    Same as I did. RJJ stands relatively alone in 168 pounds history. Calzaghe is closest to Jones, and even he isn't really close H2H.

    Hand speed in combination punching yes but not overall speed. Floyd's foot, and upperbody movements and his ability to feint is unmatched at 130-140. Plus his defense and boxing ability were superior to Taylor and Camacho. It will not be easy for Chavez to deal with if Floyd brings his A game.

    I don't have a strong opinion about the rest, but the first fighter that comes to mind when you mention the word 'unbeatable' is prime Roy Jones. He was miles ahead of his peers.

    Chavez was also a lot more skilled technically than Castillo, and had better power, chin, footwork, stamina... he was better than Castillo at virtually everything. Castillo was a little taller and had slightly longer arms, but that's about it.

    It's close to a 50-50 fight.

    Was Tito not in his prime years when he fought DLH at 147 in 1999 or Hopkins at 160 in 2001 ?

    Even if you want to go somewhere in between were Tito was at 154, he still gets blown out by Hearns at that weight so Trinidad is definitely not unbeatable at any time or weight in his career. Very good-great fighter at his best but unbeatable ?... far from it.

    :good

    Castillo was Chavez's main Sparring partner they know each other very well. Castillo was basically Chavez's little bro and have very similar style.

    Definitely Chavez is stronger than Castillo, i wouldn't gave boxing IQ though or footwork. Castillo was a very smart boxer.

    I don`t know what this has to do with me picking Julio Cesar Chavez over floyd at 130.

    For the record tho... I think it would be a real good & probably tight fight between floyd & JCC at 130 lbs... floyd looked better at 130 than he did at 135... Chavez looked better at 135 than he did at 130... I still favour Chavez at 130 but as I said, I think it might be a tight fight.... at 135 tho, Chavez beats him decisively IMO. That version of Chavez was a ****in phenom, he could hang with any 135 lber in history.

    Chavez is Castillo`s superior in every single aspect of boxing, Jose Luis Castillo does nothing as good as Chavez.

    Judging by what ur saying then how the hell is Chavez going to beat FLoyd then?

    Besides Power and possibly chin Floyd outguns him in every area. Is easy to punch through a combination puncher but not against someone is a boxer puncher with a blur feint counter punch ability. Zero trading.

    Well, Floyd always lose lop sided polls when it's him against natural WW'S. like Sugar Ray or Hearns.

    Floyd at 130-135 looks much more unbeatable then at higher weights.

    Aaron Pryor should also be on this list. There is a high number of people who he would have whooped.
