Pacquiao vs. Chavez Jr. in 2009, Says Bob Arum

[PlasticFlamingo]

That won't happen, Pacquiao-Chavez Jr. would be even more one-sided than De la Hoya-Pacquiao. Junior would get expossed badly.

Pls make it happen

[MANGLER]

We'll see if Jr has stepped up by yrs end, and if he has if he's still got his 0 or is shattered and in recovery.

[mmaphilippines]

Chavez should better fight Duddy

[J.B.moneY.]

people think pac can fight in any weight class....haha after his win of the corpse de la hoya....watch after ricky beats him people will be saying he should have stayed at lightweight

[fdotorres]

You know what we can make Money for Pac why not?? Maybe after Pac beats hatton, PBF & Cotto, then Pac can move up one more weight Class at 154. But Jr needs to get his belt real quick or l=else Pac will not waste time on him!

LOL that's the biggest "maybe" in the history of boxing

In a shocker, Top Rank’s Bob Arum, following Julio Cesar Chavez’s ten round decision over Luciano Cuello in Tinjuana, Mexico - said Chavez might fight Manny Pacquiao at the end of the year in a major event with a Mexico vs. Philippines theme. Chavez is a junior middleweight and Pacquiao has only fought once above 135-pounds, when he stopped Oscar De La Hoya last December at welterweight. Pacquiao seems too small for Chavez, even though the Mexican prospect has plenty of flaws. [details]

Arum is trying to turn boxing into a freak show rather than a sport. There's no sporting reason for those two to face each other. Sick.

after Chavez jr. gets the beatdown from the PACMAN, an announcement will be made that he officially joins a BOYBAND ^_^ lolz

I know what you are saying, but JCC Jr. is just sooooooooo slow that Manny will eat him alive with his speed, then there's also the fact that he lacks real KO power. Besides, this will certainly take place in a catchweight, the 147 pounds.

Bob Arum is getting desperate

He knows that Miguel Cotto is going to leave him soon, so he is trying to hype this terrible idea which would be Pacquiao Vs Garbagz Jr. Manny is a Jr Welter weight at best & Chavez Jr is a Jr Middle? I guess Arum knows after Miguel splits on him, the only other star fighter he has is Manny and now he has to build a knew star & being that Chavez is Mexican he figured he could sell that fight because of Manny's wins over the Mexican
fighters.

Arum I think is getting too old to do promoting. If he were smart he would get over his self & stop alienating other promoters and just get that $. Plenty of Golden Boy fighters that he can match up with Manny to make a big fight happen or anyone else but all he is trying to do is keep everything under his umbrella. Maybe if he paid more attention to Clottey he would have 3 stars in his roster.
