Canelo-Chavez Rivalry Builds, But Focus Solely on Cintron

By Jake Donovan - In terms of relevance, a showdown between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. would be to Mexico what a Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr matchup would be to the rest of the boxing world – the biggest possible fight to be made. Something else the two budding rivalries have in common for the moment – a constant battle of ‘whose is bigger’ could forever delay it from ever becoming a reality. The question is inevitable whenever either fighter steps into the ring. Chavez Jr. fielded as many questions about Alvarez as he did about his actual fight with Peter Manfredo, and that was in the buildup leading up to last weekend’s HBO headliner in Houston. As Alvarez heads into his own HBO main event this weekend against Kermit Cintron (Saturday, 10:30PM ET/PT, live from Mexico City), the popular Mexican is forced to respond to as many questions about his countryman as he is about a fight that serves as arguably his toughest test to date. The closest either has come to suggesting that an actual fight will ever take place came over the weekend when random weights were thrown around. Alvarez – through co-promoter Oscar de la Hoya – insisted that the buildup could eventually reach a collision if Chavez Jr were able to squeeze down to 156 lb.

As he continues to mature in and out of the ring, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. becomes more confident holding court in any given boxing setting. Once sheltered from the media and rarely available to answer questions, the 25-year old second generation boxer now stands still (or sits) and willingly sticks around until the massive media following he enjoys finally runs out of questions.
