    In a shocker, Top Rank’s Bob Arum, following Julio Cesar Chavez’s ten round decision over Luciano Cuello in Tinjuana, Mexico - said Chavez might fight Manny Pacquiao at the end of the year in a major event with a Mexico vs. Philippines theme. :blood

    Dont worry guys, the fight wont happen.......

    ......the only way for it to happen is for it to happen at 154 lbs.......Chavez struggles to make 154 lbs, so there is absolutely no way that it could happen below that.....

    I think its just Arum throwing Chavez' name out there for Pac to gain bargaining leverage in possible negotiations for Mayweather.

    Arum was clearly lying. He even had that "I gotta take a shower I feel so dirty" look on his face. He said Duddy first and foremost which is what will probably happen.

    I think it'll go something like this...Duddy (winnable), DLH (At this point winnable) and then if he survives that a catchweight fight with a Cotto or Margarito.

    Yessir.

    Arum said it in one of these numbers: "Eh...maybe if we can get the weights to add up somehow..if we can get the money to match up. I'd like to the Philipines vs Mexico with Manny Pacquiao against JCC Jr."

    In other words he might as well have said "This fight would never happen...but wouldn't it be fun if it did?"

    I doubt you have much to worry about. Chances are JCC Jr isn't even on the radar for Pac. I think a David Diaz rematch is higher on the list than JCC Jr :lol:
