 Could a Mayweather Jr. Vs. Chavez Jr. Bout be as big, if not, bigger than a bout with Pacquiao??? |

Entertaining the recent comment made by Floyd Sr. Claiming that not only would Floyd jr. "whoop" Chavez jr. But he would "knock him out", makes me wonder... Hmm... If Floyd can spar with guys as big as heavyweights & Pacquiao can move up 2-3 weight classes high for competition, how far fetch is it to believe that these 2 (mayweather - chavez jr) can get in the ring at 160lbs. & resurrect what was once a scrap between Chavez Sr. & Roger Mayweather. So many ways you can spin this. In the perfect world lets say another year or 2, both fighters remain undefeated, for Floyd's final fight he wants to get a crack at fighting for the middleweight title adding to his collection and legacy to avenge his uncles 2 defeats against Chavez sr.. Chavez jr. (with a fight with Andre Ward on the horizon) wants to solidify his place atop the P4P list by dethroning Mayweather etc.
Though this post may need time before becoming a legit conversation, if things fall into place the way it should, how big of a scale would it compare to the on going dream fight that is Mayweather vs Pacquiao in terms of Hype? This post has been edited by Gambit808: Aug 2 2012, 09:17 PM |

Fast forward a year or 2 later (if all is well) he'll be sitting atot the mythical P4P list. Shiiiiiiit if he beats Martinez in great fashion in sept. we probably won't have to wait that long for his name to be put there. I see it as big with help from a Mexican Holliday |

If Floyd moves up to 160 and knocks a 180+ Chavez Jr. out, then he should be checked for PEDs...being the fact that he can barely crack 154. Will it do bigger numbers than "the megafight"? We gotta see where how good Chavez does in his next few fights.
If you think about it, Floyd and Oscar did over 2M buys, and Oscar had averaged over 1M+ buys before that fight and Floyd didn't even crack 400k or 500k...so anything can happen. Promotion is the key...though I dont see this one ever happening. |

Floyd Sr is delusional....his tender fisted son is not KOing Chavez Sr's Cruiser Weight son!!!! Anywho, I dont give Floyd another 2 years in the ring first of all, and I dont see Chavez being undefeated without the most scrumptious matchmaking ever outside of Manny's last 3 years. As far as the event, it would be big for sure. But it wont eclipse Manny/Floyd by a long shot. There is no demand for this fight and with Floyd barely being able to make 150, I dont see him coming close to 160 without rocks in his pocket. Could he beat Chavez?? As long as he has his legs, yes. But this would be 180 lbs vs 150 lbs....

May isn't even a true Jr middleweight and chavez SHOULD be fighting at least at super middle + the fact that TR promotes chavez Cmon now This post has been edited by checkleft: Jul 5 2012, 02:04 AM |

At this point and time the only way I can legitimately make a case for this fight being somewhat big is because of Floyd's popularity, many people know JLC Jr but have no true affections for him like they did for his father at this point and time but all of this could change for Jr should he take on and beat SM handily (by KO/TKO or a one-sided UD) and then elects to take Floyd.
Right now Jr just doesn't have the pedigree nor the flair that people talk about to make him a huge enough draw to put him on par with a guy like Pac. |
