Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. is Already Down To 180, Training Hard For Canelo

[Raimondo]

Funny thing is 180 lbs may be Jr's best comfortable weight. LOL. He will be a walking corpse at 164. He will do the weigh in with a mask of oxygen on his face and IV solution bags.

Wow I can understand why jr doing this he has the money to come overweight he just wants to kick gingers ass

[soul_survivor]

Whenever I hear such and such is alread yat such and such weight...although that weight is way off the fighting weight, then Ik now there are issues. A fighters training camp should not be designed losing weight, it should be designed around conditions and working on tactics. This aint fat camp.

180, that's cool. Last time we checked the fight was at 164. Holler at me when you're at 164 kimosabe. Then you have my attention.

better fed growing up I assume

look for bigger family members and you have an answer.
In some places in the world it is called "genes".

Canelo walks into the ring at 180 so maybe that should be the contracted weight.

[JJRod]

Who cares. He doesn't have the skills to compete with Nelo.

Dude is on that "Mexican meat".

I'll be shocked if they don't bust Chavez Jr with any pre-fight PED testing or post fight testing that gets done. I have lil doubt he was on something for that last fight to get as low as he got & he gots to lose a couple more lbs this time. And hell its probably the right decision cuz if he gets caught post fight the fine will probably be lower than the penalty he'll owe for coming in overweight. I don't believe Junior really wants to fight so him getting suspended for 2 or 3 years won't matter to him.

I'm pretty sure Canelo takes diuretics too so I doubt it will be an issue

Hes freaking 180?

You guys seem him right, he looks skinny and chit, hes been working his ass off, hes not fat at all.

making 164 is not going to be easy.

[ShoulderRoll]

I hope he doesn't kill his body like De La Hoya did, when he made 147 like 3 weeks out for Pacquiao

Interestingly Nacho was the trainer for De La Hoya in that fight too.

And his presence wasn't enough to overcome the weight drain.
