First let me say Jr was verrrrrrrrrry impressive last night. Good power, great body punching (as usual), and a solid chin. My complaint is that there are some of you putting up posts like- he's the new Hagler and my favorite- the best damn middleweight God ever created. My bytch is that should'nt he at the very least beat the real middleweight champion (Martinez) before we consider him ATG and HOF worthy? Does a win vs Andy Lee really get you these kind of accolades? Really? Really?
Me too, once the bell rings then I'll believe it. I'm kind of happy this punks being over hyped, cuz thats more money for me when Martinez drops his ass. I'm Mexican and I'm not afraid to say Jrs an over hyped cheating punk who has no chance vs Martinez. I've seen at least 2 fights where Jr shouldve lost and another 2 where he won against a nobody and looked absolutely terrible at it. Im cashing in on sept 15th :banana:
Rozo24, all you say is true. Chavez is entertaining,iron chin, etc. My point is does beating Andy Lee make him worthy of comparisons to Hagler, RRJ, or Robinson. And one more note worthy question, is there a reason why team Chavez Jr has repeatedly ducked Martinez(the real middleweight champion)? BTW, I'll believe that the Martinez/Chavez Jr fight is gonna happen when the bell rings.
It's some kind of lust that they have for the guy. They can't explain why he might be good, and they can't defend any technical criticisms about Jr's gaping holes. As I say, Jr is OK but his fans are creepy.
The kid is an all out entertaining figter and keeps winning. I understand he is not te most gifted fighte in Boxing but he makes it up with his will and determinaton, not too mention an iron chin. WTF

After he beats Sergio (easily) and then Andre Ward-- will you apologize for being SO disrespectful to the best damn middleweight god ever made?
After Sergio out works Chavez and after his Urine comes out dirty... Will you please stop staying so high in those clouds and come back to reality.
did I really just see a thread comparing him to RJJ?
that's beyond retarded.
and I would think Mexican fans have more to cheer about in JMM
it has to be noobish weirdos getting behind JCCJ.
it doesn't make any sense
This was the most legit win of Chavez Jr's career. The prior wins were like meh. But this one was good.
One good win=Chavez Jr vs Prime Roy, Ward, beats Martinez, Mike Tyson, beats Michael Jordan in a basketball game, could sing better than prime Michael Jackson, beats Anderson Silva in an MMA fight, Beats Agassi in Tennis, Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France, is faster than Usain Bolt, has a better verse than Big L in a freestyle, could have single handily take the Spurs to the Finals, better accuracy than Joe Montana throwing a football, landed on the moon before Neil Armstrong.
Hey Mushybrain, why has your so called best middleweight God ever created absolutely refused the opportunity to fight the real middleweight champion? My point is that a fighter will never get universal respect as an ATG for fighting Zbik,Manfredo, Rubio, and certainly not Lee (his resume is weaker than Jrs).
A win over Sergio which wouldn't happen would not make the guy a ATG or future HOFer.
I agree the hype is ridiculous, fair play he made Lee fight his fight which in all fairness is pretty easy to do (see Lee vs Vera, Ewan etc)
It was a very good performance, a good win but nothing spectacular, certainly as far as I am concerned anyway.
