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

Not sure the power goes with GGG to SMW, but the boxing ability does. Jr probably gets dropped with a body shot at some point, but then I haveta wonder is it gonna be a problem for GGG to basically be fighting a CW?

Abraham's power carried.

damn...i wanted to see golovkin challenge the martinez vs cotto winner next...not move up to 168

Yeah, me too.

Instant candidate for Fight Of The Year! And I got Chavez Jr. in this one. Say what you want to about him, but he's got one of the better chins in boxing.

yup definitely, this is a guaranteed fight of the year.

Two points:

1. Golovkin won't take the fight. He claims that he wants to clean out the 160-pound division first. Also, this fight is too much risk, not enough reward. He will continue to feast on stiffs and has beens while he continues to call out Martinez and Quillin.

2. I would bet that Arum's offer to Chavez is contingent upon Chavez resigning with Top Rank for two more years. Contract renewal time is the only time Arum seems to want to make quality fights.

First point is incorrect. GGG and his team have said recently that they would only move up right now for Chavez Jr. It's no secret that Abel Sanchez has wanted that fight for GGG for years. They don't care what Jr. weighs.

The second point is pure speculation.

Abraham's power carried.



Yeah, me too.

He'll move back down after Jr.

Murray fight is already in the cards for November is Sergio doesn't want it.

What do you think Arum just pulls names out of the air to present them to Jr? Trust me he has already got the go ahead from Golovkin's side. It is now just sitting in Jr's hands waiting for the go ahead.

Make it happen!!

Time for GGG to get broken down into submission.

Good boy gonna brutalize Chavez,,, this will be entertaining but it will be a massacre

[just the facts]

OMG sign me up. Anyone who thinks GGG takes this easily is insane. Jr is about that brawl life. Hes no bytch.

This a WAR.

Nobody is questioning Jrs grit, it's his skill level that's lacking. No jab, slow plodding footwork, and leaky defense are Jrs problems. A dedicated body attack, solid chin, and good power are enough to overcome these faults vs the Veras, Lees, and Rubios of the boxing world. Against fighters with real skills (Martinez, GGG, Ward) its isn't. Jrs gonna get butchered in this one

I'd prefer Golovkin didn't take this fight. He's a 160lb fighter and that's where he should box.

A loss to Chavez at a weight class above could be very damaging for his career, physically and financially.

He wouldn't lose, not even a chance, but I agree, he should stay at 160lb. If Chavez wants him, he can stop being lazy and make the weight.
