Chavez in his prime had all the tools to beat the floyd of today, he may or may not have beaten him for this is boxing and NOTHING IS WRITTEN IN STONE TILL IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS... but he sure had all the tools.
I think most people here only are only old enough to remember the 1990's bulky JCC. Not the athletic, well conditioned prime JCC who destroyed Azabache Martinez, Roger Mayweather, Edwin Rosario, and Meldrick TNT taylor.
Also, dont kid urselves, Castillo is good, but JCC was considerably better than castillo. He cut off the ring better, he had higher elevated thinking when it came to what should he do next to make his offense effective. He knew when to back up and when to go forward (this is major, as castillo needs to be told when to do so), Chavez defense was also better, and probably so was his chin (Rosario couldnt faze Chavez).
Everything that made Castillo effective against Floyd, Chavez did better, quicker, and more effective. I think everyone (who actually saw prime chavez) can at least admit that.
