WBC silver middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. made a recent appearance on Mexican television and restated a challenge that was reported on BoxingScene.com a few weeks ago. Chavez said he would like a showdown with fellow Mexican Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and he wants to get payback against the man who beat his father twice, Oscar De La Hoya. Chavez wanted everyone to know that Alvarez needs him and not the other way around.

"I do not need Canelo Alvarez, he is the one who needs me. My proposal is still there. If De La Hoya makes a return, and after I beat Canelo, I would fight him," Chavez said.

Chavez is going to possible face WBA 154-pound champion Miguel Cotto on December 4 in Las Vegas.
