Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo-Chavez Possible at 160 or 162-Pounds

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya is stoked about Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's return to HBO - opening the door for future fights against Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto and his Mexican rival, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Canelo and Chavez Jr. and two weight divisions apart. Previously De La Hoya mentioned a weight limit of 159-pounds, but now he's gone up a few pounds. Chavez, currently having issues with his promoter Top Rank, fights at 168-pounds but claims he's capable of dropping down for the right fight.

164-165 is reasonable

162 would be the ideal weight in my opinion to see how dedicated jcc jr is..he should shed 6 pounds easily with the right diet and disipline.

[Tyler_Durden]

I think 162 would be reasonable, I hope they finally make the fight happen soon.

I think 162 would be a good catch weight. This fight could be an absolute war.

Can Chavez be strong at that weight? That's the question.

[GhostBlade]

Chavez Jr. can't even make 168 lbs. anymore, what makes you think he can drop to 162?

DLH is trying,when rumors started months ago it
was @ '58...2 much effort, lost strenvth 4 Jr 2 even try...Pac 2 small, as is Cotto...why no GGG???

[Check_hooks]

No way JCC Jr makes 162

This is soooo not happening.
Plus, if he wants to fight the best, he should face Golovkin
