Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Chavez Jr. in Talks For May 6 - at 165-Pounds

[Biolink]

If Chavez can make the weight safe - Canelo could be in a for a tough night but I think he's too fast and too good.

He can't make the weight healthily.

And Chavez Jr is a complete bum. Canelo smokes him size difference or not, healthy Chavez or not.

Wtf.... 155 for golovkin(last yr) but happy to go to 165 for Chavez.... and yes I know for golovkin it was 168 for every smw and 164 for ward.... still doesn't make it any less of a joke... can't tell me he didn't duck golovkin now

Golovkin can simply sign the contract to fight Canelo at 160

Canelo conceded on the weight, because Mr 154-168 refused

..... which is fkn bizarre

Golovkin CLEARLY passed on the Ward fight

those 2 situations are not even close

lol Stoolio is definitely going to get a % in this one and not a flat fee.

stoolio may get a percentage

stoolio can sell more than 97k PPV's

This does not help Canelo's marketability, fact is whether you like it or not Canelo's been fighting undersized opponents with little to no chance for some time and his ppv number have suffered because of it. With JCC Jr he's fighting an oversized opponent with little to no chance.

Don't get me wrong, this will no doubt be an action packed fight and will probably do good ppv numbers but i think even the Mexican fans are getting tired of Canelo not challenging himself.

a HUGE PPV fight in Mexico will not help Canelo's marketability?

I don't think it will harm it, that's for sure

Funny he can jump all the way up to 165 for benchwarmer/inctive Chavez Jr. but when it comes to GGG and jumping up to 160,, his body isnt ready and he's a jr. MW

but, isn't that because Chavez is an inactive bench-warmer?

..... just like how Golovkin was willing to fight Chavez at 168 but needed a catchweight for Ward?

The biggest circus in town coming soon!

irony:

the posters who are on suicide watch because Canelo could be fighting Chavez, are fans of a guy who just fought Wade and then Brook LMAO

[Illmatic94]

this fight does more PPVs than canelo/ggg..chavez jr has that iconic name and these guys have a genuine rivalry..ggg fans calling chavez a joke need to stop because chavez is the "dream fight" for ggg.
