Cotto/Chavez Jr. shot down? Hearn says they're back to Froch/Jnr

[Hougigo]

Cotto vs jcc would be stupid anyway. Why wait til jan to make the fight though. Seems pretty far away

Because Bob wants it to be PPV... which again makes no sense because that'd make it 3 PPV's in a row for top Rank...

Hearing the same here, in the UK.

Hearn confirmed they've recommenced negotiations about a possible Chavez Jr fight, and hope to announce something in the next 2-3 weeks

[Showtime..]

Imagine if he won. Timothy Bradley, lineal Middleweight Champion. Lol

I can see the fight @ 156/157. If Bradley wins I'll show up at his front door and give him a big chocolate bar and I would videotape it.

This fight is just dumb, even if Jr. miraculously weighs in at 160, he'll just blow up to 180+ the day of the actual fight. Cotto and his camp surely know this and are trying to make it even more difficult and unhealthy for Jr. Just a silly, freakshow type of fight IMO. Cotto should fight Alvarez or GGG, if not, face Rubio at the very least or relinquish the middlweight crown and move down.
