Julio Cesar Chavez (from 1989-92) vs. Kostya Tszyu at 140

[pvj]

I see chavez chin and body shots paying dividends the first 6 rounds until he eventually stops him in the later rounds.

Prime Chavez grinds him down and stops him in my opinion. Just like he did to everyone else who wasn't a slick mover.

It depends on how Kostya reacts to jcc punches. If he can take it, I'll give him more than a puncher's chance.

Kostya can punch and is very awkward with underrated boxing ability. His timing is also very good. His advantge is that he does not need to find jcc because jcc will be on his face.

I just imagine a good action packed fight.

i agree with this statement

Chavez would get blitzed.


Tsyzu is just as physically strong and can keep him at the end of his jab and earn his respect coming in


Chavez used educated pressure...he wasnt a **** it type pressure fighter like Hatton

Tyszu doesnt need time to think and Chavez was a bit too methodical.

The Chavez that Kostya beat was a 38-year-old, shot, ring worn shell of the fighting machine he used to be. The bout happened after he had already lost to the likes of Willie Wise.

Prime Chavez was a whole different animal.
