Comments Thread For: Arum: Chavez Jr. Presented With Golovkin Deal For 7/12

Nobody is questioning Jrs grit, it's his skill level that's lacking. No jab, slow plodding footwork, and leaky defense are Jrs problems. A dedicated body attack, solid chin, and good power are enough to overcome these faults vs the Veras, Lees, and Rubios of the boxing world. Against fighters with real skills (Martinez, GGG, Ward) its isn't. Jrs gonna get butchered in this one

Good post, I'd just change "good power" to "big size advantage". 2 stoppages in past 10 fights, vs Manfredo and frail top 15 Lee

He wouldn't lose, not even a chance, but I agree, he should stay at 160lb. If Chavez wants him, he can stop being lazy and make the weight.

People didn't think Martinez would lose either, and he came very close. Golovkin's a come-forward fighter, he takes a lot of punches.
