Chavez in the course of his career had meet a more variety of top quality fighters including fellow Latins, American, Afro-American, Asian, African, European including Russian with different styles and mostly he beat them especially in his best prime. In this respect, he was more experienced than Manny Pacquiao and would therefore not be stranger to fighter of Pacquiao's type and caliber.
Chavez was at his absolute best at 130 lbs., 135 lbs. and in his initial years at 140 lbs. where he made most of his mark as a pound for pound great beating the likes of Mario Martinez, Ruben Castillo, Roger Mayweather, Juan LaPorte, Rocky Lockridge, Edwin Rosario, Jose Luis Ramirez, Rodolfo Aguilar and Rafael Limon, Hector Camacho, Greg Haugen, Sammy Fuentes, Meldrick Taylor, Kyung Duk Ahn, Lonnie Smith, John Duplessis, Frankie Randall ( first fight ) and David Kamau.
I think at that weight range at his prime best, he would be able to outlast Manny Pacquiao in a virtual classic shoot out, winning by late round KO/TKO or by bloody close decision.
Chavez by late stoppage. They would brawl, and Chavez does NOT lose brawls. At 130 or 135 this would be a crazy fight.
Chavez.
i agree chavez wins by ko
jcc by late tko, regardless of weight class.
I think Julio cesar chavez would of knockd out pacquiao. chavez was and is and will always be the best pound 4 pound champion viva mexico cabrones
