He came very close to losing to Castillo, in fact most people have him doing so. And JCC was better in every respect to Castillo, so if Mayweather is having that much trouble(even when winning an uneventful rematch by 8-4 UD) with his sparring partner, what does that tell you how he'd deal with a prime Chavez?
JCC didn't cut often until late in his career. And he very arguably lost the first Castillo fight. And once a-****ing-gain, Chavez is easily better than Castillo at everything.
JCC cut very badly and quite often ... I think that if it came down to it ... PBF would bust him up and win by stoppage. Add to that .... FLoyd is just too damn fast for him and Chavez wasn't a defensive minded fighter ... Floyd is and would use his defense to frustrate Chavez throughout the fight ... You can't hit something you can't see ...
So did Castillo have much better eyesight than Chavez? Again, Chavez didn't cut badly often until late in his career. I have already explained why Floyd wouldn't be able to position himself to land any power combos on Chavez in the other thread I posted. Chavez was better at cutting off the ring than Castillo as well, so speed wouldn't be needed to keep up with him, as he wouldn't be following. And again, you show no analytical skills, just your usual blind rantings.
What is cutting off the ring going to do against a fighter who's comfortable in every part of the ring ... a guy who can fight very well going backwards, doesn't need to be set or in rhythm to throw a punch, who's very accurate, can counter from the corner - off the ropes - and in the middle of the ring ...
Why are you using Castillo for your arguement when he lost 2wice to PBF? ... you're acting as if Castillo set the blue print on how to beat PBF ... PBF knocked him down in the first fight and didn't get credit for it ... he beat him badly on the inside ... he beat him to the punch ...
What's it going to do? It's going to force a fighter who's normally comfortable fighting off the ropes back into them, as he clearly isn't that difficult to pin. What that will do for Chavez is give him the advantage of using his superior inside offensive skills and power to brutalize Floyd's body. And his defense is quite underrated on the inside as well. Floyd would not win these exchanges. Floyd fights better moving laterally with pot-shots, not at moving backward aside from the Hatton fight with a much wider, cruder fighter. But I'm done arguing with you, I don't even know why I started, you're the most ignorant poster on this board.
I've seen just as much as you, almost all of his fights. I simply know how to analyze fighters, which is where we differ.
Apparently you don't know how ... you sound like one of those commentators ... you spend more time listening to them instead of coming up with his own opinion.
Hey, at least I understand that a fighter of Edwin Valero's school yard technical skills wouldn't last the distance with any top level fighter.
