Kid Gavilan v Julio Caesar Chavez

At 147 pounds Chavez takes a beating

 

Chavez peaked at 135, Kid for sure.

 

I'd say at this weight Stevie, it's the Kid.
Entertaining fight in parts as well perhaps.

 

I concur

 

50/50 Kid is great so is Julio, pick em fight, both had iron chins.

 

Chavez never did anything above 140 that gives me the confidence to send him in with Cuban Hawk.

 

Many a lessor fighter beat Gavilan. If it were a catchweight at 142 I would certainly favor Julio.

 

What in the world kinda question in this? One of the greatest welterweights of all time against a guy who was never effective at welterweight.

 

He held ATG and in his prime Pernell Whitaker to a draw while Julio was past prime and partied out. Quite an accomplishment!

 

You would send Chavez out to those SugarCane fields without a machete. Thats a Bolo punch waiten to happen.
