    Papa Superstar flogs his jiggly behind with his old WBC belt on national television and then sits on his back while he does 200 push-ups.

    This isn't a cherry pick and to call it one is misinformed.

    50/50 fight, Chavez is considerably larger but the catchweight will make it a bit more even because Jr will be drained and especially since they will most likely have a rehydration limit.

    Canelo is more skilled but Jr is tough and durable. TBH I think I slightly favour Jr if he isn't a total corpse. Canelo is hittable and he doesn't have good cardio. If Jr can apply some pressure he can get him out of there.

    I catch your drift, but that was also a severely drained Jr.
    You can't tell me that at any time during his 160 "reign", Chavez Jr was an actual middleweight. If you look up 160 weight drainer on wikipedia, you might get a picture of either Chavez Jr or McClellan.

    This is only 72oz north of those days, though. Pretty much the weight of a steak fajita (incl. the cast-iron skillet).

    Have you ever heard of the restaurant in Amarillo that gives you a FREE dinner if you eat a 72oz steak, with the baked potato and salad? It might be worth the drive for you.....

    28 hours in a car!!! :babeando:

    I better spend at least 14* of those getting road head from Emma Stone.

    (*negotiable as low as 8 hours if the steak is REALLY juicy)

    This one is easy. Canelo's judges have already filled out their scorecards. Plus Chavez is tailor made for Canelo.

    Not convinced Chavez will come in healthy... If he is won't be an easy fight for Canelo... But it's more likely we'll see a drained ghoul who's just showing up for a payday.

    I'm picking Alvarez to win. Along the way, I suspect fuel for his haters will arise as he will lose some rounds to Chavez on volume alone during rounds in which Alvarez takes off to recoup the stamina.

    Oh man ESB is giving Canelo 9/1 odds. Chavez at 164.54555 doesnt stand a chance
    Canelo about to win his 5th world title by winning the Super Canelo Weight title

    Half a pound less and he could have won the title at Golovweight (164).
