Chavez too sturdy for that in my book, but Pacquiao would mete out more damage than he'd receive. An 8-4 type decision in my book. Chavez, at times, would really test Pacquiao --- just not enough for the nod.
this is what I was thinking as well. I don't think there's a fighter in history I'd pick to knock out/stop any non-shot version of Chavez.
A few years ago i went with Chavez but am starting to lean towards Manny now. he's proved he's been able to fight going backward, turn and counter punch just as well as being the aggressor. It would be an absolutely awesome fight though.
I would like to point out though that, as HutHut always says, Pac is seldom matched up with fighters who have good straight right hands... and when he has, he has struggled mightily Chavez's best punch was his straight right hand
pacquiao has looked great lately, but he has never convincingly defeated anyone close to the level of talent possessed by a prime Chavez.
Chavez would drop him , hurt him, and rape him! I don't mean like he'd whup him i mean he would actually rape him
Barrera was a terrific fighter, but he was not on Chavez's level Chavez was stronger, had a much better chin, heavier hands and eveyr bit as much as skill
