Im pretty sure the new WBC weight restriction regulation excludes chavez jr but say he does have to move up the natural fight his team would be pointing to would be the glenn johnson fight, how do people see this fight going, i havent see how glenns looked but i'm pretty sure he doesn't have the workrate, pace, stamina, he did a couple of years ago, how does this version of johnson who showed up to fight bute and froch do against chavez.
Chavez Jr would win a wide UD when in fact losing by 2-3 rounds, and get awarded the WBC Silver (or Bronze, if Silver's not available) title.
Don't think he will have to move. Chavez came in at 181 agaist Rubio. Under the new rules he can't weigh more than 176 at 9:30am weigh in on the day of the fight. This still leaves him another ten hours after this to put on any amount of weight he can.
I honestly don't think Glen Johnson has anything left to win a big time fight... he can make it competitive for some rounds.. but no where near close to winning.. Just my opinion.
