Comments Thread For: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr: I'm Ready For Golovkin or Froch

[The Gambler1981]

I think he loses both those fights because those guys are both better boxers with more options but I think he can make both pretty interesting given Froch is pretty far down the road on his career and someone can only dig deep so many times and Golovkin well I don't doubt his firepower but what happens when someone can take it and dish out some (lesser) firepower in return.

I think those are as good options as he is going to get

Why doesn't a great boxing nation like mexico have any good fighters at the higher weights?

Mexicans are very short, I'm pretty sure mexican Americans are much bigger though as most are mixed.

I'm 6'0 and I'm practically a giant on my side of town which is like 99% Hispanic, although I live in the US. I've been to Mexico multiple times and the average height is like 5'6 for a guy, women average like 5'0.

I can't wait for these fights, Chavez is going to get the piss beat out of him.

They don't grow that big as a race and I have lots of Mexican friends. That's why over many years they dominated lower weight case the last 2 decades.

Hell never be ready for those 2

Well GGG has so called unfinished business at 160 against the Daniel Geales / Darren Barkers / Andy Lee's / Mathew Macklins /Martin Murrays of the world ??? I think Chavez can get Froch, Froch is too brave for his own good and remember Chavez Jr got a little Chavez Sr in him when he's feeling himself !!

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.

I thought it could have something to do with the big mexicans preferring others sports but you would think that with boxing being such a popular sport in mexico at least some of the big guys would take it up. Didn't know that most mexicans where that short.

never realised there where such a big height difference between countries (excluding asia), im 5'7 and here in sweden thats below the average height. Most of my freinds are about 6'0.

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!

Any professional that fights for a living at the highest level is not scared. When you step in the ring with another grown man and their job is to beat you by any means and possibly knock you out anything can happen.

To call any professional fighter especially at the highest level "scared" is an insult. I hear you are saying that Chavez is not scared which he isn't neither is any fighter to fight for a living.

It is mainly the people behind the scenes that hold things up for their own agenda.

Not sure he could beat either one, but would love to see him try. Dig his attitude. And would prefer the Froch fight at this point.
