What are your thoughts about Trinidad vs. Chávez Sr. at 147?

[Exciterx30]

So, I have been watching classic JCC fights and remembered that this fight was being mentioned around 1994. Both are battle tested warriors who loved infighting and going toe to toe. Chávez had one of the best boxing records ever and he would be going against one of the hardest punching welterweights of all time. Trinidad was undefeated at 147 and never lost a firefight, he was also the naturally bigger guy although Chávez had a big edge in experience and championship fights.

What are your thoughts? Maybe it's too much to ask to a few around here but try to keep it boxing related at all times. It would be nice to have a good, troll free discussion going.

Chavez was way past it as a welterweight and Tito was prime in that weight. Tito wins by TKO.

Exactly what he said.

Come on now. Chavez has no business at 147.

The simple case of a fighter being naturally bigger and younger against an older naturally smaller fighter. Their careers never crossed paths.

Chavez Sr fought ODLH at 140 and Whitaker on a CW

Chavez would have made it interesting with his will and determination but I don't see him beating Tito at 147. That was above his jurisdiction. Chavez wasn't prime at 147 either.

Only Oscar truly gave Tito a run for his money(thoroughly outclassing Tito) at 147 I can't see a out of his prime Chavez sr. beating him at that weight it would be a hell of a scrap while it lasted.

This, more or less, is what I think of the fight. I also think Chávez' experience in big fights could be a factor but Trinidad had all the physical advantages.

Those picking either Trinidad or Chávez, get your votes in as well as your thoughts.

People like to call Chavez old even at 140. But really he gave Gonzales hell and didn't lose from '96 until DLH years late at welter. Chavez is underrated but to act like he ****** is lame.

I still go with Tito
