CHAVEZ JR. is the heavybag of MANNY!PLEASE.

Who believes CHAVEZ JR. will fight COTTO?NO ONE!!!So the fact he's not going to Phillippines is only ****;he act like a mexican idol so he doen't want to go to th HOME OF THE MEXICUTIONER and help to train MANNY for another mexican murdered;but the fact is that CHAVEZ JR. can't help MANNY as sparring,so it's way better he isn't there!!!

i knew that! chavez chicken jr. is bum his is undefeated cuz he havent fight nobody good as cotto. pobre loser hahaha

[jabSTRAIGHTh00k]

I know its a wasted opportunity for him to give up sparring with an atg. But i do understand him refusing if it were because he wouldn't want to betry his countrymen (who are supporting margarito) by helping out the pacman.

Not suprised. No one in their right mind would want to go to the Philippines.

you are just a dumb ignorant!

Fight is not off.

Roach is not Top Rank's matchmaker. He's only the trainer.

Bob Arum is the matchmaker.

what happen to bruce trampler?

[starsjuicebar]

left handed sparring is not the best work for jr.in Cotto fight but he still would have time for good right handed sparring after pac training camp, bad move to not go to Manila. This leaves a chance for a better matchup for Cottto.

Hopefully the fight still happens, or bring Berto.

LOL @ these Chavez Jr alts. TOOOO funny.

I think even Roach stated that he'd prefer Chavez Jr to wait 1-2 fights before a Cotto fight, but said whatever.

manny is nothing like cotto. why shld chavez fly to baguio when he will not get benefited?

Would be more beneficial to work with a fighter and team who gave Cotto his most brutal loss, also considering Cotto would by far be Jr's biggest opponent of his career. But the long distance is understandable. But then again, Pacquiao trains over there for every fight and then fights here
