Both fighters like coming foward and thowing power punches; Chavez to the body, Macklin to the Body aswell. Neither has a good defence Both have Good Stamina and Workrate - Macklin has the Edge Neither Have very good boxing skills although Chavez might edge Macklin here as a better pressure fighter, macklin has more variety Both have Similiar Speed (Both Hand and Foot) - Macklin Slight edge Size/Fight night Weight advantage to Chavez - big margin Height: 5′ 10″ Macklin, 6'0 Chavez Reach: 72″ Macklin, 73'' Chavez Chavez has the better chin Neither are big Punchers but Chavez holds a slight advantage Chavez weighs in atleast 10 pounds more than Macklin Chavez has the better corner- Freddie Roach Macklin by Points 115-113, could go either way Edit : now that both have fought Sergio Martinez, How about Macklin vs Chavez jr for a Rematch vs Sergio Martinez
Macklin. Even if you agree with the scoring in the Sturm fight, that loss was more impressive than any of Chavez' wins. It would be a pretty good fight actually but I think Macklin out-works him.

I'd like to see it. It wouldn't happen, though. I think Macklin would have a good shot if he had the cardio and ability to take the punishment.
