Thread: Chavez wants Mosley

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is talking a lot right now. He says he wants to change camps (he'll be moving to Big Bear for his next fight), get a new trainer (ditching uncle Rodolfo Chavez, perhaps for Robert Garcia), and he wants to fight Sugar Shane Mosley.
Mosley (46-5, 39 KO) wants to fight Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather Jr. because he's 37 years old and wants major paydays, but neither fight would appear too likely. Recent scuttlebutt is that Mayweather doesn't think Mosley draws enough (and Mosley has never been a major PPV draw without Oscar) and that the Pacquiao camp really isn't even considering him.
It'd be a shame for Mosley to sit around fighting once a year again after his huge win against Antonio Margarito in January. A fight with Chavez would have to take place at 154, where Mosley is maybe 75% as good as he is at 147. Simply put at this age, Mosley at 154 looks like he should consider retirement. At 147 he's one of the world's very best still.
Still, Chavez (39-0, 29 KO) has never faced anyone even close to Mosley's class, and by that I mean the 154-pound Mosley. Most everyone, I suspect, would see Mosley ripping Chavez to pieces. JCC Jr. simply isn't good enough unless he surprises a whole lot of people, and I'd be shocked to see Bob Arum sacrifice his cash cow this year against a Golden Boy fighter. We're talking about a guy who struggled in two of his last three fights against Matt Vanda and Luciano Cuello.

Yea but there is a difference between 'real' and 'elite' fighters.Mosley is 'elite'.
Chavez needs to step up competition but you don't go from tomato cans to top 5 p4p.
You need to learn to walk before you can run

You got that right!LOL

Is Chavez under anyone's radar? I don't understand why Top Rank is trying to take shortcuts with that guy.

Shane would retire Chavez, maybe that is his intention.

Yeah but there are real fighters that could KO/UD him and then there is Mosley that would send his head into orbit.

Link please .

Yeah, Chavez Jr. makes no sense for Mosley. Besides Chavez has done nothing but somehow his name comes up in big fights. He hasn't even beat one good fighter yet. Let alone getting the opportunity to fight a legend. Mosley should work something out with Pac since they are the 2 fighters left without a fight scheduled. Roach has toned his catch weight nonsense down a bit. Mosley may have to give up 60% but then he must get the fight at 147.
