How would Floyd handle Chavez Sr? I know those who are not fans of Chavez will always bring up the questionable draw vs Pea as if to show that Floyd would beat Chavez Sr. (Prime vs Prime). One thing to remember is that Chavez vs Whittiker took place at 147. Had the fight taken place at 140 or 135. It may have been a different story. Chavez was not as effective above 140. I think a fight between Chavez vs Floyd or Pea at 140 would have been very winnable fights. In the lower weight ...Julio's pressure and power would've had a bigger affect. Another thing to keep in mind is that Mayweather didn't move as much as pea. He would have been more prone to Julio's body attack and pressure as he was in the Castillo fight. This is a very winnable fight for Chavez at 140 or below but not at 147.
It's more winnable for JCC at 130-135 than 140. I think there's quite a few ATGs that would beat Chavez at 140, and Floyd is one of them.
Roger became an excellent fighter with a height and reach benefit which gave Chavez problems, however now not sufficient to save him from getting knocked out although.
chavez had more speed at 130/135 (than he did at 140).....i agree his best chance is at those weights.
