Who else wants to fight on the prime date?

It was the Lucas-Garcia date it's a week before Mayweather, Golden Boy is going to put on a smaller show in Texas, Chavez Jr is a huge star he's expected to sale out an arena vs Vera.

He looks no worse off than the average westerner, but is clearly between fights. A lot of fighters have looked like that and worse. Hatton and Toney spring readily to mind. Even someone like Calzaghe would gain a lot of weight. Having said that, he is supposed to be an athlete. It isn't a particularly shocking image though. 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,

"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.
