    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?

    Chavez would have beaten him convincingly.

    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.
