Are people too hard on Chavez jr ? i think so, i know he fights lower echelon fighters and that he should of stepped up ages!!! ago but i still think he get a lot of unfair criticism, ive heard people call him a bum.
He has his limitations as fighter but ive always like him, he always puts on a good fight almost everytime he fight, unless he scores an early KO.
Being the main event on a PPV and fighting a nobody is BS but i still think people should lay off the kid.

as long as people don't hype him up to be something he's not, i won't hate him
He just has to face top competition now. How old is he going to be until he faces a top fighter considering 154 has Martinez, Angulo, Cintron, Mora, P Williams.
I mean, he "can't" beat any of those guys?
Maybe a little but it's understandable, he's put on PPV main events, ranked in the top 10 by the WBC while beating nobodies, it says something about his level of opposition when John Duddy will be a step up after 40 odd fights.
lol you gotta point there.
It's not his fault he is a PPV attraction. His management control his career, and he sells in his homeland. Easy money.
I just hope 2010 is his break-through year for competing at the top against legit contenders. He isn't as bad as people suggest, but it's easy to look good against his level of competition when groomed right. I like the guy and wish for good things. Never easy when your dad is one of the greatest boxers from Mexico of all-time.

Yes people are too hard on him, he's in a no win situation.
Even if he turns out to be a decent fighter, it won't matter. Having a father like he does is like being Michael Jordans son playing basketball. No matter what he does he can never fill the shoes of his father and because of it people will call him a bum.
I just wish he would have made up his mind sooner. He did not want to be a professional fighter. He did not want to be a fighter at all, hence his lack of amateur record which is like two fights I think. He is by no means a ppv worthy fighter though.
