Chaves knows he won't win thats why his team don't want the fight. He can keep fighting bums in Argentina and keep that 0.

But Soto? They can't do better than that. I know 147 isn't that deep right now but I'd rather see rematches with Cano and Senchenko.

Paulie vs Soto is a pretty solid match up. I love watching Paulie fight but you know as soon as he fights a legit fighter he will lose.

I mean, as much as I like Malignaggi, he's one of the weakest champions right now, easily beatable...talk about being ******, Chaves could have quickly put himself in the spotlight.

WTF? Why Soto?
Shoot, call Abregu up

[ddangerous]

Team Chaves really dropped the ball.

I dont understand how GBP is trying to secure Soto when there will be a Paulie-Chaves purse bid scheduled for march 11th.

Just because they couldnt come up with a personal agreement with Chaves doesnt mean he isnt their mando anymore
