    Chavez never fought a guy who could bully him.
    Duran could have..better skilled and naturally bigger.
    Duran late stoppage

    147 isn't fair. The Duran that beat Palamino and Leonard would definitely stop Chavez at 147... JCC couldn't effectively carry 147.

    It only makes sense to match them at 135, where BOTH were at their peaks.

    Duran would beat Chavez at lightweight - competitive, yet very clear decision. Just a better fighter in virtually every way.

    But once again, I don't see what the Hell the point is of matching them at 147.

    Even the shot Chavez Sr. couldn't get all the way up to 147 for the DLH re-match
