Anywhere from 130-140lbs between these guys would have been an epic barn burner. I watched the JC Chavez v Ruben Castillo fight (130lbs) from '85 the other day and I was reminded of how much of a true badass Chavez was in his day. Boxingscene is filled with insolent ******* tweeners who never saw a pre-21st century Chavez fight before yet go around calling the guy an overrated bum. I'm a Pacquiao fan, but I cannot imagine him beating a prime JCC. Chavez was way too sharp, relentless and IRON-chinned to be beaten by Manny IMO. Meeting in their respective primes (preferably around 130-135), I think Chavez KOs/TKOs Manny inside of 10. One of the most intriguing of the modern day mythical matchups for sure.
