Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr: I Won't Sacrifice Myself To Help Canelo Win

Chavez Jr is a joke. I guess the sequel really isn't ever as good as the original.

Chavez jr wins by ko

What planet you living in bro? You will take the guy with the most padded record ever in boxing history?

All this barking that Jr. is doing is bcuz he realizes he has met the end of the road. It is either get embarrassed by Martinez or try to fight a smaller guy. What a b!tch.

No, you wouldn't want to give Canelo an advantage when you can weigh in at 160 and at fight night weigh as much as a cruiser weight at 180

If Canelo fights Chavez Canelo would be giving up 15 pounds in the fight, the same would apply for Sergio Martinez who weighs 165 on fight night.

Chavez is a very big middle weight. His size is his best weapon. Manfredo, Zbik, and eveyone he's faced at 160 looked like they were 2-3 weight classes below him.

CHavez has had an advantage in weight in every single fight he's been involved in.

Kind of hypocritical Mr. Chavez.

Both of these guys need to prove they are real champions at their current weight. Chavez should fight Martinez and Canelo should fight Kirkland. If they are both standing then they should do down the line.

100% agree with this.

Martinez was stripped because HBO wouldn't aprrove of a fight with Zbik, yet Chavez Jr. fought him on HBO for the belt? WTF?

Kirkland won a WBC eliminator to fight for Canelo's belt, yet it seems like Golden Boy isn't interested in having him fight Canleo? You have got to love boxing lol.

Thats Right spoiled Jr.!!! U should Not be sacrificing a damm thing to fight señor Canelo! Instead GROW BALLS! & fight mandatory Rubio! Which be agreat tune up to face sr. Martinez!! That way u dont sacrifice a DAMMM THING! come on Jr. Its time to fight or vacate!! Or get strip!

Funny how Jr wants the smaller man (Canelo) to move up in weight to fight at a catchweight, but he won't fight a middleweight his own size (Martinez) at the middleweight limit where he don't have to worry about a catchweight.

LMAO, I know. Dude is crying about that fight when the fight he needs to take is with Martinez. Chavez is in the big leagues now, under the bright lights, on the big screen........with the big boys- time to step up son.

If Chavez jr fought Martinez, he would get worked over, ko style before the fight reached 7 rounds. I think that Canelo would beat Chavez jr. as well both at 156 and 160 but Martinez would pick him to pieces with counter shots and jabs to the point where the fight might just get stopped.......at least he'll be able to hit Canelo a few times along the way.

true and on that same point, would Canelo fight Martinez at 156? Doubt it....neither should be defended in terms of Martinez conversations. BUT that's not what the article is about. 156 is ridiculous, if they (GB, Team Canelo) really want to make the fight happen (clearly they don't, but hypothetically...) moving UP in weight is much easier than to move down, 158, in my opinion, is a fair concession. But that's only if you choose to look at the 'negotiations,' that aside, Canelo has every right to deny and so does Jr as they are a weight class apart.

You won't meet Canello half ways Jr? Who's scared now?

[Mr. Philadel]

WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has refused to entertain Saul "Canleo" Alvarez's request for a catch-weight of 156-pounds. Alvarez's promoter, Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya, will only make the fight if Chavez agrees to a catch-weight of 156.

[RoidRage]

Chavez Jr is a big , he probably has trouble making middleweight
