    So for me one of the greatest Mexican fighters who ever laced em up, who's the guys that you are confident beat him at lightweight?
    The Chavez that battered Rosario.

    Maybe prime Meldrick Taylor or Pernell Whitaker, Chavez looked really flawed in his fights vs those two speedsters.

    One of only a handful that, at lightweight, I'd pick to beat JCC.

    I would confidently pick Ike Williams, Roberto Duran, Pernell Whitaker, Tony Canzoneri and Benny Leonard to beat him at 135.

    Surely Taylor and Whitaker were in their prime when they fought Chavez?

    Would Terence Crawford, Lomachenko or Gervonta Davis have beaten him?

    Benny Leonard, class fighter, now he could perhaps get a decision win, perhaps a few scary moments along the way.

    Ike williams v Chavez.
    Williams gets a split decision win but is left battered and bruised.

    Crawford too big. Loma and Tank won't have beaten him.

    Whittaker was best at Lightweight I'd say. Chavez wasn't no welter either tbf.

    Oscar De La Hoya every day of the week. Chavez couldn't cope with his height and power.

    Yes, but there was only 2 seconds left in the Taylor fight and Pernell certainly beat Chavez, he looked very beatable in both of those fights.
