Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr.: After Fonfara I Will Go Down To 168-Pounds

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is ready for a triumphant ring return, following what will be a 13-month hiatus by the time April 18 rolls around for his showdown with Andrez Fonfara.

The bout—which takes place at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. and marks Chavez Jr’s debut on SHOWTIME—will be contested at a catchweight of 172 lb.

Don’t mistake the extra poundage as a sign of things come; it merely reflects a transition period for the second-generation boxer and befitting of the best available opportunity for his first fight under new ownership.

“Right now, my body is meant for 168 lbs., I’m not ready for 175. But in 1-2 years I will be ready for 175.”

Kinda how Canelo's body isn't meant for 160. And Danny Garcia isn't meant for 147. These mfers want the benefit of fighting smaller men without the discipline of making the weight.

Right now, his body is ready for cruiserweight, but he'll continue to shed water weight so he can beat up smaller guys.

Saw Bob Arum say in an interview "We've resolved that"

Not sure what happened exactly.

You forgot the elephant in the room... Miguel cotto is not meant for the middleweight division yet he is going to possibly holds on to the crown and defends it against welterweight because he doesn't feel like shredding the weight. Meanwhile the true king of the division ggg has been calling his punk ass out and hes running scared because he knows he is not a real middlweight, but maybe is trying to convince himself he is because he has a napoleon complex. Either way he should deficate or get off the pot
