Also curious as to where you get this 180+ lb figure for Chavez.

Of course Martinez is still going to whoop that ass. I'm just saying TR only took this fight because of the size advantage.

Originally posted by 2shameless View PostWhen has Chavez ever come into the ring at 185? He was probably about 175 against Lee and even that level of draining was obvious in his performance for the first few rounds.

Originally posted by Light_Speed View PostHe came in at 181 against Rubio. He's having more and more trouble making weight because he's outgrown the division, it will probably be his last middleweight fight so it's not unreasonable to assume he'll be somewhere between 180 and 185 against Sergio. Even if he comes in lighter than that, there will still be a significant size advantage, are you trying to deny it?
And if Chavez indeed weight drains himself over 25lb to make weight (as you claim he will, though he has never done previously,) then he'll have zero chance to beat Sergio. Santos' terrible performance against Yuri Foreman comes to mind.Last edited by 2shameless; 07-31-2012, 11:27 AM.
