Comments Thread For: Marquez: Entire Team To Blame For Chavez Drug Issue

[Gino Ros]

But do you really think his "team" brought it to him or friends?

I count the people close to him as his team. He was training in Vegas...right? It's not like he trained back home with a zillion random friends.

its floyds teams fault that he went to jail, right? its his teams fault that he doesnt pay hia taxes, right?

Completely different scenario. Floyd owned that behaviour. Floyd got in trouble at home. Floyd is 35 and experienced.

When a fighter tests positive for steroids, do you view it as only him being responsible...or his team being complicit?

Marquez is ******. It's Jr's fault simply because his ass is a grown man and he knows exactly what he is doing. It's not the teams responsibility to hold his hand through life. This kid is a waste of space in boxing.

- This. I dont think freddie roach was out making drug runs for chavez jr. Hes a grown ass man making his own decisions he doesnt get to offload part of the blame onto his trainers.

Now if roach doesnt drop him from his stable after him not showing up to training and not listening then that is roach's own fault when it happens all over again next fight.

Not one person seen jr smoke in the ring. Its not on any team to make decisions for an individual. Its an individual choice.

I agree, it's a team effort, if they saw something wrong, they should've acted on it. They're there to support their fighter through camp, letting him smoke is not positive support, let alone letting Jr run his own camp, if a fighter does it all, he can't catch his own mistakes.

Chavez needs a trainer who will be though on him, and one that will teach him proper defense when closing the distance which is his key.

at the end of the day, you are responsible for yourself... you get in the ring and no one else. it's your own fault if you didn't train and got high. you are the leader of your team and they are there to help you, not force you to do anything.. at the end of the day you are the boss.

I should've trained with Freddie but then I got high
I could've won my fight but then I got high
Now I've lost my belt and I know why
Because I got high. Because I got high. Because I got high.

this is just his way of throwing Freddie Roach under the bus

Pretty much nailed it.
