Chavez basically never dies testing, not sure if he'll agree to it. Canelo always does testing, the only time he didn't was for Smith after Smith refused to go ahead with testing.

Bestr fighters at MW? Who are those I only see **** at MW besides GGG there's no one else, it's a ****ty division, GGG is gonna KO Jacobs easy time if the fight happens.
He didn't ducked Trout or Lara at LMW, wth you talking about? oh I should know you must tbe from the new fans that think Charlo would beat Canelo, lmao Canelo KO's Charlo and I'm not gonna break down the fight for you, already did it on another post. Only serious threat to Canelo in LMW is Lara and Andrade. peace.
Chavez jnr will be an easy victory for Canelo

Kovalev vs Ward was the best fight of 2016.
Bigger and better matchups are different, the moment they sell a ton of tickets, they make great revenue, they sell a lot of PPV's that's how you know what a big fight is.
Primary Expample: Mayweather vs Pacquiao is the biggesgt fight of boxing century, yet it wasn't the best fight because neither of them fought in their prime 3-4 years ago.

Put Charlo in there with Chavez Jr. @165 and let's see who wins that fight, lol.

WTF you talking about, at that time Canelo had not proved **** and he didn't have the ratings Chavez Jr. had back then, fight didn't drew interest back then.
Fight is bigger now, and numbers will demosntrate it, guaranteed.
The only intrigue is Canelo jumping 2 weight classes to make the fight happen. That I can respect because many fighters these days aren't willing to make the sacrifices necessary to make the big fights happen.
And I'm not getting into a numbers debate because everyone with common sense knows that this was the biggest fight in boxing that doesn't involve Floyd Mayweather. I'm just questioning the timing of it. At least let Chavez get a belt at 168 so they can fight for something meaningful. The problem is I doubt he can beat any of the title holders in that division.

My definition of best fight, is the most competitive, enjoyable to watch fight. Something like Gonzalez v Cuadras comes to mind in that aspect. A FOTY candidate is the best fight.
I'm a fight fan, not a finance guy. I don't care too much about 'the numbers". Canelo will always win in that department. He's Mexican and has a huge Mexican following. I just have a hard time saying his fight against Smith was bigger than a fight between two top-five, undefeated champions for three belts, was bigger, just because one guy has more fans

I'm just wondering whether Chavez Jr makes it to May 6th without finding some reason to pull out, and, if he does, what he'll weigh in at (definitely not 165). And I also suppose that Canelo won't be able to rehydrate back below 160 once he's had a taste of a more comfortable weight
If he fights Golovkin in September then I don't really mind this tbh. He could even squeeze in a third fight and at that point who cares if one of them was a sideshow
