Chavez, as long as it's early after his jump to 140. I think JCC is the better fighter, but he would need to be fighting at his best to win it.
i think this is a closer fight then what a lot of people think......to me its 50/50 and i give a slight edge to chavez if pressed......becasue i could see him using strength and walking manny down and going to work against manny on the ropes.......but i can also see manny moving all night against chavez.....and getting a points win..... it would either be chavez by KO, if he just overpowers manny and manny cant take it..... UD Pacquaio because of speed and being the better ring technician if he executed the right game plan......VERY close fight IMO
The thing that swings it in JCC's favor for me is that Pac will NOT allow a good shot to go unanswered. His best chance to win is to dart in and out, landing his shots and trying to stay out of range. I don't think his mental makeup will allow him to do that, he'll go to war when he gets hit, and he WILL get hit, and that's a huge mistake against JCC.
After watching what meldrik taylor was able to do with his speed I'd actually favour pacquiao becuase pacs got the speed and also he boxes smart wen he needs to. I'd say chavez gets stopped on cuts in a FOTY
Pacquiao 8 rounds to 4 for Chavez. I'm not hatting on Chavez but he is overrated at 140. He also has trubble with speed. Pacquiao has speed. Yes there is always the chance for a late round ko win for Chavez but that is his only real chance for a win
Ignore the avater (or dont, doesnt matter) Chavez would beat Pacquiao down, I think he stops him no later than 11 rds. It would be a barn burner until about rd 7 or 8 when Pac starts to slow thru the accumulation damage done inside by JCC. It might even look as if Pac was doing better because of styles & the way they throw their punches but the facts would be revealed before the end. Chavez TKO11 Pacquiao No doubt.
As tough as Manny is, he wouldnt be able to take what Taylor took that night for 12 rds & Taylor is faster & quicker of foot than Manny anyway, Pac wont be able to land near as much as MT did without getting severely damaged, I dont see Pac having any better than a 30% chance vs any 140 version of Chavez from Roger Mayweather rematch - Hector Camacho.... dont see it at all.
