Comments Thread For: Canelo Not Looking Past Chavez Jr., Says Weight Risk is Worth It

[techliam]

He's referring to the weight risk for Chavez right?

Let's not forget, it's impossible for Chavez to win on points

Canelo should've faced Chavez at 168 then if he wants to call this a "risk". .hell even making 168 will be tough for Chavez. at 164 we're talking about a walking corpse here. Canelo gets to beef up eating ribs and french fries. .expect a highlight reel KO.

People criticising the catchweight are the same morons that defended Golovkin wanting a 164 catchweight for Ward. Keep exposing yourselves as the flip flopping nuthuggers you are.

So Canelo agrees to move up because of the "significance of the fight". So basically the GGG fight to him has no significance. He's feels "too small" to move up 6lbs to fight GGG and wants him to come down to 155lbs. Yet for Chavez he can move up 10.5 lbs and fight 164.5lbs. This ginger is so spoiled and has become such a diva. I know it won't happen but I hope Jr lays off the weed and whoops Canelo's a$$.

He already said he'll fight Golovkin at 160, he sent a $15 million offer for a fight with Golovkin at 160. The weight isn't an issue, he gave in to Golovkins demands on weight. ******.

it is so blatantly clear how afraid this ginger punk is of GGG. so chavez jr fight easily made ABOVE 160!!!! but when it comes to GGG he's TOO small for 160???????? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha what a joke. canelo is the biggest coward and a catchweight king of the century.

You realize Lil G has on offer on the table right now for 15 mil @ 160 for September to fight Canelo... If he refuses to take the fight we'll see who's ducking who

give me a break. canelo never wants to step in with ggg. a skeleton chavez jr is an easy fight for him to pick. stop supporting this ginger. he only embarrasses his fans.

u realize canelo dumped his wbc belt to avoid ggg???? u realize canelo kept saying on and on about how he isnt a middleweight despite the fact he barely was fighting at jr middleweight???? etc. etc. u realize all these things dont u?????????

please this ginger is scared of GGG. if not then fight would have been made LONG ago. canelo waiting for ggg to get older and war torn first. what a joke.

[285Kid]

He won't be fighting GGG in September after this fight.

He'll claim it was a gruesome preparation or some bs, and that he'll think about it over his vacations lol.

If Chavez/Canelo fight end up even or close you see the rematch in the fall , that will stop the fight with GGG still May 2018??

On Friday, it was officially announced by Golden Boy Promotions that on May 6th that Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. And a victory for Alvarez could eventually lead to a showdown with unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (who faces Daniel Jacobs on March 18th). This match-up is contingent on both winning their upcoming bouts.

it is worth the risk because Chavez is not a top opponent and will likely be compromised by the weight

the weight is not so important, when the opponent is not too much of a threat..... just like how Golovkin needed a catchweight for Ward but was willing to fight anyone else at 168

Canelo is likely ready for middleweight - or close - so fighting a weight compromised Chavez a few pounds north aint gonna matter

Jacobs/Saunders at 160 would be much more difficult for Canelo who will have every advantage over Chavez except rehydration weight, which will make no difference to the outcome
