Julio Cesar Chavez vs Juan Manuel Marquez at 130lbs & 135lbs

Marquez loses at both weights.

 

Chavez UD both weights.

 

Chavez wins at both maybe stops Marquez at lightweight.

 

Chavez, I consider Marquez prime at 126. He was older and talented enough to win titles at 130+, but he was just doing it to chase after Pacquiao. His opposition at those weights weren't nearly as good as anyone Chavez beat at those weights. He also struggled with Barrera who I think is a great, but not at Chavez's level.

 

Chavez wins st both weights.

 

Chavez, close decisions. Marquez is smart, tough and wouldn’t make it easy but Chavez couldn’t really be hurt.

 

I dont think theyre be anything close about it at 135.

Marquez gets a Rosario beating.

 

Marquez isn't busy enough to win enough rounds. You don't want to let a rugged yet well rounded guy like Chavez taking control of the pace and funding his rhythm while you look for one big punch. Marquez very likely isn't stopping a prime Chavez so Im not sure how he wins this one outside of a 1/20 punchers chance. His style just doesn't do well here unless Chavez is old or out of shape.

 

JCC UD @ 130
JCC TKO late @ 135

 

Chavez would win by late round knockout.

 

I disagree with most of you... Chavez vs Marquez was not an easy fight for Chavez.. Marquez was a great counter puncher. Chavez would lose staying on the outside and would get hit hard coming in.. Very good fight and hard to call.

 

Have you ever seen Chavez vs Lockridge?

 

No path for victory for Jmm imo

 

Two of my favorites, I think. I'm familiar with Marquez back to his 5th or 6th fight, I've seen him in the gym, sparring. I've seen Chavez spar a couple times.
Chavez is going to beat him. It won't be easy because Marquez comes to fight, is a very smart guy with a lot of skill. But Chavez has just a little bit more in every category. Hard fight, start to finish, but a clear one for Chavez.
