The war of words continue between two of Mexico's unbeaten rising stars, junior middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (39-0, 29KOs) and welterweight Saul Alvarez (28-0, 21KOs). Alvarez recently challenged Chavez Jr. to a fight on Mexican television. He continues to bait Chavez by calling him a hyped up fighter who is living off the name of his famous father.
Chavez Jr. has responded to Alvarez's lasest challenge.
"It's not whether or not I would fight him. I fight whoever my promoters tell me to fight. He says that he wants to fight me but then contradicts himself. If he wants to get a fight with me, he knows how to make it. There are contracts, there are promoters. Things are not made by talking on television," Chavez Jr told The Record.
Chavez sees no reason for the fight at this time.
"I think he's a good fighter and a good prospect but not enough to be a good opponent. There is more to this than just talking, it's about facts and nobody has approached me for this fight.
Alvarez returns on September 15 in Mexico and faces Carlos Leonardo Herrera on the undercard to Edgar Sosa's defense against Omar Soto. Chavez returns on September 12 in Mexico on the Latin Fury 11 card against Jason LeHoullier.
