The only reason for posponing this guy's career is to suck off more people's money while the hype builds up. Don't get me wrong, i've never even seen him fight but talented people start taking challenges around 25 really. Take Pavlik for instance, if you will.
I'm tired of reading people insult and criticise Chapman. He's just age 25. Donnell Holmes and Faruq Saleem are in their mid-30s and never had any decent opponents - why doesn't anyone ridicule them?
Double standards.

Fernandez is a 41 year old cruiserweight who started at welterweight back in the mid-1980s. He'd been stopped in 13 of his previous 15 fights, including all of his last seven.
Why don't people like you ridicule Holmes like they do Fields and Chapman? Double standards.

I just don't think a lot of people even know who they are, Chapman and Fields on the other hand are/were given more attention. Fields because he was with Arum and had built up a nice record and Chapman because he might be Haye's next opponent.

Here's a thread made by the great Donnell Holmes himself.
JD Chapman is frequently ridiculed on Boxrec and ESB. And Tye Fields jokes were the rage here at boxingscene for awhile.

Some people really took him as a serious prospect because of the Tye Fields jokes until he was KO'd in one by Monte Barrett.
Bob Arum hyping Tye Fields as a future world champion was even worse than the jokes.
I hadn't seen anything about Chapman here until he was announced as a potential opponent for Haye. From what I've seen, people have mostly criticized Haye for making his re-debut against someone who hasn't really fought anybody of note. It's not really hate directed at JD himself.Last edited by TheGreatA; 09-17-2008, 01:17 PM.
