Fighters who beat or drew with ATGs vs that respective ATG at their prime.

Kostya Tzyu-Chavez

Tzyu wiped out a shot Chavez.

If prime for prime, Chavez by mid to late rounds stoppage.

 

True

 

I've always thought about this matchup and found it a real interesting one. I can see DLH's style and natural size/dimensions being too much for Chavez, but also I can see Chavez's intelligent pressure and overall superiority as a fighter being too much for DLH.

I'll lean towards JCC.

I'd pick the Chavez at 135 over DLH there, especially the Chavez who wiped out Rosario, and the Chavez of his early years at 140 to win a really tough bout. DLH's chances are better at 140 than 135

 

I agree. Tszyu would have some success, mostly with his powerful and sneaky quick right hand, but Chavez had a terrific chin and solid defense. His intelligent pressure wouldn't allow Tszyu to set the tempo and range that Tszyu prefers, and eventually it would wear him down and Chavez stops him late or wins a clear UD

 

A obscure one prime Pryor would kill Bobby Joe Young.....
