Comments Thread For: Roach: After Lee Fight, Chavez Jr. Likely Headed to 168

[Fists_of_Fury]

YOU might have "forgotten". Chavez 25th fight was his first welterweight fight. He started as a Junior lightweight 130 lbs. Didn't you read the article??

The lad is no coward; keyboard warriors are cowards. His very first fight ever, was his first professional fight. He's still learning. You seem to be keen to write on things about which
you know.......nothing? No harm, but do a little research.

Since the Rubio fight, up until yesterday, everybody was saying that he was doing very well and was developing into a very tough, not great but good fighter. Astonishing how everybody jumps on a perceived weakness, like a bunch of pirhuanas.....or buzzards. Your kind doesn't have any independent thinking processes. Follow the leader......It only takes the first one to talk crap for everyone to jump on board.

If I wasn't a long-time boxing follower, I wouldn't even bother to read such low level belchings. And I don't mean just you. I think all you guys must have been "spring-cleaned" from a collection of oher sites.

You took what I said out of context... I should've worded it differently. Chavez started ducking competition @ 147lbs.

Chavez Camp rejects Lee Camp request

Moments ago at the weigh-in for tomorrow’s WBC middleweight championship fight between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and top contender Andy Lee, representatives of Lee requested to weigh both camp’s gloves. That request was denied by Texas Commission Sports Inspector Robert Tapia. “They brought their own gloves and we brought ours,” explained Lee’s manager, Perry Mandera, “so we thought in the interest of full disclosure and a level playing field, we would weigh both pairs. We weighed ours out in the open in front of everyone. They would not put theirs on the scale. So, I requested Robert Tapia to make them do it. He told me ‘I’m the boss here. I say whether or not we inspect the gloves and we’re not going to.’” Mandera says he then requested Chavez trainer Freddy Roach to weigh the gloves in the spirit of fairness. “He pushed past me and said ‘we don’t have to, so we’re not going to.’”

Lee’s team issued this statement: “We just want everything fair. I don’t know why they wouldn’t drop the gloves on a scale to remove any doubt about a pair of gloves they brought themselves. Yes, it’s a new pair, but you ever buy a pair of shoes that say size 10 and they’re not? That’s all we were trying to resolve. So why won’t they weigh the gloves?”

Chavez is a joke boxer. That's why he got booed at the Marquez fight in Mexico. Mexicans from Mexico understand that he is a joke, but unfortunately Mexicans in the US that follow him are clueless. Im rooting for Lee tomorrow. Jr is an embarrassment to Mexicans. At least Canelo has improved his opposition with Ortiz. Chavez jr eres un cobarde.

What a coward! Ducks any competition from 147-160lbs... Where's he gonna run to @ 168lbs? I'm actually not mad he's moving up to 168lbs since the only way he has a shot at a title is through Froch or Ward. Froch annihilates him easily and Ward puts on a clinic. Martinez should be laughing his ass off!

A Floyd fan calling someone a coward. LOL Oh man!!! You don't see Chavez Jr. retiring for 2 years just to duck the division.

FYI I don't like Chavez but I find your post funny.

[flint]

the perfect time and reason to duck martinez.

i don't know why people keep saying he's afraid of martinez when the wbc champ at 168 is andre ward who i think would be a tougher fight for chavez because not only is ward a skillful fighter,he's younger and bigger than martinez,will take chavez punches better than martinez would have,atleast ward is the same size or even bigger than chavez...to me ward is a bigger challenge than martinez would be

If he wont fight Martinez at 160, he damn sure he wont fight Ward
