Dan Rafael chat wrap 12/26:
Mayweather-Cotto 2 and Pacquiao-Marquez 5 would be successful fights.
:obama:
I wouldn't mind those two fights in the near future.

Most logical next opponent for Floyd is Khan.
No disrespect to Khan at all, but if that happens and not Floyd/Pac.... :snoop:

Crawford-Algieri for the vacant WBO 140 belt is a very distinct possibility.
:ehh: Hmm... interesting.

Legacy wise if a Floyd-Manny fight never happens it hurts Floyd more.
I agree with this. It wouldn't hurt Manny nearly as much as Floyd. Manny is more well-liked, has had more memorable (see: exciting) fights, and, whether you wanna discount it or not due to the catchweights, it's officially stated that Manny has more titles in more weight classes than Floyd. So, realistically and in terms of public opinion, it would not hurt Manny's legacy at the slightest compared to Floyd's if the fight doesn't go down ever.

RJJ vs. Michalczewski? RJJ didn't want to go to Germany (ironic that all his fights now are in that area) and Dariusz's team would never negotiate, no matter what amount, to come to the US. Believes RJJ would have toyed with him and won easy.
:sadcam:Can Roy just stop, please? He's got a solid gig calling fights for HBO, and with whatever brain cells he's got left, it would be a tragedy for him to lose his incredible insight and analysis to share with us boxing fans.

Believes that GGG gets a more elite opponent in 2015.
To me, if he fights at least 3 times, I wouldn't mind Cotto/Canelo winner, or even an outside chance of James Kirkland. Damn, I wanna see that breh fight again.

Has not heard any new news on Leonard Ellerbe. He is not responding to calls, texts, or emails.
:lupe: Has he fallen off the face of the earth? What :demonic: shyt did Floyd do with his ass?

No new info on Froch-JCC.
:upsetfavre:

Broner is supposed to be back March 7 vs TBA.
Better be a credible opponent. Not no D-level shyt.

Camacho likely gets into the HOF.
Thinks that Tapia is a HOF'er.
Wouldn't mind those two in the Hall. :yeshrug:

Froch-Chavez Jr. "Close" For 3/28 In Las Vegas
Posted by: Terence Dooley on 12/27/2014 .



By Terence Dooley

Nottingham's Carl Froch, 37, could make his Las Vegas debut on March 28, according to Niall Hickman of The Daily Express. The British newspaper has reported that a deal to take on Julio Cesar Chavez is close to completion, which means that "The Cobra" will get to top a bill in the boxing's fight capital.

Hickman also revealed that Kell Brook will return to action on the same night. A defence of the IBF welterweight title against Ionut "Jo Jo" Dan Ion has been mentioned as a possibility for the Sheffield-based Brook's comeback fight, his first since he was stabbed in the leg whilst holidaying in Tenerife during the summer.

Froch, 33-2 (24), has not fought since scoring a sensational eighth-round KO win over domestic rival George Groves at a packed Wembley Stadium in May. He has an IBF mandatory defence against James DeGale on the horizon, but could opt for a fight against Chavez instead.

Although he has not done enough during his career to justify another big opportunity, Chavez's name will help drive the Vegas show-topper and the 28-year-old has featured on PPV in the U.S. before. However, the 48-1-1 (32) former WBC middleweight world titlist lost to Sergio Martinez in September 2009 and looked lethargic against Brian Vera (W12 in 2013 and 2014 respectively).

Certainly, Froch would be the clear in-form fighter going into the mooted clash.

Eddie Hearn, Froch's promoter, has been working hard on the super middleweight champion's next move. He has been chasing Chavez for a while after declaring that Froch had earned the right to a big Vegas showcase. Hearn revealed that talks were progressing well earlier this month, and that there had been productive meetings between him and Al Haymon, Chavez's adviser.

Many fans have called for a showdown between Froch and Gennady Golovkin, however Chavez draws more water in Vegas and was always the key component for a big, Vegas-based money spinner. It's not one for the purists, but the fight will capture the imagination of the paying public and should do good figures, vindicating Froch's decision to bide his time and wait for the big one.

Am I the only one that thinks Khan could pose serious problems for Floyd?
I like his hand speed, and he can throw combos that could steal rounds (Think Leonard-Hagler). Correct if I'm wrong, but are Khan's arms longer too? If he can establish his jab (a weapon that has been proven to be somewhat successful against Floyd in the past, as Oscar and Cotto can tell you) it could create an interesting scenario of a close decision. I would still say Floyd wins, but ya never know...
