Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr: I'm Close to Weight Already; Still Could Make 160

[bluemax]

I'd love to see Chavez win this. I'm so sick and tired of Dela Hoya and the rest of Alverez's handlers pound their chests and tell the world how good he is while they carefully cherry pick his opponents making sure that Canelo has a significant advantage each time either by fighting named fighters past their prime or much smaller soft hitting named fighters like Kahn. I love how they brush off the fact that he gave up the middleweight title to avoid fighting GGG and the few times he was forced to fight really good fighters he lost big time such as his loss to Mayweather and the gift he got against Lara. Chavez is right when he mocks Canelo telling the world he got the fight ONLY because he's been inactive and is expected to be severely weight drained for their match. Canelo is a decent fighter who has good media manipulators handling him. Even if he wins this he won't fight GGG until GGG is even farther past his prime. He's better at avoiding good fighters than fighting good fighters

Money is your answer, the fight generates lots of money for everyone involved and that goes also for vegas and the usa....

But what about all the deserving contenders who should have a title fight with Canelo. Seems unfair to those who deserve a title shot to be ignored for Chavez.

What title are you talking about?? Chavez isnt fighting canelo for a real title...

Oh god, here comes Sanchez saying they want to fight Jr at 160 since he said he could make it. Just stick to 168 man. It makes more sense.

STWEET!!! Those odds I would of bet a lil more but we most likely would lose are $$$$

Is there a website or something where one bets on fights like these? I've never done so, but I'm really considering it here cause of the odds

I feel ya, I hate to pay $0.00 again this month for my PPV in HD. Awe hell someone has to do it....

Looking to see Canelo stopped b4 the end of the 9th rd. Too much size and power, Canelo wu=ill run out of gas about then.Similar to Margarito vs Cotto I

That's the whole point of boxing today as worthy contenders get ignored for money fights and easy defenses by champs looking for more time to hold thier belts. Chavez is a disgrace to boxing and deserves nothing. Canelo should be stripped of his belt immediately. Boxing has no leadership or structure and boxing is run by crooks and motivated by greed and fueled by cash.

canelo already anounced he will vacate his belt since he is moving up in weight, and he just won that title in his previous fight...

Canelo wanted no part of the dangerous Charlo's and in typical Canelo manner the red mex ducked out of a challenging title fight. Canelo is always matched well avoiding GGG to fight the QUITTER Chavez.
