Floyd in a whitaker type masterclass or chavez relentlessly moving forward,administering brutal damage to floyds arms,the former imo,would Floyd even get in the ring with the monstrous Mexican is more the point???

Mayweather would win by un dec

Mayweather too slick for the Mexican legend.

Whitaker frustrated and countered Chavez all night, despite the atrocious decision. Mayweather would have easily done the same.

Over 15 or 12?

Mayweather is no Whitaker.

I think it would be closer than that match.

at Lightweight, with the speed he carried there, Chavez wins IMO.

you can't watch the Castillo fights without thinking 'here's a poor man's Chavez, giving Mayweather hell; the real version would beat him'.

See Pernell Whittaker vs JCC Sr and there's your answer right there. That is exactly what would have happened but Floyd wouldn't be robbed of a decision because he wn't fight away from the MGM where he controls refs, judges and everything else for that matter.

This. The Chavez who beat Rosario was a monster.

Chavez was past it when he fought Pernell he lost 3 months later to Frankie Randell and was fighting out of his weight class, if this was at lightweight I'd pick Chavez, light welter would be a pick em fight

Mayweather has the style to beat Chavez.

It depends on the ring size and the number of rounds. Rosario was backed up and broken up but he looked happy enough on the ropes early on; he'd bombed Bramble from against the ropes. I imagine Floyd would move off as soon as his back touched. It wouldn't be an easy bout for either of them though with how Chavez dealt with Camacho and Taylor I think he'd get the better of the exchanges.

This

Castillo really should have got the decision in the first fight against Mayweather. If Chavez would fight that well (which almost for sure would have), he would not have been ripped off by the judges like Castillo was.

Those fights are the only thing preventing me from confidently predicting a Floyd victory. People forget the rematch was razor thin as well, and the only think Castillo has over Chavez is height; JCC a far superior fighter all around.

Close fight either way. Forced to pick I still say Floyd.

JC Chavez was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, Mexican fighters of all time.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. might be the greatest fighter, bar none, of all time. Certainly he's in the top 10.

Mayweather out thinks, out speeds and out lands the somewhat predictable Chavez consistently in this matchup, on the way to a convincing decision.

He doesn't need any mythical Las Vegas advantage. Mayweather wins because he's just better.
