Comments Thread For: Chavez: I Can Still Make 160-Pounds, I'll Fight Anyone!

This leads me to believe, JR still wants to rely on his size and weight advantage. He's not confident in his "skills" enough to face fighters just as big as him.

He has skills?!?!

[violaandme]

witharum behind him he can make 147lbs pay off the scale

Not strong enough for a super-middle?

JCCJ needs to stay at 160 to remain dangerous. I think Vera's fight showed that he might not have power to hurt big boys. Vera got punched a lot, and still wasn't out or down. Junior is also is a cement-headed fella, seemingly impossible to knock down. And if he's not KO'd, we know, he gets the decision. SOG/GGG I would worry about seeing another horrible decision and for your unbeaten records, if you sign to fight this dude. Forget about the head, go to the liver, if you do.

Unfortunately his future opponents will know that when Chavez says 160, he actually means 171. Fighters won't fall for that crap. And sooner or later that drying out to make a weight and re-hydrating to 185 will take it's toll on him. I wouldn't put much stock in Julio's future right now.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr had his hands full with Brian Vera Saturday night but he also had a battle before he stepped in the ring with the weight scale. The fight with Vera was originally contracted at a catch weight of 162 pounds and then upped a second time to the super middleweight limit of 168. That still wasn’t enough as the fight was ultimately adjusted a third time with the final weight being 173 pounds.

Leading up to the fight with Vera, Chavez made it clear he could still make 160 pounds and would fight there again should the right meaningful fight present itself. After seeing him have trouble to even meet the 168 pound limit, it’s become obvious the days of Chavez fighting at 160 pounds are over, right?

He can make 160?? I hope he understands he has to actually make the weight limit.

Throwing 10 punches a round is entertaining?

Uhhhh..."yes"..because he "connected the harder" and therefore more "meaningful" punches! (Utter sarcasm).....just ask Tio Bob!

I'm sure he can make 160 since anyone can drop weight if they have to (see anorexics) but it's clear he won't be very healthy.

[Bushidō]

was he high when he made that statement?
