Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. Says Team Made Decision on Dirrell Shot

[The Problem Child]

Good for him, Dirrell is a disgraceful running coward. A fight against him would be frustrating, and not only for him but for us fans as well. **** Dirrell, he is a sissy.

However, it's time for Chavez to start working towards a fight with Froch or Golovkin. He need to stop the diva ways and come to an agreement.

Maybe Jr is just afraid that Arum turns the ref and the judges against him...
Dirrell doesn't seem to be a big threat per se and Ward hasn't the punching power to mop the floor with Jr -- who was never dropped.

Why would Arum do that when he would gain nothing from it? None of Jr.'s opponents would be top rank fighters to build on.

Chavez Jr. will continue missing on few good fights (GGG, Froch, Dirrell, etc.) until he gets a solution on his contractual situation. Arum wants to retain boxers by forcing them to sign contract extensions (otherwise he will pay then very low). If Jr. were the first one wishing to leave Bob, then I would have doubts but it is clear now when others have also done the same (Stevenson, Garcia, etc.) I hope Chavez Jr. stick to his rights and fight on the best possible terms without giving up to Arum's greed and control.
