Comments Thread For: Chavez Sr: At 140-Pounds, I Would Have F***ed Mayweather Up!

[SkillspayBills]

Are F10m0s really acting like Mayweather is miles better than Sweet Pea????

if that's so, I'll tell you something that is actually true, JCC was miles better than Castillo.

Pernell beat Chavez just like Floyd would beat Chavez (I dare you to say he didn't). It wouldn't be close.

De la Hoya once said Floyd was more difficult to hit with a clean shot than Sweet Pea was. However, Oscar was prime when he faced Pernell and not prime when he faced Floyd so that needs to be taken into account.

Lmao they're using Sweet Pea now since I pointed out Meldrick Taylor.

Who are "they" exactly?

Anyways, Pernell embarrassed Chavez, Taylor was doing so but was eventually broke down although he should have been allowed to finish the fight and Frankie Randall beat Chavez once and Chavez quit the second time. Floyd at 140 was probably at his best based on the eye test although he only fought twice there. There's nothing that would favor Chavez in a mythical fight, irregardless if you like Floyd or not.

Every body overrating F@gweather on his performance on past prime gatti...what else is new

Floyd at 140 was at his absolute peak. Size, skill, power, speed. It was when he had an almost perfect blend if defense and offense. And he actually grew into that weight. He could have stayed there and dominated for a while but he moved up to chase the big fights which actually worked out for him. Chavez sr. By comparison definitely slowed down at 140 and he was definitely undersized. No way he beats Floyd at 140. I suggest people actually watch both guys instead of just jumping on one bandwagon or the other.

Great post! I actually feel Floyd robbed many of seeing him at his absolute best by passing through 140. He was nearly flawless at that weight and as you said, had the right blend of offense, defense, speed and power.

Mythical fights are both fighters at their prime meaning cavez vs randall was chavez 90th fight lot of wear and tear thats 90 training camps if prior fights didnt wear him down those 90 training camps might of wore him out a bit dont u think prime chavez was the chavez that beat edwin rosario vs the flyd that beat castillo how bout that 4 a mythical mat ch up

[mexicanstyle]

Exactly just like their measuring a chaves in mid 30s while on coke the chavez that beat rosario ,duplesis,smith jl ramires a clean chaves at 135 or the begining of his 140 reign lets not forget he started at featherweight.

mexican fighters to me represent everything that is great about boxing ; they come to fight. mayweather was a master of not being hit. so imho just like everytime a thoght he had a hard fight hed win easy. julio would be punching thin air
