Floyd Mayweather vs Julio Ceasar Chavez @140

Again, zero context applied.

Chavez was at the end of the road against Oscar. And the Oscar who he fought was far greater than the faded version who Floyd struggled with.

Floyd sparring an old Pea is of no relevance.

None of this is at all relevant.

None of this is relevant when looking at a prime for prime match up at 140.

You’ve also still not written any posts where you’ve looked at how they’d have matched up on the night stylistically.

 

And Floyd beat Canelo and Pac while at the end of the road.

 

This is false. Cotto was a smarter fighter with Pedro Diaz and didn’t show the chin and stamina issues at 154 leading into the Floyd fight. The fight was at Cotto’s comfort weight, not Floyd’s.

Canelo had like 40+ wins and was an undefeated, unified champ. Good enough for me.

 

Yes.

He was a genius.

It’s still not relevant to the thread though.

 

Cotto was still faded and past his peak.

Again, Canelo had hardly fought anybody. And look at how he gained his belt.

Yes, he’d had 40 fights. But against who?

He was never in his prime.

 

This is about all one can say in reply to yet another context-agnostic attempt at comparative equivalence.

Yep - far from being a comparison, the respective bouts that Oscar had with Chavez and Mayweather are not only years apart but also poles apart.
