    I think i heard that Chavez jr won't be fighting for legit belts until he's got 30 or 40 wins so in however long that takes we will see how much he improves. He's got good punching power which can cause problems to cotto with his not so strong chin, but who knows.

      Also, I don't know why you guys are already talking about Chavez fighting Cotto..

      I feel sorry for Chavez, people are going to try n push him way to fast, hopefully he's team don't listen to these ignorant people...He has LOTS of learn n hardly got any experience, this is like a amateur career for him.

          why are they trying to get him to gather up wins. Do they want him to have like 100 fights or wahtever like his father?

            If this fight happens it will happen in 1 year or 2! this fight will be awesome! and I predict julio jr wins this fight he is still growing and by the age of 21 when this fight might happen! he will be fully developed and more powerful he is only 19. He was 5 feet 9 last fight, and then he came in at 5 feet 11 this fight, he will probally be 6 feet 1 by 21 and fight at 147.

              no they are trying to gain experience! he had no amatuer background and he is in no need to rush. They are not trying to pad his record because this kid is fighting often hahaha its good to see him fight 1 every month.

                Chavez jr will probably be a world champion somebody. But its hard to access whether he would ever be a top tier fighter because of low quality of opposition. He seems to have good power, good tactics, and good overall skills so far as I can see. BUT, he has never been tested. He has always been able to stay back and do what he wants. To his defence though he has 0 amateure experience, and having so many pro fights on a big stage at such a young age (19) could be a major positive. He is a indeed a very good and accomplished professonal fighter for somebody that is 19 years old.

                  i would pick cotto in this fight even if it happened in 2-3 yrs cotto is just to expirienced for chavez jr...you can't even compare the opposition they have faced as pro chavez jr will not face anything much better than what he is facing now in 2 yrs . i know he did not have an amateur career but if he keeps fighting the type of guys he is fighting for another 2 yrs. it is not going to help him as soon as he is in there with someone with a pulse he will get beat ..cotto by k.o or tko .....

                    3 years from now is too much to know what would happen.

                    Jr. could be found out to not be tough enough, skilled enough etc etc. or Cotto could be found to not be tough enough himself or war spent, or beat.

                    I will say this Jr. Has very good pop in his punches so if his skills keep polishing up, he shouldnt be counted out.

                      Exactly...Cotto will be about set to retire when JC Jr. fights for a title...(I donbt no if Jr. is being pushed to hard though, it is more like a very slight rub)

                      Will this fight ever happen? Jason Estrada vs. Vitaly Klitchko
