Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Chavez Jr. in Talks For May 6 - at 165-Pounds

[Ce1ska]

It will be funny as f*** if Canelo wins and then makes everyone at 160 fight him at 165!

Nah, he'll probably go back to 155.

this fight does more PPVs than canelo/ggg..chavez jr has that iconic name and these guys have a genuine rivalry..ggg fans calling chavez a joke need to stop because chavez is the "dream fight" for ggg.

He may have an iconic name but most Mexican/Hispanic people I known hate JCC. They see him as some rich kid riding daddy's coattails.

There was a bit of a rivalry a few years ago but Canelo probably couldn't care less about JCC now.

Trying to take away Abel's dream opponent away from Golovkin and make some big money in the process?

ggg about to fight jacobs this doesnt affect a potential ggg canelo fight well of course unless canelo losses which i doubt he will

I really don't understand it....the guy disappears for a little while and people forget what a complete and utterly useless piece of crap Jr is...and now they want to promote a big money fight with Canelo? And the sad part is they will and all kinds of morons will buy into it.

Well lets be a little more kind to the Mexicans - a LOT of Mexicans would love to see this.

But I'd watch too ! What's the downside ? Either (a) Junior puts on a good show in which case it will be a good fight or (b) Canelo starches him

Who wouldn't enjoy (b) ? (even got a feeling Sr. wouldn't mind Jr getting put in his place).

Only real downside is Jr. shows up for the money and quits on his stool with a toe injury after 3 rounds or something, but I don't think Mexico allows fighters to quit while at least 3 limbs are still attached, so unlikely.

You'd pay money to watch this?

And yes of course Jr will take it for the money...he has never been able to compete with a top tier fighter. Jr's activity was better last Sat but he fought a guy who was small and a 'B' fighter which is his specialty....smaller 'B' fighters. By the end of the fight he was fighting with his left down low...Canelo will KO him if he does that.

The most criticized boxers in Mexico history...

**** them both, they are a embarrassment to the Mexican boxing legacy

Agreed. I can't stand either of those clowns. They give Mexican warriors a bad name. Sanchez is turning over in his grave! Chava, Chava, Chava!!!

this wont be a competitive fight at all chavez jr will be weight drained badly.chavez jr quit on his stool when he was beat up by fonfara so it could very well happen again.

Canelo's taking GGG's cookies.

[Robbie Barrett]

Canelo aint moving to 160 to fight GGG. "Im not middleweight yet" clear duck.

Lil G don't want none the offer's still there.
