Comments Thread For: Chavez Expects to Enter Ring at 180; Canelo Not Concerned

[robbyheartbaby]

Canelo comes in at around 180 on fight night anyway, the disadvantage is with Chavez having to come down to 164.5lbs.

Canelo coming in at 190. They will be fighting for the vacant limited edition WBC Turquoise Cruiserweight title. Winner becomes Ring champ at CW.

How is Canelo 5'9 when Floyd is slightly taller than him at 5'7 3/4 ?????

Idk why this fight is competitive. Jr had problems with a guy like Vera. Canelo has beat Cotto and fought FMJ. He's gonna get schooled. Alvarez by decision is where my $ is going.

And lost almost every round. Dont see what he really proved in that fight...

What a dog**** comment. Canelo usually comes in around 170 (maybe around little less) - a full 10 pounds less than whatever the **** you're going on about.

JCC will once again be MUCH bigger than Canelo (height and weight). While Canelo is clearly the favorite via UD or even SD...this fight should be a good measuring stick since JCC should both hit harder than anyone Canelo has fought AND absorb better than anyone Canelo has fought.

No matter what it's going to be a fun fight because it will be high contact. Canelo doesn't have the stamina to box and move for 12 and JCC only knows how to lead with his face and throw looping hooks. Def. a fun fight - Can't wait.

Of course he won't.. Canelo would probably weigh the same come fight night..

True.............

Canelo is clearly not 5'9

It doesn't matter if he comes in at 200 lbs, he will be weight drained and will not recover in time for the fight. Canelo's handlers aren't ******, there is a reason why this fight is taking place at 164.5 lbs. Good news though, they have already confirmed Canelo will be campaigning at 160 lbs from here on out and you know what that means :-)

Hey man I'm looking forward to it as well, but Canelo has been known to hydrate very well after a weigh in, while Chavez hasn't weighed less than 168 for years that's all.

Alvarez already sparred with GGG when around 17 or 18 years old. A lot has changed since then.

I know... thus the "again". And yes: mucho has changed. For both!
