Macklin willing to risk title shot for Chavez fight

DEFEAT to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr could significantly delay a third Matthew Macklin world title shot, says manager Brian Peters.

"We're looking at Macklin-Chavez in May. Once you get on that level, it's a very elite level and you don't want to really step back from it," said Peters.

If he loses again he has to come back with another win. That's why Andy Lee needs a few wins to get going."

The whole title picture is so much of a mess that Macklin is being credited for extra title fights and whilst Sergio was the main man in the division, their fight wasn't for any legit world title, just the daft diamond belt that is just given to whom ever the WBC feel like giving it to.
:huh
