Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr-Macklin in Talks - Weight is The Issue

[FistoftheDallasStar]

It could happen. Chavez lands the lucky KO punch. But that's all he has at this point. Macklin can at least use his head and box. If he sticks to the script and doesn't engage in a slug fest. He could still win. Either way it's not going to be as easy as Junior thinks it is.

It's going to be very easy. Macklin is all but done based on the Hieland fight.

Jr. thinks this **** is just a game. Using his talent to fight at world level and get big paydays. I don't think he's trying to be great. He just likes to fight and likes the money.

What's with this guy Chavez Jr? He wants to fight 160lbers because he knows he will rehydrate to 180lbs on fight night.

He won't fight guys his own size like Fonfara again? What a joke.

Macklin is shot to **** I don't want to see this fight. Jr would maul the hell out of him at any weight.

Don't do it Macklin. I doubt Chavez would make 168 at this point, let alone a 164 catchweight

[Achcauhtli]

The ONLY way i'd be ok with this fight is if its at 164 and there is a penalty of 250k for any pound over.

I'd prefer Macklin/Jacobs though

[skinnystev]
