    Who do you think wins this clash? Can Khan survive Chavez varied combinations and pressure? Or could Khans speed trouble him?

    Or will I just see Camacho vs Chavez again?

    Khan wins after 5 due to forfeit. After the cops arrest Chavez for murder.

    No.... Hector made it through nearly 90 fights without ever being stopped.. Kahn is getting knocked out.

    If Khan is focused and sharp he could outbox Chavez in the early going, using his amazing speed and good reach. But Chavez cuts of the ring so good and sooner or later he will corner Khan and when he does Khan will go down. Taylor won many rounds, but he took a beating in the process, I doubt Khan would be able to take it.

    Khan might beat the 2000 version of Chavez.

    Khan does well up until probably around the 5th round where Chavez breaks him down and finishes him off.

    Chavez by mid rounds ko. Chavez didn't have one punch power, especially as he moved up in weight, so it would take a little while.

    Chavez is so accurate and Khan is no great shakes defensively. He isn't exactly durable either. I think Chavez takes over pretty quick, might even be as fast as the second or third round. After that it's up to Khan's heart how long he stays in it.

    How could it be another Chavez-Camacho? Camacho had a chin....

    It wouldn't take long for JCC take over given his ring-cutting skills and Khan's flawed footwork.

    Chavez slipped shots well too so he'd close the distance pretty quickly.

    Khan is not Camacho, Camacho took shots better, but I think Khan would make a better effort out of it, in the sense that he's go down fighting and get stopped rather than fight mainly to survive, like Camacho often did

    Chavez destroys that bum inside of 5.

    Piles make fights and Khan would use his great boxing skills, his sublime footwork, ramrod jab & pin-point accurate and super varied combinations to outbox the one dimensional, plodding Chavez.

    Don't forget Khan's iron chin and Mensa-like ring IQ.

    Chavez Sr. had underrated timing. Look at the Camacho fight.

    Chavez by KO in under 5 rounds.

    Exactly. And Chavez Senior is significantly better in every way to Danny Garcia who did in it 4 or 5.
