Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr: Canelo Alvarez Did Not Satisfy Expectations

[jypehob]

I was going to post about the irony in JR talking about meeting expectations, but seems like I'm a bit late. lol.
I hate to admit it but Martinez was right, Chavez Jr is nothing more than that. A JUNIOR.

[BrometheusBob.]

This fat lazy bastard had the whole Mexican and Mexican American population rooting for his success then laid egg after egg and now wants to criticize Canelo?

Boy please.

[icha]

He is trying to drain GGG isn't he.

wait, didnt GGG him self said he can make 154 easy??
so either he is a liar or you are a liar...
according to GGG fans canelo struggles to make 155 and according to GGG him self he can make 154 easy, so who is draining who?
if the title is on the line i expect the fight at 160, i will rather wait until september instead of 155, but lets not act like GGG never said that...

[ruedboy]

Don't shoot the messenger. Chavez is right.
Canelo is younger, bigger, stronger, fighting at his natural weight and he doesn't dominate a smaller, older fighter whose years past his prime?
Alvarez is a good fighter but a bit overrated. But WTF that's boxing.

ROFL, WHAT?????????
chavez jr high again

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. saw his countryman Saul "Canelo" Alvarez as the rightful winner last Saturday night in Las Vegas, but he feels Canelo has failed to meet the expectations that were required of him.

Canelo (46-1-1, 32KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over Miguel Cotto to win the WBC middleweight championship. The fight was close and far from a dominating performance. The judges scored it one sided in favor of Canelo (118-110, 119-109, 117-111), but even the Mexican star's trainer disagreed with the scorecards and felt the bout was a lot closer.

Chavez Jr. talking about not meeting expectations.....the irony!

Absolutely right. Jr. barely trains for fights, keeps smoking weed and missing weight constituting a big disappointment not only for his famous father and fans but for the world of boxing (most expecting young Julio could do much better). At least Canelo has dedication, discipline and is willing to improve not wasting his boxing future like Jr. has done.

I love how both of you think Trout was prime because he beat washed up Cotto.

The Cotto that Canelo and Trout fought was busted. The Cotto who was a real threat was busted up by Mayweather and Psc, finished off by Trout--who did what after Cotto.

This whole Cotto resurgence BS is garbage. He beat very damaged fighters.

I bet you are the type to say Cotto looked good when he beat Geale, but GGG had done it at full 160, and you'll say he fights nobodies.

If Canelo was anywhere near as good as his fans claim, he wouldn't be trying to match up against WW like Tim Bradley or even some say PAC. Guys he'll carry 20 pounds on in the ring.

He's complaining about weight advantages against a guy who fights lighter than him. So it's an advantage if what, the guy is within 5 pounds of Canelo on fight night?

Dude drains down 20 pounds to fight at a fictional weight division, but we're supposed to believe he is something special.

If he were, they'd not even be considering vacating the title to duck GGG. They'd be setting that fight up right now




He is trying to drain GGG isn't he. Last I checked Canelo is a MW champ, MW lineal and Ring Mag champ. And every bit the size of a true MW.

And th last I heard, Canelo was saying MW wants to fight him, has to come down to his weight (class) of 155.

My definition, that is attempting to drain folks.

A MW champ, lineal champ, Ring Mag champ, who demands all other MW fight 1 pound above JR.MW.

Draining fighter!

Very convenient to now say Cotto's resurgence was BS, when before the fight people said it was the best fight that could be made, and a tough fight for Canelo. People were split thinking Cotto could win. But of course now that Canelo has won, it has to go down as a cherry pick for Nelo.

As far as the weight he isn't the only fighter to drop weight to make weight, there are countless examples of that including Pacquiao who would fight at 130 even though he'd enter the ring at 147. And most guys he's in the ring with also put on 15+ pounds on fight night. Trout was the same size Canelo was on fight night for example. The catchweight demand has been used by many fighters as well. Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto just to name a few. It's accepted when you like the fighter, but bashed when you dislike him.

You're an idiot troll who knows very little about boxing and just started watching since GGG. 1200 post since August, yeah, troll.

Well give it to Chavez cause he really has lived up to his exceptions. His fight with Fonfara showed who he really is.

rubbish, Trout was in his absolute prime and coming off his career's best w.

Cotto was in his career's best shape, he moved and bounced more than ever and didn't gas in the later rounds like always does

Cotto was also ¨rejuvenated and improved under Roach¨ if you believe the claims of Cotto fans from the last 2 years

Canelo's not like Chavez jr, Canelo has work ethic and discipline, two qualities Jr never had

Another idiot on here who likes to talk out of his arse.

Trout was in his prime, coming off a huge victory against Cotto. Many people didn't think Canelo was going to take the Trout fight, but of course after Canelo beats him, Trout is a bum right?
Also Cotto was suppose to be the new Cotto. The revitalized Cotto who with Freddie Roach had KO'd three opponents in a row. But now that Canelo beats him he wasn't dangerous.

And I love the he drains fighters quote. He fights them above the 154 limit, but he weight drains them?
