They've been saying his Vera fight keeps getting pushed back because he has stayed clear of the gym. Judging by this photo taken at the Omar Chavez fight, I'd say that may be accurate.

Yup, his father looks pretty pissed off at him as usual. I bet HBO is pissed as well. Did is father have plastic surgery or is that what happens after a lifetime of boxing. He looks like a Mexican Mickey Rourke.
Jesus he looks like he's well north of 200lbs
He should retire if he does not have the heart for it any more as he certainly does not have the dedication to stay in shape.
:sheep: He literally looks like a dejected baby fat riddled 15 yr old who was just scolded.
I remember seeing his dad at the Forum in LA a few weeks before the Whitaker fight looking pretty well lit.
Man the harpoons.
I'll give him a break he's probably in Mexico smoking everyday, I'm more upset he took a prime date and might not even fight.
Who else wants to fight on the prime date?Quote:

If it was an image of Mayweather I would be shocked, but not Chavez Jnr whose habits are known.
He's got to be 250 at least.
I suppose that accounts with this comment,Quote:
"Golovkin and [Daniel] Geale are the best at 160-pounds, Sergio Martinez is out. I believe that if Golovkin wanted to fight me at 168-pounds, I could knock him out. There is nobody else who could beat him out right now. I can also fight [Golovkin] at middleweight, but it would be better to fight him in the middle or at 168, because if I don't have to struggle with the weight and I go in the ring strong - I can knock him out," Chavez said.
I'd become the biggest Chavez Jr. fan if he ends this GGG hype.
Won't happen, he won't put down the burritos and marijuana long enough. If they did happen to meet GGG would have actually trained. GGG can just hit him in the gut and step aside as taco bell and license plates fly out of Chavez.Quote:
