Note: Im not necessarily asking who'd win this since Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. was on the deep, wrong side of the curve by then, but how big would this fight had been.
Had Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. beaten Willie Wise in October, 1999 after Felix Trinidad won over Oscar De La Hoya..how big do you all think a Trinidad-Chavez Sr. bout would have been at the time? A world title fight between a Puerto Rican superstar world champion and a (faded) Mexican warrior who is considered among the top 5 in history by most?
At the very least, Puerto Ricans and (many nostalgic) Mexican fans would have shelled out quite an amount of money to see it I reckon....I mean, they came in passionately to the Tszyu fight (I was there but I couldnt get a ticket so I awaited outside to at least get autographs..the crowd was live!!) and that was not as big as Tito-Chavez Sr. would have been, IMO
So, early 2000, Chavez Sr-Tito for the world Welterweight title, how big would it have been IYO?
