    Good. Was worried about his weight in all honesty, looked a bit weary at the presser.

    Solid weight, should weigh in on the button.

    He rehydrates to crazy levels. Alot of guys are picking Lee, but honestly; Chavez gets better with every fight. He'll never be great, but he can be good.

    Personally I disagree. Any fighter can be great if they have the will power and dedication to the sport. Hatton originally had the skills of a British level fighter at best but he worked his ass off to get too world class level. Is it likely that Chavez Jr will become a great fighter, no. However it certainly is out of the question.

    He seems to be on track. Although I have no idea if 5 lbs over is usual for a day out from the weigh in.

    I'm personally hoping it catches up with him on Saturday night and Lee demolishes him. Firstly, it can't be good for his body. Ballooning up and down has ended a lot of careers earlier than they should have. And especially since he's illegally using diuretics to get down to weight, which is bad for the liver. Secondly, lately he's been coming into a ring a ****ing light heavyweight on the night and muscling physically much smaller guys, massive weight advantage. It's bull****.

    Saw him at his Vegas house and he was looking really slim. Was rocking the sideburns.

    i agree its not fair. If he fought any super middle or light heavy's he'd get beat bad IMO
