Sorry if someone posted this already, but I just saw this on Freddie's twitter.:
Freddie Roach @FreddieRoach
looks like andy lee but nothing definite RT @JuanEspi28: @FreddieRoach jajajaja so who's next for chavez ....
Lee vs. JCC jr. who ya got winning?
Lee + Steward > Roach + Chavez jnr
Lee is quicker and more skillful than Chavez. Anybody who has watched both fighters should be able to see that much, he has better power too ... chavez seems to be able to take more punishment and has a better chin. However Lee's stamina is dodgy and he doesn't handle pressure well. I was at one of his fights a while back, a fight he dominated until the final rounds where he got tired and got dragged into a very even brawl for the last two rounds. And that was a ten rounder not a twelve rounder.
But the bottom line is if Lee fights smart, keeps moving and doesn't get dragged into the trenches he WILL beat the paper champion.
If the fight happens, Chavez Jr. will break Lee down and stop him late, Lee doesn't handle pressure well. Chavez just has to be careful not to get caught with something big as he's moving in, I don't think Chavez has fought a bigger one punch puncher.
I hope after Chavez beats Lee, people will not do the same they did with Rubio calling him a Bum and one of the worst contenders in the division after Chavez dominated him.
They said the same thing about Rubio beating Chavez when Arum didn't want the fight for Jr, and we all saw what happened in the end.
It will be really easy for Chavez to drag Andy into a brawl, Lee just doesn't have the mobility to stop Chavez constant in your face style of fighting.
And the Body work will be more effective vs a taller fighter like Lee
Just FYI, Andy Lee isn't even ranked in the top 10. Anyways I think it's a better fight than Margarito.
He should vacate or fight Martinez.
I give Chavez small credit for Zbik, because Zbik isn't really that bad. He just doesn't have a punch at all. And I give Chavez decent credit for Rubio. Rubio was considered a legit step up and rightfully so. If Chavez can beat Lee, who is still far better than Rubio to me, I'd give him some pretty good props.
I hope it's Andy Lee. Lee is a legit fight, Margarito should just stay home, he's been done since 2009.
Andy Lee could out box Chavez to win, but I don't see him knocking Julio out. Julio is overrated in the sense that he got to be a huge star because of his daddy, but he's also underrated in that people call him a bum. He's not a bum. Zbik was an alright win and Rubio was a pretty good win. Yes, he's ducking Sergio, but Andy Lee is another legit fight.
I'd favor Andy Lee to beat him though.
Arum will probably sacrifice Margarito to Vanes if Julio fights Lee. Margarito is like the TR punching bag the past 2-3 years. After he got KO'd by Mosley and was seen as past his prime-not even that good at all, he's been used as a punching bad one fight after another.
He took a beat for 12 rounds against Manny. He took a beating from Cotto till the fight was stopped. And now Arum wants to make him take a beating from Julio for 12 rounds. And if not Julio, it will be Vanes Martirosyan, mark my words.
Margarito is a boss... freaking 3 title fights in a row if he gets Chavez Jr? Man's a title magnet!
If he wasn't robbed in all of his losses, blatantly... he'd be a first ballot HOF #1 P4P greatest all time above Ali and God himself

Rubio if he wanted to or knew how to, could have boxed way more.
Chavez wasn't forcing him to do to much(Besides the elbow use) during the fight. Rubio for some reason just let Chavez in without throwing. No jab and straight right.
Either way I do give Chavez credit for the Rubio win.
But I would give him a lot more credit if he can beat Lee.
And tomorrow we're going to get Chavez Jr vs Ivan Calderon at a 159 CW.
It will be Lee, Sulaiman doesn't want some serious injury to Margarito so it will be Andy.
Lee is very beatable, it's a style thing and Bob knows it, so he will make the fight.
I would give Andy Lee a great shot at beating Chavez.
Its pretty easy game plan for a 6'2 Southpaw. Stay outside, Use jab, use reach, Tie up on inside.
Wash and repeat.
Steward will know this.
