First of all, Floyd Mayweather Sr never fought Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. Instead it was Mayweather Jr's Uncle and trainer Roger Mayweather.

Secondly, this fight wouldnt even touch Mayweather vs Pacquiao unless we see some spectacular things from Julio Jr in these next year or so, it would be a hard fight for Mayweather due to the weight and size difference in Chavez, but it would also be a hard fight for Chavez because of Mayweathers skill level. Good fight in my eyes but nothing close to Mayweather vs Pacquiao.

FIRST OF ALL, thanx for the correction

Secondly, being that boxing has a very strong Mexican fan base along with Mayweather and Chavez's name behind it, how can't it?

I'm sure we all have no doubts that Floyd is the better fighter when compared to Chavez Jr. And yes I agree that this potential dream fight will be a major convo (though unrealistic) if Chavez manages to beat Sergio. But weight classes exist for a reason! Floyd looks to be much more comfortable at 147 lbs. Yes he is all about his "Money" but he is also all about his 42-0 record. this fight would probably need a catch weight and a rehydration clause just to ensure that Chavez ONLY comes in 30 pounds heavier than Floyd. We're all welcome to dream but I can't imagine Floyd fighting this kid at all.

If it did happen I could imagine (keyword) the PPV #'s being extraordinarily high. It's more than enough History between the families for 24/7 to eat this up!

I wont lie, at the moment, I'm becoming more and more of a Chavez fan. Do I deserve to be stoned to death? Possibly. Sine his recent fight, and the fact that I have tickets to his fight against Martinez, I think Im getting sucked in. Am I alone on this one???

i've been a fan since they bashed him for barely winning the fight against the bald white dude. (can't remember his name) he fought that dude and had the flu or something...but he still eeked out a win imo. the crowd was throwing bottles at him and his pops. very disrespectful. i thought they were holding him to a very high standard. he didn't have an amateur career. take a closer look at his pops career and u'll see that jr is basically on the same plan. pops didn't fight a recognizable name until his 45th fight or something like that. jr is a fighter. it's in his blood. he's developed over the years and i think he's winning more ppl over with his style. last year about this time everyone was shitting on him for getting favorable treatment and getting a shot at the title that was stripped from martinez. it's not the kids fault. i give him credit for performing under major pressure and trying to live up to his pops legacy. i'm also picking him to beat martinez.
