wow, you really don't like Canelo :dwillhuh:

I think while his recent choice of opponents can be criticized he still has a better resume and fought better names by the age of 26 than many-many other active fighters.
I also think he gonna KO Chavez and it won't be that competitive but I can't get mad at this fight. There are fights which just make too much sense economically that I can't even get mad they do them. This is that type of fight. Plus while I think Chavez is below Canelo in skills you must remember that this guy, Chavez competed in 175 not so long ago while Canelo is rather a middleweight realistically. Chavez' true weight class is probably 168 so there you have the size advantage for Chavez which makes this fight less of a bullshyt imo...

i dont like canelo or Jr breh..and yes there is a danger to Canelo. Canelo can easily lose his prime and blow this cherry pick since he didn't put a rehydration clause in that contract. If Jr looks like a small heavyweight come fight night..im going to be :popcorn: in that theater lol.

AJ vs Vlad
Bellew vs Haye
Breazeale vs Ugonoh

All three fights made for great theater and drama.

Heavyweight division byke and has had the best fights so far this year.
For real. Tremendous showing by Breazeale in that fight. I knew breh had heart like he showed in the Joshua fight :jawalrus:
Haye fighting that long on a torn achilles heel :damn:
Wlad recovering after the first knockdown and Joshua getting his second wind is the stuff of legends :banderas:
The atmosphere, the drama, was a throwback to the 90's heavyweight era :banderas:

we've had 2017 FOTY candidates in 115, 126, 130, 140, 160, 168, and now HW. HW may soon take back its place as one of the lit divisions in boxing

the so called marquee division, 147, better get its shyt together soon with a quality fight...one time vs swift and porter-berto is not getting it done

If Keith runs it back with Porter :jawalrus:
Kell Brook vs Spence might get crazy because kell brook sometimes likes to bang.
Santa Cruz and abner Mares 2 may come for the throne at the lower weights though :ohlawd:

And while it wasnt a classic or anything, Jacobs vs GGG was a very good tactical fight too.
