Was Chavez ever KTFO? Out cold? Ice cold?Both men rose up from nothing to become giants of the sport. But who had the better career overall?
Chavez reached an epic 87-0 before his draw with Whitaker. On his way, he captured titles at 130, 135 and 140. He has more title wins than anyone else in boxing history(although they were for alphabet titles, but still in an era where 2 or 3 were recognized). He has wins over Roger Mayweather(twice), Rocky Lockridge, Edwin Rosario, Jose Luis Ramirez, Alberto Cortes, Meldtick Taylor(twice), John Duplessis, Angel Hernandez, Hector Camacho, Greg Haugen, Frankie Randall(twice), Tony Lopez and Joey Gamache.
Pacquiao won titles in eight divisions(in an era with four recognized titles). Still, it's a remarkable feat to move up so high from flyweight. I don't think any other flyweight champion has moved up so high successfully. He holds wins over Lehlo Ledwaba, Jorge Eliecer Julio, Marco Antonio Barrera(twice), Juan Manuel Marquez(twice), Erik Morales(twice), Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey, Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley, Timothy Bradley(twice) and Brandon Rios.
Who had the better run?
Can you post their KO percentages over their careers and in championship fights?
Thanks buddy.

Pacquiao.
ppv star, p4p king longer, more weight classes, more decorated than Sr.
has to do with the timing too with the social media internet era which Sr. didnt have.Comment

Pacman.
Don't kill me, but I've always felt Chavez was supremely overrated. I'm tired of people bringing up his 87-0 start as a way to diminish Mayweather's 49-0, which is more impressive.Comment

Over Pac's entire career, his KO percentage was 58%. Over the course of Chavez's entire career, his KO percentage was 75%.
In World Title Fights-
Pac at 53% (I didn't count his fights for International titles- only recognized "world" titles)
Chavez at 68%
Julio clearly has him beat on knockouts.Comment
