i hope chavez wins this fight...it must be tough for him since he never had an amateur career ...at least he won his title to an actual top level fighter in a very close fight...not like canelo that fights old 147 pounders

its hearns be serious your not confident at all if you think he has a chance to lose to hearns lol i know chavez is a bum but he will beat hearns thats why he wants to fight him badly

Being a WBC champ is pretty sweet when you're a Chavez.

You get to fight Sebastian Zbik to become champ and circumvent Sergio Martinez who was the real champion at the time.

You get to fight Ronald Hearns as a title defense, and then Peter Manfredo Jr.

Boxing is some sport.

I guess I was right on time with my signature picture change lol

I personally think Jr. is a fraud and being protective but I can see why some people would think it's a legit fight for him. Hearns did beat Andrade who I consider a decent fighter.

hes fighting a guy his own size unlike alvarez

Hearns never beat Andrade. You're thinking of Aaron Pryor Jr.
