Imagine if they had a World Heavyweight Champ? That'll great for boxing.

Arreola doesnt count if he wins cuz he represents the U.S.

props to chavez dude is a warrior and will fight anyone, and it is usually exciting. Yeah he may like to party and is a bit lazy, but the normal folk can relate to him... he likes to party and he just likes to fight and aint scared!

Froch's jab would keep him honest but it's interesting to see how well Chavez does on the inside, if he can get there. While I have no doubt Chavez loses to both, I think Froch is the more entertaining and interesting fight.

Good fight for both fighters. Seems like Junior has rededicated himself to the sport. This is by no means an easy fight for the triple G fighter.

Well

Well that is an easy answer, I am Mexican and I can tell you that the majority of Mexicans are under 5,10 Ft.For anyone to make a statement at 168 you have to be taller. Chavez is what 6,1ft. What Mexico does have is smaller boxers I think too many. And all the taller mexicans prefer Soccer or Baseball in the North of Mexico.

He's so big compared to the others around him, that he is not afraid to fight any one. He can absorb a lot of punishment as well. This guy has to be like 185-190lbs on fight night, probably rehydrates 20lbs. At 168 GGG will face basically a cruiserweight. If he wins it would definitely be by decision. Chavez is just too big to be KO'ed by a Middleweight coming up. I can see Froch having an easier time than GGG because he has some physical attributes that are on par with JCC Jr, like height, reach, and I think Froch rehydrates no more than like 10lbs? So even Froch would be outweighed by JCC Jr. Ward weighs 185lbs if I remember correctly.

Froch would be very happy in case he gets his Vegas goodbye fight.
