I know he was physically war-torn right around the Oscar fights. Oscar though at those weight was a beast, then as he moved up his power and speed were diminished. I think at 135lbs Oscar beats Chavez, and 142lbs in their primes.
damn zouk, lets not get carried away here, you think a prime de la hoya would beat a prime chavez, chavez would put a whoopin on the media creation that was de la hoya, oscar was a very good fighter, but not a great one, CHAVEZ was great. their are only a very small number of lightweights that I would pick to beat a prime chavez and de la hoya is not one of them, I do understand why you say this, the size and speed advantage and oscars jab and power at that weight, but to me he would be in over his head against one of the greatest pressure fighters of all time. at his best chavez was damn near unbeatable.
