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. Chavez is a junior middleweight and Pacquiao has only fought once above 135-pounds, when he stopped Oscar De La Hoya last December at welterweight. Pacquiao seems too small for Chavez, even though the Mexican prospect has plenty of flaws.
“[As far as opponents] there is John Duddy, there is Oscar De La Hoya if he continues to fight. An there is third which is a little different because of the size difference but it would be the biggest fight of the year, with Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Manny Pacquiao, Mexico vs. the Philippines,? Arum said.
