ESPN analyst points out Chávez will not defeat Floyd Mayweather and sparked controversy on Twitter
ESPN analyst David Faitelson and exile Julio César Chávez organized a friendly “shoot” 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, I would not have beaten Mars or Jupiter, but here, on Earth, at 140 kilograms, I would have put a chin … the two together. 135 pounds, I’ll leave it there for your homework, “wrote the Mexican boxing legend.
To continue the exchange of views, Faitelson put on the table Mike Tyon’s opinion on this issue and agreed that “Julio César Chávez was a much more complete boxer than Mayweather“However, the complexity of his style made him special.”
About a comparison with Saúl Álvarez“Faitelson said it would have been” interesting “to see both fighters with £ 147 on the rope.”
“It was neither Chávez’s best weight nor the best in “Canelo”, but I think Chávez would have won by a broad unanimous decision. “
“Julio César Chávez has always been very careful in his statements about this; I understand him. His boxing greatness, as a human being, I forbid his nobility and humility, but he would have won it for a simple reason: he was and will always be a boxer “, he wrote on social networks.
