Comments Thread For: Sulaiman: Chavez vs Alvarez is Likely, But For 2014

[LeadUppercut]

The President of the World Boxing Council, Jose Sulaiman, is very confident that we are going to see a clash between rising Mexican stars Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. After they win world title and spend a few years making defenses, Sulaiman expects the two of them to fight. Alvarez faces Matthew Hatton on Saturday for the vacant WBC junior middleweight title and Chavez goes up against Sebastian Zbik on June 4 for the WBC middleweight title.

Who knew this is what Mexican boxing had left.

Sorry 'bout dat, boss.

Sorry 'bout dat, boss.

I think we can both agree that you should be doing better.

It will not happen unless either guy changes promoters. Don't worry Mexican brothers, you're future is looking bright with the Magdaleno bros, Benavidez, Mikey Garcia, Juan C Burgos, Alfredo Angulo and others. Canelo and Chavez are the worst symbols of Mexican boxing, they're two media creations w/o half the talent their status implies and fighting sub par opponents all the time doesn't cut it out. At least knowledgeable Mexican boxing fans recognize what's going on.

There it is, folks. From the mouth of the devil himself: they are going to be making defences. He's determined to make these guys champs by hook or crook I tell you.

So theyre gonna be Champions for 3 years? I highly doubt that unless they get put in with softies, but knowing the WBC they be fighting guys out of the top 10 in their defences.

And how has Alvarez got to this title shot? Fighting shot and mismatched foes. We can forget about Angulo, Cintron, Rhodes, Margarito, Cotto fights. WBC will make sure he remains champion by all means possible to cash in him.

By that time no one will give a **** about that fight...
