Grade the Canelo - Chavez Jr Match Up

[PK3434]

Like the Khan fight, this is also going to be controversial.

My opinion is that Canelo is an A level fighter and Chavez jr isn't. Also Chavez is going to have to kill himself to make that weird catchweight (has a .5 pound contracted weight even been made in a significant fight before?). The first few rounds could be fun and I get that its a big revenue fight but I'm not high on it.

What do you grade it?

It's underwhelming

10/10, Canelo will go down.

**** this fight!! Especially since I thought Canelo wasn't ready for 160 yet vs GGG. He's ready for Jr at 165.

Canelo is moving up 9.5lbs. The guy gets ridculed whatever he does. When Golovkins team mentioned Chavez as a possible opponent for 2017 a couple of months back i didn't see Golovtards ridiculing him. DOUBLE STANDARDS.

I grade this fight a C.this will be a one sided beat down chavez jr just isn't any good and he'll be weak from being drained he's going to be a punching bag. anybody who thinks this will be a good competitive fight is truly a delusional idiot.

The thread is about how you grade this matchup. Not everything in the world revolves around Golovkin.

I'll stream it. Funny fight.

The majority of posters that will post in this thread will be salty Golovtards ridiculing it because of Canelo. It's relevant to point out they're hypocrites and have double standards.

I think it's actually a pretty good fight if Chavez comes in at his best. That's 11 lbs that Canelo is moving up, that's a big jump especially against a naturally much bigger guy who has a tremendous chin and stamina, so Canelo is gonna have to be very smart and look to systematically break down Chavez while winning as many rounds as possible. If he loads up on every shot to try to hurt Chavez he's gonna gas out late and Chavez might get him then, it's a very good fight for Canelo moving forward with his career because it's gonna prepare him for fighting bigger guys and making that style transition.

I would've prefered GGG vs Canelo but I think it's gonna be an even more even matchup if Canelo fought at a higher weight once or even twice against someone bigger and more durable before he fights GGG.
