Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. - The Son of a Legend or a Worthy Successor?

[tredh]

This is why some people should never post. Chavez Sr. fought a lot but don't think that being active means he fought nothing but bums.

He fought the best of his time in 3 weight classes and beat them all.

I don't care if you have 1000 fights, it's WHO you beat that counts. This is the biggest bull**** when people talk about Chavez Sr, that he fought 50 Mexican cab drivers.

He fought the best of his time in 3 weight divisions. His son isn't him and his career isn't anywhere close to where Chavez was at 30+ fights.

I like Chavez Jr but he's living in the shadow of a legend, not a good thing to crawl out of.

I agree with you that Chavez was a great fighter and fought some of the best. But just like you can't take away from his career that he fought some of the best you can't take away that he fought a whole lot of cab drivers in stay busy make me some money fights in Mexico.

I think the problem is two fold.

1st, no fan likes it when a fighter gets special treatment because of his name. Chavez is clearly ducking his mandatory challenger Sergio Martinez, which the WBC stated at their convention in December 2011. almost any other fighter would have been stripped for refusing to honor a mandatory defense.

2nd, Fans know Chavez isn't very good. if he were Arum would have stepped up the level of his opponents. just because he is the son of a legend he's getting pushed down out throats. against Manfredo I'm not sure if HBO couldn't praise him enough, it was a Chavez love fest. this guy gets so many passes that any real fan of the sport gets disgusted. some Top Rank shills are trying to make Rubio into something but he isn't, come on it's the same Rubio who quit against Pavlik. Chavez isn't good and writers and HBO should just accepted it. I don't like being told somebody is good when it's clear he isn't.



the whole boxing is a business is a piss poor excuse. Boxing is a sport first and should give its fan the best match ups. it's not like I'm paying money to watch Bloomberg TV for the opening of the stock exchange. other sports are businesses too and yet they manage to do just fine though real competition

That is so disrespectful! Show some respect! The man is 44-0 and you're claiming he's afraid of a fighter that got KO'd by Antonio Margarito? A fighter who has a DRAW against a Blockbuster cashier?

Show some respect! 44-0!

44 have tried, 44 have failed.

you are an ignorant b1tch. Just because you don't fight in the US means you fight bums. Ask Haugen. Chavez the best ever Angelo Dundee said it. Floyd is overrated.

Guy you're all over the place. Reduce your sugar intake then tell me what you really feel remember to WOOSA behind the ears. Who the hell said anything about Floyd?

As far as I'm concerned Jr is a MW Butterbean.

He needs an impressive showing against Rubio to change my mind.
They are counting on Rubio being slow to win this fight. The WBC has Jr's back so pretty much sure if he gets into trouble they will bail him out some way

You never know man, it might be deja vu David Lemieux style.

You crack me up man. Your sarcastic hardcore support for Jr is comical yet admirable.

Whats not to like about JR in the ring?

Its everything outside of the ring that I can't stand. Which is thanks in large part to that vile snake, Bob Arum, and the disgusting WBC.

Otherwise, inside the ring, he's a hell of a guy to watch.
