Chavez Jr is actually a very good fighter

[The Noose]

He is very tough, and can ****. But box? I wouldnt go that far.

He can look terrible, and then look good. But never great. Never elite IMO.

[Fr3$h]

Having that name is a mixed bag. He obviously got way too much undeserved attention to begin with, but now even if he is legit he has to go the extra mile to be more than "that guy's kid".

IMO he's legit but nothing exceptional. I am picking GGG.

[Loque-san]

Chavez Jr. is nowhere near "very good". I'd say he's a decent fighter when he comes in shape. Slightly above average. Nothing more.

He beat a fringe middleweight contender at 168 in his last fight. Sky's the limit. He is generally 15-20 lbs heavier than his opponents and rely on his chin. His defense is terrible, and he has average power.

[bojangles1987]

I don't think he's that good. A good amount of credit for his success can be attributed to his size advantage. Put him in the ring with light heavyweights or cruiserweights, where he belongs, and no one would give a damn about him.

[STEELHEAD]

I don't know. All he has proven so far is that he can beat fringe contenders (Zbik, Rubio, Lee, Vera) in close, workimanlike fashion.

He has some good attributes like chin and physical strength, but his speed is average at best and for all his size, his power is not much to write home about. But the biggest problem is his nonexistent defense.

Also, let's not forget that he has yet to fight a full fledged SMW. We don't know how well he fares against someone his own size.

Lol, I knew this thread was coming. Chavez Jr. Is an ok fighter. Nothing very good about him at all.

the above are reasonable comments.
butt the jr. butt kissers are always here on their knees with their exagerated tongue licking statements.
like what Black Barty said 'All he has proven so far is that he can beat fringe contenders '.

[Larry the boss]

lol,now that he is fighting GGG??

[UTEP]

I'd say he's above average at 168, nowhere near the top though.

[DeadLikeMe]

I feel like he has made solid improvements compared to where he was 2-3 years ago.

[Russian Crushin]

He's average. His massive size advantage keeps him competitive

Has fought at SMW X2 and LHW and has yet to fight anyone bigger then MW

[dan_cov]

Yeah now he is fighting GGG he is suddenly a very good fighter

Very good fighters don't get outboxed by Brian Vera, period.
