Chavez Jr. in the mid 180's right now

[DoktorSleepless]

I don't even believe mid 180s. An in shape and fit Chavez is 180 pounds. He does not have the face of a guy who's five pounds away from being in fighting shape.

the fight is at 168 which is 17 pounds away from 185. So no one said hes 5 pounds away from being at weight

[Boxing Bob]

does it matter? Jr has poor defense and no jab. With his current skill set, it's hard to imagine him beating even one world class fighter

I said fighting shape, not weigh-in weight. A fully hydrated Chavez enters the ring at 180 pounds and that's the weight where he has little excess fat. The point I'm making is that he does not look anywhere near that magical 180 number so it's hard for me to believe he's only 185.

perhaps it's a muscle and fat thing? not sure, but putting on 20 pounds after weighing 160 the day before would probably look different then taking off 20 pounds after weeks of walking around at 200. either way, has chavez ever missed weight in his pro career? i think he'll be fine reaching the weight limit, he always balloons up in weight after every fight.
vera should just say fuck it, let the kid come in at whatever weight he wants and go on the juice if he feels he needs it. it's not like they'll be testing these fighters, chavez for all we know could be using diuretics for this camp.
