Comments Thread For: Canelo's Manager: Chavez Still Possible, Only at 160

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to manager/co-trainer Edison Reynoso, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-1-1, 32KOs) could still face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-1-1, 32KOs) - but only if the fight takes place at the middleweight limit of 160-pounds.

Canelo-Chavez is still the biggest fight in Mexican boxing. At one point the two fighters were a division apart but the match became more distant when Chavez moved up to 168-pounds late last year. Canelo's last two fights have taken place at 155-pounds.

How on earth could Chavez Jr. get down to 160?

My thoughts exactly. However, apparently, he's been training hard and getting into shape. This fight would be massive and do huge numbers on cinco de mayo.

"A possible confrontation between Chavez and Alvarez has been mentioned for quite some time and it would only be possible at 160-pounds, where there is no advantage for anyone," said Reynoso.

Wonder if he said that with a straight face.

Canelo typically rehydrates almost at light heavy so wtf? Some BS with the canelo camp...

Maaaan i can already imagine the hype. Too bad Chavez is stuck with that rotten house TR smh

I can see this at 165 but no less than that. Chavez can't make 160.
