That is a matter of opinion though. I would say Chavez was never quite the same fighter post Rosario in (87). By the time he moved up to 140lbs and beat Mayweather he was clearly past his best, but he was such a special fighter he kept some kind of form all the way though to de la Hoya (fight 2) in 1998!
Let's say we agree with you and that's true, you should be able to pull out more than two rounds in a mega fight prime or no prime (which he was far beyond a shot fighter and with zero losses and great performances in his previous fights) and he could not do that against Pernell
