Comments Thread For: Arum Wants Chavez-Pascal If Not Chavez-Golovkin

[Hougigo]

Has it occurred to anybody else that if GGG moves up and fights Jr and wins, he'll have no reason not to fight Ward?

And if Sergio and Lou all of a sudden are down to fight?

[lefthook2daliva]

Apart from Ward not wanting to fight him. It'll be Froch or Murray for Golovkin after Chavez imo.

You really think Ward thinks he'd get beat by GGG?

If you really believe that I can respect it as your considered opinion, regardless of how ridiculous I find it to be.

Down to fight GGG you mean? Would GGG want to go back to 160?

He might do anything, of course, but hasn't it been bad news (especially for a full grown man) for a fighter to go up and then back down in weight from one fight to the next?

Or maybe I'm not following your meaning?

He's only going up for a money fight, this isn't a permanent move

Well I doubt it would be detrimental to GGG to go to 168 for a fight then go back to 160, its just less weight for him to cut in camp.

Where it becomes an issue is when you bulk up with muscle, like RJJ did to go to HW, then try to go back down to 175. His body most likely had to start shedding muscle, as well as being severely dehydrated to make 175 again even though he didnt even weigh 200 when he fought Ruiz.

chavez - pascal is a good style match-up, i said it before

ya i actually like the idea of this fight

[Ringlife]

Pascal vs Chavez Jr is a solid match up I hope it gets made.

True enough I suppose, although he's 32, isn't he?

Every year that passes, I think the tolerance for such things diminishes.

I thought Golovkin was going to face the winner of Martinez vs Cotto.

at 168, GGG loses to Chavez
that's an action fight, but don't trust GGG at that weight just yet
he still hasn't beaten a really good fighter at 160 yet
Pascal is vulnerable; no defense, sloppy technique, shit stamina
but not sure if Chavez could handle him at LHW, or if he'd go lower again
Chavez can beat either guy, so these are good options for him
always thought he was gonna face Bika though
