Always an intriguing match, this. I can see convincing cases for both. Who do you like?

manlove for JCC aside I can only see Oscar being too big, too fresh, and too hardhitting for JCC at 140. at 135 with a younger JCC and a less experienced/more drained Oscar, I could make a better case, but i think Oscar's jab and left hook and quickness would be too much for JCC. late TKO on damage or clear UD

In the past, I have sided with Chavez.

Nowadays, I'm not so sure. It's arguable for certain. I'd of course cheer De La Hoya, one of my favourite boxers ever.

Tough fight, I lean to Oscar but Chavez would be all up on him late.

Oscar takes the first 4 or 5 rds, but Julio pulls it out late.
