Has Floyd fought someone as good as Chavez Sr and Leonard?

I don't know why people like to pretend Chavez was some great defensive fighter in his prime and rarely got hit, its ridiculous.

Agreed. Chavez is overrated in general about pretty much everything.

[ElMeroChingon]

Skill wise, IMO, Mosley, Marquez and De La Hoya > Chavez Sr. Not greater, just skill wise.

Leonard? No one, and that's not a fair question because there's no one that has been out there in Floyd's era to match SRL.

Mosley? Pre or post Roided Mosley?

[Ham Porter]

A prime Hoya and prime JCC would have ended up worst because Chavez was a warrior and would have been far more aggressive allowing Oscar to bomb on him more.

What did you think he did in the rematch? Hit him with everything in the book, against an even older, slower version of Chavez and was still involved in a competitive affair. Yet a much younger Chavez is out of his depth?

How does being Mexican vindicate an assessment of Chavez?? It doesn't make it any more reliable or valuable .

So people don't make assumptions and yes it makes a huge difference because the majority of Mexicans praise Chavez and go what? Like I said he fought over 60 bums

Yes Chavez is over rated

[Ham Porter]

You're entitled to your opinion, but your reasoning is still ******.

To answer the thread,,, no,, floyd has no one on his resume as good as a prime SRL or prime Chavez that his dad and uncle fought...

Mayweather and Pacquiao are their own respective Leonard, Chavez Snr, Hagler, Hearns, and Duran of their generation.

Very true, and them not fighting will forever hurt their legacys.... Floyd more so than manny,,,, Manny had alot of great battles in the lower weights vs top guys like mab, em, jmm... Floyd lacks those great rivalries, and so him not fighting manny will have a bigger impact on his legacy as a whole IMO
