ESPN Analyst noted that Chavez would not defeat Floyd Mayweather and sparked controversy on Twitter
ESPN analyst David Faitelson and expulsive Julio César Chávez starred in a friendly ‘shot’ on social media after the journalist stated that “neither here nor on Mars would have beaten Floyd Mayweather Jr.“
“My dear David, you are very right, neither Mars nor Jupiter would have won, but here on Earth at 140 pounds I would have put a chin … on both of them. If Castillo, who was my sparring, would go to win at £ 135, here I leave it to you to do, ”wrote the Mexican boxing legend.
To continue the exchange of views, Faitelson placed on the table the opinion of Mike Tzio on the subject and noted to agree that “Julio César Chávez was a much more complete boxer than Mayweather“But the complexity of his style made him special.”
About one comparison with Saül Álvarez, Faitelson opined that “it would have been interesting” to see both fighters with 147 pounds on the ropes. “
“It was not the best weight of Chávez or the best of the ‘Canelo’“But I think Chávez would have won by a wide unanimous decision.”
“Julio César Chávez has always been very careful in his statements on this; I understand. His greatness as a boxer, as a human being, his nobility and humility are forbidden to him, but he would have won for a simple reason. : He was and will always be a better boxer, “he wrote on social media.
