I dont know how ya can **** on chavez jr so much. dude fights anybody. "but he ducked ggg doe", yea sure. Bob arum knows what he is doing.

[bigjavi973]

He received two offers. One for an extension and one as a solo fight.

He declined both.

Yea the solo fight was chump change with ggg earning more.

Chavez Jr. went over this in better detail. Jr. accepted the deal for the fight at $6 million but he didn't want to extend a deal with Arum. So Arum offered Jr. $2 million. Jr. then said he would not take 1/3 of initial offer and Arum never offered anything more than that. This was a sought after PPV card and the headliner was only going to get $2 million??? Many guys have made around that without PPV. Chavez said he was willing to accept a bit less than $6 million without the extension but not the lowball offer. Even Sr. told him to turn it down. Basically, Arum tries this with everyone of note when their deal is ending. They will only get what they are worth if they sign an extension. He did this with Bradley and failed when he tried it with Mikey and Chavez Jr.

Right on the money!

Turn down GGG, ducked Froch and now dodged dirrell. What a disgrace. He should fight Rosado on BKB and get knocked out into retirement.

That was all Arum. I think Jr. would beat Froch, Dirrel, and give GGG a good fight. He's just trying to get from under Arum, but he might waste away his prime doing it.

Good Post!!

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is a bum, there's no need to over-analyze on this guy. He hasn't fought anybody and is nothing like his old man, just the name that's all.

[Bushbaby]

Yes, it's called "ducking".

[PAC-BOY]

This guy is a joke....He should change his name and stop tarnishing his fathers great name with his bullshlt.

The Mexican boy needs to fight the British Cobra. He wont though, because he will get beat up.
