Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Deal Reached

[HeroBando]

Took GGG's easy cookies. GGG wanted to fight this bum Chavez but now Canelo snatched him as a power move and will use the good number further at the negotiation table. Sign the contract Golovkin before Jacobs beats you cause it'll only get lower or completely wiped out and offered to Jacobs.

Are you ******ed? GGG Jacobs is signed, took huge money to get the Mando to sign. Canelo doesn't wanna fight GGG till September at best

[HeroBando]

I think Golovkin's camp not locking in the September fight when initially offered to them, gave Alvarez the space to plan out other fights, with no care or worry for what it'd mean for the Golovkin fight.

If K2 signed the offer when it was offered, no different than what was done in the build to Kovalev-Ward, HBO/Golden Boy/K2 would've aligned all of their efforts in the name of maximising the build to the signed fight; Alvarez would've fought Liam Smith, a soft touch for December, with a solid fight in May, while K2 would've put up the money to lock-in the Billy Joe Saunders fight, with the rest of the time spent clearing up his mandatory defenses in the run-up.

With no obligation to Golovkin, Alvarez is basically in position to treat Golovkin as any other opponent, weigh-in his name against the other options that would be available at that time.

Canelo vs Chavez @168 would've been a true test to Canelo, but I really don't know, Chavez with Heredia might be a very tough dude even at 164.

But the one thing you can't deny is that Chavez Jr. has a chin and is durable as hell, great preparation for a GGG ifght, I'm in!

[batista84]

*** this fight. if you support this crap you are just contributing to the decline of boxing this joker is going to be fighting a walking corpse when he could have fought ggg instead.

Think about it. now that he's going up to 164 do U honestly hink there will be more excuses for not fighting GGG? this fight stillistically is the best prep for GGG, fight will happen in Sep. if not Canelo will be doomed.

[batista84]

he also used a ped against rubio and the ***er got away with it but anyway we all know chavez's idea of training hard is hanging out in his underwear in the living room eating cereal.

Can't disagree with this, hopefully wie got the Chavez that fought LEE years ago.

[batista84]

**** fight lol. What is the point of it? Especially fighting at 164.55422585268553 or caneho weight.

1 Preparing Canelo to fight a stronger and bigger guy
2 Hyping more the fight against GGG
3 Earning a ton of money
4 Maximising total income for both himself and GGG.

Guess that's the point of fighting Chavez Jr.

[BestPR]

...he's really taking this fight now because he's getting paid like 6x more than Chavez...and that's gonna be his downfall...Chavez has been after him for years, so I know Chavez will really train properly for this fight, and on Cinco de Mayo weekend...this is huuuuge!!! War Chavez!!! Canelo's days are numbered...this will be his biggest pay-day..he don't want to fight those young black studs like the Charlos, Jacobs, Andrade, or much less GGG...it's all about the Benjamins!!!

[batista84]

**** fight. Money grab for all parties. Too overweight bums who made their name fighting smaller or old guys fooling the public. There will be absolutely no skill on display that night if you know a little about boxing. Casuals might enjoy event though

If you aren't interested in a Canelo vs GGG fight then u don't know **** about boxing.

[batista84]

For one, those were not on ppv and deemed to be sport saving fights.

Too, Canelo can choose anyone.



This won't bomb, but I doubt it does that many. It's Canelo with a named fighter, that always does well.



Stop it, Wade was ranked 7 by boxing rec at 160. Chevez is coming down to a weight we know he'll be useless at.



My point again, you hate when Canelo get sick criticized. It's true though, he can make any fit and he is choosing a weight drained Chevez.

Zero reason for this fight other than milk fans. Khan, Smith, Chevez.

Honest question bro, what would you say if GGG were to face CHavez Jr @168, you read it good, 168 neither less nor more.

Be honest pls.

[batista84]

Is Chavez Jr still popular?

Guaranteed this will make more than Kovalev vs Ward, hardcore don't bring ppv's casuals do it.
