    There needs to be a cut off limit for how much a fighter can put on over 24 hours, because at a certain point it is completely unfair. I think Chavez does not belong in this division, and the fact he virtually kills himself to make weight then shows up 24 hours later fully recouped to outweigh his opponents 10 - 20lbs is suspect. Look at how big he was compared to Zbik! That fight was so damn unfair to Zbik, who i still think did enough to beat that punk ass.

    Also, look at what happened with Arturo Gatti vs Joey Gamache... **** like that isnt fair.

    There are only a few boxers in HISTORY who have the skill set to dominate much larger opponents, Harry Greb is the first one to come to mind, and Jack Dempsey specifically when he faced the giant Jess Willard

    Why is Chavez fighting at 160, the guy should just move to 168 or even 175, I think there should be a cut off limit, 10 pounds at most, depending from weight class to weight class. 5 Pounds in the lower divisions. Chavez has already lost 4 TIMES, but still none recorded on his resume:!::rofl

    Just watched the Chavez/Rubio fight. Jr. corner Martinez? Not likely. Hold the fight in a state with drug testing which impedes what Jr. can use to cut weight and the fight gets real lopsided.
