    I rate Chandler slightly higher than most at #9 BW all time, most have him just outside of the top 10. I also rate him even higher H2H. Fenech would be an absolute nightmare for Chandler and can't think of a worse style for him to go against.

    I would still cheer for Chandler and likely even pick him if this could actually happen. I have an easier time picking Chandler against Pintor (and YES, even Olivares...blasphame). I believe Jeff would win the early rounds against Pintor as the range and timing gets established and control the long range fighting...I likewise believe he would control the mid range fighting...If Pinto has an edge against Chandler it would be in the infighting...And since Chandler was a pretty good infighter himself, Pintor's edge would be slight if it actually exists at all.

    fenech on the other hand is going to bring intense pressure right out of the gate, and leave Chandler no comfort spots during the fight requiring him to fight a full 3 minutes with fenech totooed to his chest all night. Fenech could also wear him down with tie ups and grappling during those long periods Chandler would spend with the ropes pressing against his back. Perhaps the best argument for Chandler is that Fenech may have still been a little green to deal with Chandler at his stage....If there is a stoppage, it would be Fenech stopping Chandler. I just remember how Gabby Canizales worked Jeff all night long, and think if that frustrated him imagine what Fenech would do.

    Fenech had more experience prior to turning pro', Chandler seemed to come out of nowhere, but whereas he put in some solid performances Fenech was a special fighter, I'd say he's a better boxer and when he's in position to let his hands go he's a sight to behold.

    He'd take Chandler IMO, good fight though.

    I don't think Chandler has the firepower and more importantly the strength to take Fenech. He had some mighty struggles with Murata who was a less physically intimidating swarming type of Fenech.

    It would be a good competitive fight, but Fenech is too much of a physical beast to lose this one.

    Hmm, I voted Chandler, but the points made here are good.....I think Fenech was stronger and even a bit more skilled than Chandler on the inside.....As far as can remember Chandler was a good boxer as well though, with a pretty decent jab....interesting fight.

    I think Fenech blended offence and defence better than Chandler. Better punch picker, more accurate as well.

    Gaby Canizales vs Fenech would be another really good fight

    Canizales during his brief peak was formidable offensively.

    I reckon Khaokor would give Jeff a better go than that Jap' fella he bet for the IBF, where the **** did he come from? Gave a decent effort in their first fight.

    Fenech every day, way too everything, recently saw tapes of Fenech v Esparagoza and Zarate, Chandler does not beat those guys.

    I reckon Fenech's pressure and controlled aggression would simply be too much for Chandler's skills. Close UD
