Chavez was actually paid not to fight by the Polish Mafia.Chavez looked blah against Fonfara. When Fonfara was landing on him he clammed up too. And no one was paying him to dive against Fonfara. Canelo is much better than Fonfara.
Chavez has ties to the cartel, there was probably a lot of gambling going on and he was told to survive.
This is a really shit thread.
He would have made that much money had he won and fought Golovkin and at least as much money had he won and taken a rematch with Canelo.
He was a fucking title holder for years he isn't some broke kid from the street as if 2 million would be life changing for him. He is the son of fucking Cesar Chavez Sr who even after blowing a lot of money probably was far from poor.
Have you seen his house in all those countdown shows?
True but he wasn't getting any big fights lately after all his bullshit. Someone asks you to take a dive for 3 mil when you're on the way out is hard to say no to
This.
It's a shame that people refuse to give Canelo credit. If that was GGG in there last night we'd hear about how Chavez was scared of his "otherworldly power" and how invincible he is. Not mention the double standard of Canelo looking multiple weight classes smaller.
How would Chavez know that?Canelo hasn't hurt anyone with a pulse at MW and couldn't even ding a 34 year old blow up WW. Why would Chavez, who said GGG has much heavier hands, be scared of Canelo's power?
Does this mean that all of Golovkin's blowout wins were works too? How much more competitive was Golovkin/Lemieux than Canelo/Chavez ?
Lemieux/Golovkin was at least as one sided as saturday's fight. Lemieux quit, Chavez took a beating for 12.It's just that you can tell David was trying. Chavez was not trying. It was a weird fight and the wwe antics at the end didn't help
How would Chavez know that?
Why didn't Chavez open up at all during the whole fight? Why did he clam up and not do shit after tasting Canelos combos early? Why wouldn't someone with a size advantage over the MASSIVE (in your words) Canelo use it and put pressure on him?
It's because he didn't wanna get starched and countered into the nether world. Your Canelo hating gimmick has been stale for months. Time to switch it up.
Lemieux/Golovkin was at least as one sided as saturday's fight. Lemieux quit, Chavez took a beating for 12.
I think he underestimated canelos skill set and was afraid of his counter strikes.
Liam Smith ?Canelo hasn't hurt anyone with a pulse at MW and couldn't even ding a 34 year old blow up WW. Why would Chavez, who said GGG has much heavier hands, be scared of Canelo's power?
