Canelo vs Chavez Jr Official for May 6th

[Master]

I dislike both fighters and if we can get a double knockout that would be good.

I feel the same. What is better for boxing? I think Canelo winning (dominant would be perfect) is better for the sport. The GGG fight still remains a distant possibility then.

Does it? It may mean that he will fight at another weight below or above to avoid GGG. Canelo could try and fight Saunders but he really is embarrassing himself.

As soon as GGG shows any sign of slowing down or weakness then the Ginger one will come running to make the fight.

I mean that if Chavez wins then a GGG/ Canelo fight is several diminished. Alvarez will probably try to milk a rematch/ trilogy with Chavez to wait out Golovkin a little longer. Add Saunders, the Lemieux/ Stevens winner maybe Eubank and GGG could end up waiting another year or more.

On the other hand, let's talk about what it means if the expected happens, which is a (shudder)... Canelo victory.

Let's be real here. What POSSIBLE excuse could Golden Boy and Canelo have now for avoiding a showdown with GGG?? I mean, these guys used every excuse in the book, from letting the fight (cough)... "marinate", to laughingly saying that Canelo was too small for 160 (obviously I must've missed some math classes in school, 'cause I always thought that


164.5 > 160



Of course, Canelo and his people will be praying that GGG loses to Jacobs, 'cause they'll be off the hook. Wait.... unless Jacobs then calls out Canelo, in which case GDP will have to come up with a whole new set of excuses.

i would guess if they are not going to fight golovkin within a couple of fights after this one( i suspect they will take on bjs before golovkin) then alvarez will be taking on the mexican champ at super middleweight and sell it as another mexican grudge match then keep jumping around random/ made up weightclasses

The thing is if people hate Canelo so much they could just boycott him and refuse to pay for his fights. A PPV is something like 5 hours wages for some people, so if you don't like him just don't pay him. If a GGG fight happens it is probably worth an hours wages, so you might consider it, but otherwise screw him. I hope Chavez Jnr knocks him out and I will watch it on You Tube later. If I ever meet Chavez Jnr I will buy him a doughnut.

Surprisingly, the undercard is solid. It would be a very good free fight card. The main event is nowhere near PPV worthy though.

This SHOULD be a throwback blood and guts fight....POR EL CORAZON DE MEEEEEEEEEEXICOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I thoroughly dislike both JC Jr. & Canelo. That said JC Jr has 0 reason to lose this fight and THAT will be why he loses. He's a ne'erdowell who has made money riding Papa JC's coattails and he'll put in a shitty performance because he'll expect a win to be handed to him. Canelo for all I dislike him, he at least has worked for his money, he believes he's worth more than anyone else does but whatever he's a boxer with a big ego, no shortage of those.


Canelo wins a decision and then there's whispers of a fight vs Pacquiao which will never fucking happen and let's see maybe he fights Garcia or Thurman, he won't fight either Charlo brother or Lara, he will want a big money fight but apparently not vs GGG and there are pretty much none of those around.
