This must've been the back-up, back-up, back-up plan.

Lame sauce.

Well, this was unexpected. We finally get to see Chavez fight someone his own size. I'm picking juiced up Fonfara for this one.

What's the biggest guy Chavez has ever faced? Fonfara is going to smash Julio.

This makes up for Mayweather/Pacquiao & Cotto/Alvarez.

Theres the one fight. Dont think much of either but chavez fighting a LHW sounds about right.

I like this fight more than a Golovkin or Froch fight.

Probably Manfredo. They were both 180lbs at fight time.

now you can all see why Chavez left top rank. He was offered 7 million by Arum to fight GGG and then 10 million his next fight if he won, 5 million if he lost, plus ppv upside and he goes and signs with haymon to fight easier opponents for less money? I hope this guy sends Chavez jr to earlier retirement for being another haymon coward. Even Chavez Sr. was disappointed his son ducked GGG

Yeah, it should be more competitive, but Chavez has been out of the ring so long and on top of that he hasn't had a legit trainer in years... TR could still block this.
