Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. Weighs in at 178, More Confident of Shocking Canelo

[MidWestBrawler]

Yes, not sure if it's vada or usada but Chavez Jr mentioned in an interview that they had shown up to test him that morning.

the chemicals memo has these guys on is not on the banned list and therefore not yet detectable.

He has got a lot of weight to lose and nowhere to lose it from

But he doesn't look bad now

Just water.

Hopefully Jr rids boxing of that cancerous coward.

Here we go. Another coward who's never been socked in the mouth before cause he always runs from a real fight calling a boxer a coward...
I guess seeing that young kid in Europe die last week during a fight still doesn't open up your eyes to make you understand that boxing is a very dangerous sport and no Boxer who gets in the ring to fight is a coward.

Except Canelo, now he is a coward

[elfag]

why are there so many people saying he still has a lot of weight to lose?

He used to cut 20+ lbs of water weight and balloon up inbetween fights. Hes been slim for a while now and 14 pounds is nothing a month left. He will be fine

Just to expand a bit on the Jacobs comparison:

Jacobs
- weighed 174.8lbs at the 30 day weigh in
- ie 14.8lbs over, or 9.25% over the 160 limit

Chavez
- weighs 178
- ie 13.5 lbs over the contractual limit of 164.5, or 8.2% over

Couple of other 30-day weight comparisons:

Lemieux (vs Golovkin): 9.6% over the fight limit
Wade (vs Golovkin): 9.8%
Brook (vs Golovkin): 10%
Canelo (vs Khan): 5.7%
Mayweather (Pac): 2.4%

These aren't cherry picked, just the easiest ones to find.

Its still quite a bit of weight to lose, but Chavez looks to be on point with the weight so far, and depends if he manages it right between now and fight night. Promising.

Always nice to have statistics, thanks for the info, I think Chavez Jr. is on point.

Chavez has Memo LOL

I'm predicting a Pacquiao-like KO of Canelo...

Marquez was better than Pac

Chavez is not better than Canelo

[aboutfkntime]

I'm still picking Canelo but if Nacho improves his defense and he's in great shape Canelo will have to go through hell to win. Chavez has shown an iron chin and will so if the tightens up everything else he'll give Canelo a lot of problems. I'm still going with Canelo because he's the smarter fighter.

1 camp with Nacho won't make much difference technically

but it will prepare him well physically/mentally

Canelo gonna lite that boy up

[aboutfkntime]

I was thinking "Chavez is looking on track! No problem!" Then I read your post and realized how lean he looks at 178...

its those last couple of pounds

hence the current trend of HUGE weight-penalties

Pac started it with Hoya

as-in..... you WILL lose that weight, and it WILL affect you
