    its not his fault there is no fighter with the skills of Chavez Sr and Leonard out there of course its my opinion. I cant name not one fighter who even comes close to Chavez Sr in this era and he is the guy with the less skills of the 2.If Mayweather would have fought the guys he needed to fight it still wouldn't change anything THIS ERA SUCKS and that goes for Pac cherry picking ass too

          No but honestly Floyd is really the only great fighter of his era you can put Pacquiao up there but everybody else Floyd beat.

          De La Hoya
          Marquez
          Cotto
          Mosley

          Regardless of what anybody wants to say those were the best fighters of his era and he beat all of em if he beats Pacquiao he beat everybody he had to now this not the best era of boxing but he is the best of his class

            Don King kept Chavez away from Pea for years. How old are you?

              Regardless, I just don't see what a prime 5'7", 66" reach Chavez, no matter how great, could do to such a strong, powerful, strong chinned, well defended, 5' 11" De La Hoya with mid 70s reach. I just don't see it

              DLH would always be too big, too strong, too powerful, too technical for his size. It would just always be a slaughter and i;m not buying the whole "Chavez was too past it to gauge anything". All I need to see is the size difference, along with the special attributes of both fighters, to see that P4P, prime vs prime, DLH would always crush Chavez.
              No he was pretty clearly well passed his prime. Well passed it.

              I'm not necessarily dis*****g what you're saying.

              I'm saying their fight doesn't tell us anything like your assessment was saying.

                There's your answer right there.
                So is Deontay Wilder.

                There's your answer right there.

                  He can fight the best fighters of his era in their prime, something he's avoided at all costs.

                    DLH would always be a nightmare.
