How the fck can anyone compare being the son of Floyd Mayweather Sr to being the son of Julio Cesar fucking Chavez, arguably the greatest Mexican fighter of all time!!
Chavez Jr gets hated on here by jealous nobodies who would love to be in his position but there's not a single son of a legend in Boxing(mens) who has achieved what Chavez Jr has achieved.
I'd hazard a guess that his dad must be from his point of view the most proud dad in the world, knowing how extra difficult it must have been for Chavez Jr to be the son of such a legend and still manage to achieve what he has achieved.
corey spinks
Fernando Montiel, his dad was a contender in the 70' if we include Floyd then Montiel's gotta be there!
Erik Morales, like montiel his dad was a contender during the 70' at flyweight
Also Wilfredo Vasquez jr. Anthony Mundine..
I could be wrong but didn't Roy Jones Sr. Fight Hagler?
For some reason I can really enjoy Jr's fights, even though he is the complete opposite of his father, and the best skills that he owned from his dad are what made him go so far up until now.
His godly chin and some natural boxing instincts.
Other than that he is very tall and big in comparison to his father sometimes even a bit clumsy, not even close as motivated as Sr. Most likely spoiled, one of the most hated while Sr was one of the most loved.
It's a fun parallel between them because people look for comparions and you can see some of it in the ring.
But he's has definitely done better than I expected him to do.
if your saying boxing legends yes but there has been many of fighters sons that have done better then chavez
There's a massive massive difference between being the son of even a top level contender to being the son of someone as legendary and famous as Julio Cesar Chavez.

I'm not saying he's a world beater but come in who's done better? He's spoiled and at best a bottom top ten fighter but answer my question!
your favorite floyd mayweather jr

He wasn't famous when he was fighting, he is famous now because of Floyd jr. In fact Sr. Was not even a contender, he was a bum.
He was briefly a contender, even making the top five at 147, but nothing more and not for long.
Then again, being a top five today usually means you're a titlist.
The mentioning of Floyd should end this thread lol.
Anthony Mundine is another example.
Of course! How could I forget that one?
For those that never knew, Tony Mundine was a top middleweight in the great Carlos Monzon era. Had about 100 fights, losing about 10, and fought the best.
His only title fight was against a prime Monzon unfortunately. But he also fought and beat Emile Griffith, Antonio Aguilar, Denny Moyer, while his most notable losses were to Monzon, Bennie Briscoe and Luis Manuel Rodriguez.
Not too bad, and I suppose it could be considered that Anthony Mundine topped his dad. Certainly in the mainstream sense.
Why not? You said famous, not great fighter. I would say Floyd Sr. is a famous boxer.
