Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. Advises Canelo To Demand '158' For Golovkin Bout

[SteveM]

I got no problem with 158. It levels the playing field. Better to see the fight than not see it.

[Graz]

Does what Chaves Jr say really have any relevance at all?

[- Ram Raid -]

"Vamos chico. Vacate!" . . . . "Demand a catch weight amigo!"

Said the fishnet clad late rounds back peddling butt-plug back scuttler and the 6pm breakfast cereal eating bloated blunt smoker.

Nobody's had advisors like these since the Emperor got himself some new clothes.

Fighters in the same division demanding catchweights, smh. Thank you Mayweather for yet more positive influence in the sport of boxing.

you mean like Oscar wbo mw champ and bhop mw champ did but let still blame Floyd anyway

how can possibly blame Mayweather for this? Canelo has the most CW fights in history

158 is fair for the both of them!

These dudes don't know **** about boxing bro. 75% of the posters don't even know that b hop and oscar fought a Middleweight unification fight at a catchweight.

Is he saying that people were giving Lemieux a chance to win? Id like to see a comparison of the betting lines on the two fights. I can only imagine that the odds makers viewed both bouts as equally non competitive. Most people I spoke to gave Lemieux little to no chance of winning.

Edit: the numbers do not support Mr Lotierzo's assumption. A quick glance at the betting lines suggest that Alvarez-Khan was viewed as more competitive than Golovkin-Lemieux.

Golovkin: -1400
Lemieux: +1100

Alvarez: -500
Khan: +350

(both figures taken from Bloody Left Elbow)

I think he was trying to point out that Lemieux had a much higher chance of winning (than Khan vs. Canelo), regardless of what Vegas said, and he had a style that was fight-friendly, and GGG still only got 150K PPVs. Basically, the fans didn't show up. On the flip side, the fans (600K) still bought Canelo vs. Khan. He's calling for the fans to "stop complaining and do something," meaning boycott Canelo until he fights GGG. It's a good article if you read it in it's entirety.

That last paragraph is nonsense. Chavez agreed to fight GGG, but Golovkin realised he was going to be knocked out and ducked him.

Mushahadeen lives! <3
