    On the scene, Oscar rejects megabout Canelo-Chavez without a 156 lb CW.

    thanks roid for reintroducing catchweights back into the mainstream. It's great to see the big fights of our sport being held at faulty invented weights

    I'm really not even all that interested in this fight. Both guys have good fights they can make within their own division.

    Im disappointed in Oscar cause i think 158 pound catchweight is a fair weight in which i still think alvarez can beat chavez jr.

    Considering how heavy Jr. weighed last night, I don't see this fight coming to fruition anytime soon.

    Anyone above decent will be Chavez Jr. The guy has been fighting stiffs and almost got koed by contenders.

    I'm surprise pac or floyd haven't pounce on the opportunity to claim a middle weight title bc Chavez will be easy pickings.

    De la Hoya, (same guy who arranged a catch weight against Hopkins for Bernard's middle weight titles) now insists on a catch-weight to benefit his fighter for JCCJ's middle weight title and somehow you've managed to point the finger at Pac?

    I would like to see them fight at 150 for a shot at Pacs 150 lb title. Pacquiao is best ever at 150 and a match against either one would be huge because Pacquiao is also really undefeated.

    Goldenboy cash cow VS Top Rank cash cow

    And people think this fight is gonna get made anytime soon?

    No way either promoter is taking the risk losing to the other. This won't be about fighter vs fighter this will be about promoter vs promoter.
