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

[Pretty_Hitman]

What a clown Bob Arum really is

[RRICAN]

Mexico is just mad Manny is just straight-up destroying Mexican fighters

LMAO!!!!

[Albert Maximo]

First Floyd,Cotto and now Jr. this idiot talking **** if Chavez
wants to fight with everyone and decide whether Jr is a failure

[fightingfigs]

LMAO!!!!

CHavez is done after this

[ELPacman]

Only thing I could think of if this did infact take place is Arum securing his next big star. Seeing as how Manny has 2 more fights or so left, he knows one of his biggest cash cows will be leaving. He needs to get a new star or cash cow of his equivalence to pick up when Manny leaves. Thus, he gets Manny in against the bigger and probably stronger Chavez Jr. whose very young and beating someone like Manny will be huge for Mexico and a follow in of his fathers footsteps. It's just sad that he'd sacrifice Manny in for the $$$ knowing Manny is almost through.

dude, i don't even like Manny but Pac would destroy JCC Jr

As a wise man once said...." Weight doesn't win fights........skills do"

lol, the sad thing is roach might go for a fight w/ chavez jr... the financial reward far outweighs the risk

[Dave Rado]

We all know Hatton can't win. I think he has a chance but it's not going to happen.

LOL @ the contradiction!

Except that Chavez Jnr is a journeyman. So that doesn't make sense.

I believe Roach is less cynical than that - it's not like the DLH fight where DLH was still considered to be an elite fighter. Everyone knows Chavez Jnr will never be an elite fighter.
