mess and pacquiao will be peeing blood after the fight.

Would be one hell of a fight. I'd love to see it.

I think Chavez would have problems with Pacquaio's speed. Then again, Pac would have problems with Chavez skillful pressure and if he gets inside Pac would have some problems.

I agree with LeftHookTua, this is a toss up for me.

I don't see Pac stopping Chavez, Chavez chin is too good. One of the best chins I've ever witnessed. And I don't think it will be one of those where he takes an almight beating and the refs pulls him out. I.e if Chavez were to fight Duran.

I think it goes to a descision in an epic fight. Possibly a trilogy.

Agree completely with both. Very close fight. I think with Chavez at his very best, I'd have to take him. I think that type of offensive fighter, ie. one who uses counter punches and subtle defense to slip and get inside and work the body very well with a super strong chin, good speed etc, would give Pac major problems.

Saying that, Pac's speed would give Chavez trouble too. But it's very different speed than someone like Taylor's. Pac is more than happy to trade and takes as many punches as he lands and against someone like Chavez, that spells big trouble. I have a feeling that Chavez would wear Pac's body down and start hurting him badly late in the fight.

Chavez had boxing skills that would equal someone like Morales in my opinion. He just used them inside more than outside. But, it's the same principle in that he had the right tools to wear Pac's offensive onslaught and come back with great, hard counters that would land and get him inside where he would work the body.

It's a hard one to say. I would go with Chavez in a super close one ATM, but would most certainly not disagree with anyone saying Pac would take it too.
Trilogy maybe...

pac would beat him to much in and out strait lefts catch him comeing in. pac hits harder than frankie randle and meldrick taylor pac by ud imo

[LeG00N]

I'd favor Chavez by TKO or KO
He would definitely have trouble with Pacquiaos speed and power combined with his in and out style

But I think Chavez's relentless body attack would eventually wear Pacquiao down.

I wouldn't be surprised If Pacquiao took a stoppage via cuts or just edged him on points

was it.....

yes, from sparring
