  • Comments Thread For: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Ready To Live Beyond His Name

    By Jake Donovan - When you’re successful at something for long enough, you eventually get by on your name alone. It doesn’t matter if you’re as good as you once were. Once your name rings out, the coasting often follows immediately thereafter – and lasts for as long as you can milk it.

    Today’s game features an entirely different breed of fighters and fight personalities. The reward needs to be revealed long before most are willing to put in the work. Not helping matters is the greedy intentions of more than a few in the sport, looking to turn a quick buck by using familiar names to help sell a bill.

    Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was never going to be as great as his legendary fighting father – few in the history of the sport can ever claim to be, after all. But the second-generation prizefighter certainly had the opportunity to hold court and at least make a name for himself.

    Instead, he became the poster child for the marketing bust that has proven to be the exploitation of Generation Never. Whatever talent he possessed was buried under a lazy work ethic and a promotional and marketing team that was too busy counting gate receipts and pay-per-view sales to concern themselves with whether or not he’d amount to anything as a fighter.

    Chavez Jr has the potential to become #1 P4P boxer. People should stop hating him and give him a chance to prove himself. He is only 24 and has lots of time to improve and build his own name.

      This fight is a big step in that direction.
      Duddy is durable & can crack a little bit.
      And is going to there to win buy any means.
      A win here puts him on the right track.

        P4P fighter? I don't know about that but at least we are seeing that the kid is trying to show us his full potential and that's all we can ask as fans.

        There's nothing worse than seeing a kid who doesn't work hard and doesn't take what he does seriously. I would very much like to know how Freddie Roach's name came into discussion when thinking about a change for JCC jr.

        I know there are tons of very capable trainers in Mexico, I wonder why he chose Roach. Maybe it was just to get away from Mexico which might have been the best thing for young Chavez.

          I think this is the only move chavez could of done at this point, by getting with Roach. There are some great trainers in mexico no doubt, but staying in his country to train would be too much of a distraction and I believe he'd end up going back to his normal training habits. But hopefully he stays with Roach and learns more. Mabe even win a title some day.

            His talent seems to disagree.

              He's not a bad boxer, I don't know why you guys seem to trash the guy as if he's some club level fighter. The first time I saw him the first thing I noticed was that he had good fundamentals, throws good punches and you can tell has learned a lot from a young age.

              I agree, he might not be incredibly naturally gifted but neither was his father. I know he's nowhere near his father but I think if the kid takes the sport seriously, he can be a decent fighter.

                i just saw him in his workout session with freddie r., ill tell you this much, i never thought he was more than a B fighter, but for what its worth he looked A LOT better during his workout session. this is considering that there wasn't anyone there to punch him back haha. but he was actually using angles and moving around in ways i'd never seen him do! so it was fun but come saturday night i hope its enough.

                    Yeah he's not gonna ever be a world beater but at the same time when he's beating every C+ fighter in front of him it's safe to say that he himself is not a C+.

                    At best the kid will be a B- or B+ fighter.
