how much longer can Chavez make 160?

2-3 more fights

 

At the rate he's been growing, like 2 years tops.

 

He needs to wait for Froch and Kessler to retire and for Ward to move to 175lb before he even thinks about moving to 168.

 

he's going to have serious health problems if he doesn't stop cutting down so much weight between fights

I've seen pictures of prisoners from WWII who looked healthier than Jr. at his last weigh-in

 

For the biggest fight of his life against a genuine slippery skill fighter like Martinez, Jr. is taking days off and missing workouts????

That has got to be a sure sign he was actually sick coming down in weight that much and still trying to navigate an extreme physical workout regimen.

You cant come down that much weight and want to compete against a real elite of the sport.
If he stays at 160 lbs for much longer he's going to have to face fighters on the level of Pavlik and below who are not that fast and not that sharp.

Jr. should really take a fight at 168 lbs next. He does'nt need to face any of the elites there right away.

 

Seriously, it's not healthy to be cutting so much weight like that. For his sake, I hope he is not using diuretics and is doing it through hard work and proper dieting.

 

He can't make it safely now...He should be moving up immediately. He's going to be so strong and active at 168.
