The ESPN analyst pointed out that Chávez wouldn’t beat Floyd Mayweather and sparked controversy on Twitter
ESPN analyst David Faitelson and former Julio Cesar Chávez made a friendly ‘recording’ on social media after the journalist stated that “neither here nor on Mars would Floyd Mayweather Jr. have beaten“
“My dear David, you are absolutely right, neither on Mars nor on Jupiter I would have defeated him, but here on Earth at 140 pounds I would have put a chin … on the two together. 135 pounds, I leave it there for your homework, ”the Mexican boxing legend wrote.
To continue the exchange of views, Faitelson sat on the table Mike Tsyon’s opinion about the problem and agreed that “Julio César Chávez was a much more complete boxer than Mayweather“However,” the complexity of its style made it special. “
About one compared to Saúl Álvarez, Faitelson said it “would have been interesting” to see both fighters at 147 pounds on the string. “
“It was neither the best weight of Chávez nor the best of ‘Canelo’, but I think Chávez would have won with a broad unanimous decision. “
Julio César Chávez has always been very careful in his statements about it; I understand. His greatness as a boxer, as a human being, his nobility and humility forbid it, but he would have hit him for one simple reason: he was and will always be a better boxer, ‘he wrote on social media.
