    Does anyone honestly think Chavez would have withstood that famous assault from Ike Williams the way Jack did?.....ya know the one where Williams asks the ref to stop it then continues hitting Jack?....If he didn't wilt under that, Chavez couldn't do much to him..... Plus he is very underrated skillwise, given the films I have seen of him...........Jack wins this one, either by UD or Chavez quitting....with plenty of bitching and crying by Chavez afterward.

    This has been done a few times in the last year it seems...and its a great match.

    Dont know about Chavez quitting Reno..not in his prime, he has a wicked chin himself.

    Beau is very underrated though and would push Julio all the way. But Chavez is just a bit better all around and I see him getting a clear decision verdict by the end.

    I agree with that. Chavez, in his prime isn't quitting, and his skill set is just one step above Jack, I think Chavez wins.

    Seeing Beau Jack's name, thought you might appreciate this poem:

    Philadelphia, 1946.
    Night. My father and I are walking home
    along a pavement raked by swirling snowflakes
    wherever the wind kicks up. Having just emerged
    from under the beamed shadows of the El
    we cross to the Arena, heading home
    – to mashed potatoes, sisters, downcast eyes,
    anger and sullen silence – past the wall
    in which a door stands open and I see
    in luminous blackness hundreds of black shapes,
    heads and shoulders, the sides of faces silvered
    in swirls of smoke, the embers of cigars
    glowing an instant and then blacking out –
    far off in the black depths the source of light,
    the canvas square of ring circled by kliegs
    and a slim brown man who has a bigger man
    pinned on the ropes, digging blood-red gloves
    methodically, like a man chopping wood,
    into his ribs, the white skin splotching pink.
    Could I have seen at that distance the rocking
    and ripple of muscle under the bronze skin
    or did I just imagine all of this?
    It couldn’t have been much more than a second –
    my father was a very impatient man –
    but there it is, as radiant as just now.
    My arm was jerked hard, I was dragged away
    wondering desperately who the man was – then
    there he was on a poster, fists cocked, poised,
    smiling behind his gloves. I have forgotten
    the name of his opponent but not his name.
    I loved him, and I wanted what he had –
    not the jeweled belt, the title, money, fame –
    what could they mean to an eleven-year-old?
    No, what I wanted was the pride and power,
    prowess and speed and grace, and even more,
    fearlessness in the face of bigger men.
    And that most beautiful of names – Beau Jack.

    I think Chavez would win a decision I can see him choosing to box more then normal like he did against Ramirez.

    Chavez`s shorter, more compact punches would see him land much more often than those wide punches Jack usually threw, and over fifteen rounds thats gonna make a big difference. Factor in Julios excellent chin and durability along with his stamina and skillset and Beau`s got some problems. I do think Jack would have done well in the first half of the fight while he is still fresh and full of **** and vinegar with his high workrate and tenacity, but as the rounds pass by and JCCs body punching start taking their toll Jack is gonna slow down and the tide of the fight will likely turn for good in Chavez`s favour. Chavez would win this by a margin of say 9-6 or 8-6-1 on the cards would be my guess in what would be a action packed fight.
