Nice to see a thread started by a fellow Scot. I agree with all highlighted except I think Morales would beat Hamed and Saddler would beat Sanchez.
SADDLER v SANCHEZ - 126 WHITAKER v CHAVEZ - 135 MORALES v HAMED - 126 FOREMAN v MARCIANO SANCHEZ v CHAVEZ - 130 DURAN v WHITAKER - 135 PACQUIAO v CHAVEZ - 130
:good Identical to mine except I couldnt decide between Sanchez & Saddler due to having not seen enough of Sandy. I think me & you are 2 of the very few that thinks prime Chavez would give prime Whitaker a 50/50 fight or win or lose by a point either way. Dont forget that due to styles, number of fights fought & ages (JC - 31 & Pea - 29) I think Pernell was nearer his prime when they did fight not to mention the fight being at 147, it wasnt a coincidence that JCs career went down hill from then on even losing to Randall 2 or 3 fights later. WHITAKER SD12 CHAVEZ...OR... CHAVEZ MD15 WHITAKER. Morales has the chin to take what Naz has & is too good technically to lose to him. This aint the EM you saw losing to Pac were talking of here, forget that imposter, this was vintage El Terrible, nothing more needs to be said here except.... MORALES UD12 HAMED (8-4 at least) Biggest mismatch IMO but still great viewing while it lasted... just think of Foreman Frazier. FOREMAN TKO 4 MARCIANO We know chavez was great at 130 & even if Sanchez was just as comfortable 4 pounds north at 130 Id still think Chavez natural size would earn him a hard fought pts win in a come from behind close fight. CHAVEZ UD15/SD12 SANCHEZ This would settle A LOT of arguements, 2 of my all time fav`s... if either man were to be at their best & lose at 135 then it would only be to each other, dont want to go into fight detail as it would go on forever but..... DURAN MD12/UD15 WHITAKER The 2nd biggest mismatch after GF v RM, maybe even a bigger mismatch, Im not sure. Put it this way, JC walks thru every punch Pacman throws & slowly claws back rds after losing 1 or 2 earlier to dominate Pac with body punching & relentless pressure, its not in Pac`s nature to back up & when both forces meet head on Chavez breaks him down slowly & painfully, if Morales past his best can back up a Pac just before his prime then a prime Chavez ****s a prime Pac up, knocking him down 2 or 3 times en route to a stoppage win IMO, great fight while it lasts Id guess.... CHAVEZ TKO 9 PACQUIAO :thumbsup
