In a interview on TV AZTECA, legendary mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez SR, told the reporter that today Fernando Beltran, Bob Arum, and Miguel Cotto should have done a deal to fight Chavez Jr vs Cotto on december on Nevada. This is because Jr have a condition on the eye that the NYAC wont let him fight.
Let's see if Chavez Sr word comes rite, tye fight will be on a min 156 max 160.
cotto sure has been chasing ambulances looking for opponents lately
first hint of an eye injury and miguel he's there faster than a call to 911
Lmfao!!!!!!
Not a fan of this fight at all, to be honest guys. I think Chavez is too damn big to cut down to 160. He's gonna be a zombie. I'd rather see Nelo vs Cotto, GGG vs Cotto, or Cotto vs Quillin
this is surprising news, if Chavez can make 160 and stay healthy then I think he can pressure Cotto and eventually stop him. But if he comes in like a walking skeleton, he will get stopped and so will any talk of him regaining status as a PPV star.
This could seriously mess up chances of Chavez v Froch next year.
BS fight that doesnt make any type of sense. JCCJr is a CW, he wont make 160 period. Second Cotto's fight night weight is 162 pounds, Jr will be 190 at the very least
If Jr wins, he beat up a smaller fighter, If Cotto wins he beat up a zombie who was a bum to begin with.
And the money they'll make they can make it fighting anybody else.
So this is why they keep putting off the Canelo fight. It didn't make sense to me but now it's clear: Arum wants Cotto for one of his in house fighters.
I really hope this is not true because it would be a garbage fight. The only thing intriguing about it would be how Cotto would deal with Jr's size. But that won't really be of any concern since Jr will be a zombie at 160 with no power, speed, or stamina.
There's just no way Jr can get down to 160 and be healthy. He's going to be dehydrated to sickness, and I don't care if he says otherwise because it's not true.
Their walking around weights are probably 40 pounds apart. No way in hell Chavez Jr. can make 160, on the level or not. Sorry, this fight doesn't make sense.
