    How do you see this fight going?

    I have to admit, the Nelson that fought at 130 is a bit aged but his experience, toughness and power during that time was superb.

    Chavez is one of the fiercest monsters at 130 and you can leave everything at that.

    How do you see it going?

    I figure Chavez maybe ahead in every aspect but I'd say it'll be very tactical and entertaining fight.

    I go with Chavez on this, although at 130 itself Nelson has the best chance since he peaked at 130 and Julio I think peaked at 135 and actually seemed to pick up power as he moved up to 135. Chavez UD Nelson.

    I see Chavez taking a close but clear UD in this one, a 7-5 or an 8-4 kind of fight.

    My all time favorite "hypothetical" fight.

    I'd pick Nelson, but am the first to admit it's a pure guess. They are two of my all time favorites and I would have loved to have seen it.

    Chavez UD. He would get stronger as the fight went on...clear decision.

    I don't know who would win, but by God this would be a great fight. I wouldn't be too quick to give the edge to Chavez...Nelson was world class and can match Chavez in several key areas.
