Say around 135 lbs 87 or 88, Would the result between these two been the same in your opinion? Would chavez have given him problems if the fight was 5 or 6 years before? Because according to sources... The whitaker team waited for chavez to age before they fought him. Also that Chavez had wanted to fight whitaker for a while. Can anybody confirm this?
Which sources? I don't think it would be much different. Both would have been better. It might actually have been clearer since Whitaker was quite a bit more mobile at 135 and his punches had more impact.
