I say if that was Sakio Bika in there last night instead of Manfredo then Chavez wouldn't have made it past the 4th round.

Anyone agree ?

The only way Bika beats Chavez Jr is by distracting him with pictures of his monstrosity of a wife.

If Canelo-Chavez gets made at CW, im starting to think that Chavez could beat him... and it's not because i think highly of him either.. People can shit on Chavez all they want but the dude has a legit chin, dude knows how to take a punch. Canelo's chin is questionable..

He dam near looked like a light heavyweight compared to Manfredo and it seems like he wont stop growing.. Boy is huge. With that kind of size advantage and chin, i can see him imposing his size on Canelo in route to victory...

I am beginning to sort of, well, I guess, the right phrase, is not hate on Chavez Jr. too much. He didn't have much of an amateur career. He is still relatively young and inexperienced. He can easily be outboxed but he is a very big middleweight and he can make for fun viewing. I bet a fight with him and Darren Barker or Andy Lee is a fun fight to watch.

Bika's wife does resemble Jabba the Hutt, but aside from that Bika is a world class contender and a HUGE puncher.

Chavez Jr. would get hammered I think.

When Manfredo Jr. is your biggest win, thats not saying a lot.

Although, I felt Manfredo would do a lot better, I was dead wrong.

Is Bika retired?

Is Bika retired?

He just fought Andre Ward in Oakland a year ago. I watched it live. Was a disapointing performance, but he kept getting tied up and headbutted. And was outclassed by Ward. But, he was dangerous throughout.

That's how I saw that fight too, but since then he's been missing in action.
