Boxingsocialist: Chavez Jr Must Shed 12lbs in 3 Days

I heard he was bringing in Ricky Hatton as a nutritionist

 

12 pounds in 3 days is nothin

 

Jr can come in at any weight he wants. He owns wbc and can do as he pleases, so Sergio can sit the **** down and realize that he is neither mexican nor born to a famous father, both a requirement to be a wbc great.

 

His results will be pretty erratic if he moves up so I wouldn't be surprised if he hangs around 160 for a couple more fights. Remember that most of his success is due to the decisive physical advantages he holds over most of his MW peers so moving up would negate all of that.
Also, most of the HUGE money fights(Cotto...if he hasn't retired yet, Canelo...if he and his team are up for it... Golovkin...if he's able to get a few high profile wins on HBO and make it worth the effort for Jr.) will be at 160...except for Pavlik.

 

I heard Butterbean didn't want to fight Chavez for being in fear getting outweighted.
