Mayweather vs Chavez jr, what would happen?

[THE REED]

The only way Floyd doesn't beat Chavez Jr, is if he gets caught by a single KO punch... or at 35/36 yrs old he doesn't have the legs to keep on the move.

If we assume it's the floyd of 32-33 years old with good legs... it's a wrap.

[THE REED]

he could, if valuev never lands a punch. which he proly wouldnt.

I can't see how he does.

It doesn't matter.

Floyd doesn't need power to win, he doesn't have to hurt Chavez to win.

All he has to do is pot shot, stay in the center of the ring.

JCC isn't quicker on his feet either, he wouldn't be trapping anyone on the ropes, and Floyd wouldn't let him just beat on his body. It would be a case of JCC JR trying to find the target all night and failing.

Anyone who's been in the ring and fought or sparred knows full well that weight doesn't mean anything if you're in the ring with a quick master boxer. You could have 50lbs on them and it doesn't make a difference if you can't keep up.

Either Chavez lands a bomb and knocks him out or he barely wins a round.

I beg to differ on the bold. Weight absolutely matters in this fight. Chavez doesn't need to think if Floyd cannot hurt him. Chavez is a bad matchup for Floyd. No one can tell me Chavez won't be able to find Floyd & body up on him in the space of 12 rounds.

Chavez wouldn't come in there trying to think. There's no need. cut of the ring, force Floyd to the ropes & work the body. Chavez will land, it's rediculous to think that he won't. We're not talking fighters like Oscar or ortiz, we're talking about a huge, bonified body puncher. Floyd's potshot will be worthless & useless as Chavez walks him down & forces him into the corner. Matter of fact the only way Floyd even looks halfway decent if it's Cortez in there refusing to allow Chavez to body Floyd up.

Picture JLC exept almost twice as big with twice as much power. Big problems for floyd who is an average size or smaller welterweight, come on homey.

JCC JR has the youth, size, and most importantly, skillz advantage over Floyd.

JR KO's Floyd in less than 3 rounds.

Chavez isn't forcing Floyd to the ropes that easily. Floyd can circle Chavez faster than Chavez can run him backwards... Floyd can side step faster than Chavez can cut off the ring. It's a basic side step and circle, pot shot. Floyds potshots won't be worthless, because they will be clean, accurate, wow the crowd and score points.

In the center of the ring, Chavez doesn't have a prayer, Floyd will slip and counter and move. Floyds footwork and reflexes win this fight.

No discussion needed here, Chavez is way too big for Floyd. 181? C'mon y'all, seriously?

[Drunk Punch]

A guy that walks in at CW vs a guy that maintains a healthy WW physique. Not really a fair match up.

[The MiZ]

Anyone here think Floyd could beat Valuev?

I disagree entirely. Chavez's size plays a determining factor in this fight along with the body punchers mentality. There is no way that Floyd goes 12 rounds without getting hit. Those middleweight power body shots are gonna fold Floyd over. Floyd has never sustain a constant attack on his body. He is used to fighting boxers or boxer punchers that head hunt. He can move & potshot all day, however we're talking about a Floyd that hasn't been moving much in his last 2 fights.
