    Floyd Mayweather, Jr
    Record: 43-0-0 (26) / Peak: 43-0-0 (26)

    Diego Corrales
    Jose Luis Castillo (x2)
    Oscar De La Hoya
    Ricky Hatton
    Genaro Hernandez
    Miguel Cotto
    Shane Mosley

    Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr
    Record: 107-6-2 (86) / Peak: 87-0-0 (72)

    Meldrick Taylor (x2)
    Edwin Rosario
    Jose Luis Ramirez
    Hector Camacho
    Rocky Lockridge
    Roger Mayweather (x2)
    Mario Martinez

    Going over these lists there are no two wins of Mayweather's that can top Chavez's wins of Edwin Rosario and Meldrick Taylor. In terms of quility of oppestion. However Mayweather's over all quility of oppistion is better.

    Mayweather would win a match up at 130, 135 and 140. Chavez really wasn't relvent at 147.

    Yeah, I'm sure Nonito(e) Smoak will come break down their top 20 wins.. I just listed the most relevant (to me). There are plenty of others for both of them.

    Wait another 30 years to get it all sorted out...

    Too much bias from those who lived through and watched both, or just one of the two.

    Plus, one of them isn't retired yet while the other is.

    It is certainly an example of quality vs. quantity to some degree.

    IMO Chavez beats the **** out of Floyd 130-140
    @147 & above Julio was not effective.

    Bootleg Chavez gave "Prime" Floyd all he can handle twice.

    Hell no! Castillo who is a poor poor poor version of JCC gave Mayweather hell and many (including myself) thought JLC beat him in their first fight, Just imagine what he would do to Mayweather.

    I think he's saying Chavez has the best two wins (MT & Rosario) between them, 'Rats. I said the same thing on first page, but people don't really know Chapo or how he was supposed to take JCC's head off going into that fight.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol:
    McGirt arguably beats a "prime" Cotto @147. <~ McGirt very underrated as a fighter.
    (The version May fought would get smoked against even bum shoulder McGirt)

    Come on kid.

    Chavez. Going over their records, there is no real comparison.

    Of course you can, and you'd sound like a complete ****** as well.
