If he's "not ready" then don't give him a ****ing belt.

Chavez Jr. won't be ready to fight Cotto for a couple of years and he'll still lose. Now we have to watch Cotto disect Margarito, a fight I honestly have a hard time getting up for considering how he was obliterated by the Pac Man.

LMAO at people thinking Cotto vs Cintron happens.. I doubt that.. Cintron KO's Cotto bad. I hate to say it but Cotto eats streight rights, and Cintrons Streight Right is deadly.

Does not surprise me. Jcc is not ready to fight anyone at the level of Cotto. When the he'll was he ever ready? Never! But he was handed a belt. Arum: jr will need to take on more deveolpmental fights" translates to jr will continue to be protected by continuing to fight C+ or B- fighters at best in order to keep him a champ for as log as possible. I guarantee that he will not fight any of the top challengers or mandatory fighters such as Cintron or El Perro let alone Martinez, why? Cuz Sulaiman is a fraud like Arum!

After seeing the Chavez Jr fight, I can't see him EVER be ready to a fight against Cotto.

Exactly, it really bothers me when they say a fighter whose a champion is "not ready" for a fight. I know there r too many champions and it doesnt mean what it used to mean. But now, wit guys like Chavez and Alvarez who have won paperw titles, but regardless are "champions" are "not ready" for certain fighters. It's absurd. They are CHAMPIONS, which is supposed to mean you take on all comers.
Plus, it's not like Chavez is a 21 year old kid with 14 fights. He's 25, has been fightin for many years and has fought 42 or 43 times. How much seasoning does a fighter need before he's "ready"?

Also, who is Cotto gonna face, especially if Margarito remains injured. I saw someone post about Cintron. I actually think that's an interesting fight. It would crown a Ring Champ at 154, which I always like to see, and there arent many other options, especially considerin Angulo cant enter the country, and Arum won't let him near Martinez

[Mr Randy Watson]

ooh sorry.. let me join the bandwagon and hate on chavez jr. and give him no credit as a Pro. boxer... he's way bigger than cotto.. and we all know cotto is past his best... I'm pr too little dude.. but im realistic, cotto would have problems with chavez... now get off my nutsac for stating my oppinion you waste of jizz.

After SCUMBAG Arum & PARASITE Sulaiman paved the way & made it as easy as possible for Chavez jr to get the WBC world title, now Arum says something that was already known--->Chavez jr is NOT ready to fight top of the line opponents!!! TOO LATE!! He's got a world title & he must defend it! Chavez jr will get KO'd by any of the top 2(Rubio & Guerrero) & even #9 Andy Lee will take him out!! So unless Sulaiman is gonna start bumping the top guys that represent a threat to Chavesillo & starts ranking TOMATO CANS so his undefeated record could stay intact & at the same time he could get defenses under his belt, he won't last long as the CARDBOARD Champion he is!!...It would NOT the 1st time PARASITE Sulaiman does something like that, just look at Edgar Sosa's record..That's how Sosa managed to get 10 defenses of his title!!!

[Catrin]

ARUM U PIECE OF ****...!Nobody needs cotto, HOWEVER Marco Antonio Rubio, IS mandatory challenger to the middleweight champion of the World Boxing Counsel!!! I'm confident that the World Boxing Council will get me that fight. I did my part and now I hope the [WBC] does theirs, because I earned that title shot," said Rubio.
