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

[Rossman]

NO but its not Floyd fault this era blows

His whole has been about careful choices, all the fighters over the years he refused to fight, how could it not be his fault.

I'm Mexican and I beleive JCC is over rated! He beat up like 80 taqueros and cab drivers. 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. That being said Floyd has never not will he ever fight someone on Ray Leonard's level period!

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

IMO, I don't know why i'm alone on this, but I just think prime/past prime De La Hoya would always beat the living crap out of young/prime/peak/old Chavez Sr. That's just me. Nothing in their fights showed me that Chavez had anything for DLH no matter what version of him appeared in the ring. Similar to Mayweather vs Marquez.

DLH vs Chavez I and II were too big of a beating to think any version of Chavez would come remotely close to beating DLH. It was a slaughter against a still top 5 Chavez. I'm just not buying into the hype of the 100+ fights. I think Mosley would have always destroyed Chavez Sr too.

I agree with this entire post.....wanted to post something similar to this but you said it all

Lol @ Mayweather fans overrating fighters to appear as though they were as great as Chavez Sr and Leonard.

To answer the question though, it's a clear NO.

[soul_survivor]

His father fought Sugar Ray Leonard and Roger Mayweather fought Julio Chavez Sr, has Floyd fought any one with the status and skill of those 2?

Floyd **** replies, "Hell yeah dawg, ma ***** home boy be facin Baldomir"

Real Boxing fan looks at this thread, rolls his eyes and walks off

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.

Lets just say that people agree with your statement. It's not like Floyd fought the best version of those who you named. Mosley and Oscar were way past their prime and Marquez was fighting at 130 the year before fighting Floyd at WW.

the simple answer is no, but some interesting talk in this thread

[Holywarrior]

Mayweather has always been more concerned with remaining undefeated than fighting someone like Chavez Sr. and Leonard.

Does Chavez SR get a pass for avoiding Pea forever ?
