Comments Thread For: Arum: Chavez Jr. Presented With Golovkin Deal For 7/12

[ddangerous]

I will buy this fight.

Not crazy about GGG moving up to 168 without attempting to become the lineal MW champ first though.

oh please bob make a nice undercard this time... i'll buy for sure if they have something like mikey-uchiyama

[just the facts]

ALL OF THEM. You can ask a lot of questions like, which fight at 168 has led you to believe GGG could beat JR at that weight? 0. I just know that JR has a lot more skills and legitimate power at 168 that people constantly overlook. GGG is a good fighter, I'm a fan, but If you take a look at his last couple fights, even against Stevenson. GGG has been getting hit.. A LOT, and If Chavez is able to land those same punches I'm not so sure GGG will have the same reaction he's been having the last couple fights. People said Jr would lose to lee and Rubio, he was 1 punch away from KO'ing Martinez.

power I'll give you, but skills? GTFOH, no jab, very leaky defense, very poor foot work. Who said Jr would lose to Lee or Rubio? Jr can hammer these second raters, but fighters with even a little movement and coordination will always prevail over a slow footed plodder. He certainly hurt Martinez in the 12th, but if GGG lands even half the punches Martinez did Jrs gonna get stopped.

Chavez Jr. displays a low punching volume. Jr. was lethargic... Do you think he would change for this fight?

[JFalu]

check out adama weigh in

He usually comes in at 158 and change I think

Great ***ing fight! who ever wins the douche bags on here will still find ways to discredit both fighters. This is a true fight, what is a better fight out there at 168? I cant fuc*ing wait!

Sergio only taking big money fights right now
JCC fight gives boost to big money

Sergio got one HBO fight left on deal and HBO wants that fight

True, Golovkin is just not that big and I hate to see him having to move up for his first PPV fight, when there are still a couple of important fights left for him at 160. (Even though, they seem impossible to make ATM)

It's risky, but if he beats JCC Jr. and with no 12th round scare (or similar), HBO is going to be pushing for him vs Sergio if Maravilla beats Cotto. Lotta ifs here...

[LouIE G]

JCC will get stopped, he takes too many clean shots and even a diamond chin will eventually crack under sustained power shots

Same thing should be said about ggg.

As he was fighting at middleweights, Arthur Abraham was undefeated -- with 30 wins (24 KOs)... When he moved up, things changed a bit...
