I would like to know at jr lightweight, 130lbs, floyds best weight. I actually have it 1)Arguello 2)Floyd 3)JCChavez At 135lbs and 140, its ALL JCChavez's fight. He kills floyd(especially at 135)
I would struggle to give Chavez more then 3 rounds. He got dominated. Which shows what happens when fighters of his ilk meet a master boxer.
Both guys have legitimate avenues to success here. I think we'd be in for a classic boxer v. pressuring puncher fight. I lean towards Chavez, because I don't think Mayweather would like it to the body, and the man who won this fight would be the man who stayed in his comfort zone, but I could see a clear 8-4 or 7-5 victory for Floyd ala Castillo II. Good fantasy fight!
I'd favor prime Chavez over Mayweather. intelligent and consistant pressure, very precise punching, solid defensive skills in his own right. Floyd was backed into the ropes a bit too often by pressure fighters for me to believe he would be able to keep the fight in the center of the ring against someone like 135lbs Chavez.
