Apparently Froch hurt his elbow and called the fight off. Chavez Jr. will fight Andrez Fonfara in April instead. Catchweight 172... is this the step into the LH division that Chavez Jr. is looking for?

Hadn't heard it was officially on? Sucks for Froch, he's said he really wanted to fight in Vegas, Chavez was about the best name/payday for as little risk as he'd get fighting anybody. If it's a bad injury he might just retire, I still hope to see him against Golovkin though.
Chavez is lucky this fight has been called off. Chavez JR is a very good fighter. He's just not as tough as Froch. Carl would break him down round by round and then end things around the 10th or so. On the other hand Froch is getting old and needs to have only two more fights and walk away like Calzaghe did.Quote:

The money man between 160 to 175 is Junior... whether we like it or not. Aside from Cotto, not a soul is gonna draw you any money. From GGG, to Ward, to Stevenson to Kovalev...
Chavez can pick the litter and make heaps of cash. Win, lose or draw!
I wonder if Chavez Sr. makes his son give him a % of all his earnings, since they are really his;D
Catchweight :vd: Like its going to matter when Chavez stacks on 20 lbs before the bell.
If not for "day before" weigh ins, Junior would've been parking cars for a living a long time ago.
lolol....;DQuote:

I predicted back in January that this fight will not happen. Good thing for Chavez as he would be in a wheelchair
And he doesn't deserve the shot. Fonfara will beat him up anyway.Quote:

As far as Fonfara: has he improved lately? I've seen him fight live about 3 years ago and just wasn't impressed.
I didn't know the fight was ON. I thought Chavez-Fonfara was signed a couple of months ago.
I think Froch will keep developing various injuries until he gets offered a fight he wants. Then he'll be injury free again.

Froch v Junior should never have been on. It is a silly fight.

You mean Haye didn't have the right to barge into the HW division, skip all the preliminaries.... and demand immediate title shots against the Klitschkos??
Well....... I never!
It really would have gotten no one no where...Quote:
