    At 135 he beat a very good Edwin Rosario. He also beat Ramirez.

    Any gifts he may have gotten, and that's debatable, were at 130 lbs (Laporte) and 140 lbs (Taylor, the second Randall Fight); or at 147 lbs. (Whitaker).

    Chavez was very impressive at 135 lbs

    That said, I still think Mayweather would win.

    I'd pick Floyd at 130 (very close to a pick em fight) and Chavez at 135.

    At either weight, PBF outboxes Chavez.

    Weird logic. Whitaker and Taylor have different styles than PBF.
    On the other hand, Chavez boxes a lot like Castillo. Chavez is just better.

    Styles make fights. Chavez wins a UD against PBF.

    I like Chavez to either win narrow or lose a controversial decision at 130 and 135 bc I think floyd was more vulnerable at those weights despite being prime in terms of speed and power.

    Above lw I start to favor Mayweather. Think it starts looking like sweet pea vs Chavez instead of Castillo vs Mayweather if that makes sense.

    Either way its a great match. They both have the style and skills to beat the other.

    Floyd at Jr. Lw and Chavez at Lw.

    Ironically, Floyd entered the ring HEAVIER at Jr. Lightweight than Chavez entered the ring at Lightweight.
