Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. Reacts To Roach's Claim of Bailing on Wild Card

At least he's smart enough to stay in good with Roach, the best trainer since Eddie Futch. The trainer that solved the Mayweather puzzle with a one armed fighter. The trainer that made an ACTOR named Mickey Rourke into an undefeated professional Boxer. Chavez has the pedigree, now all he needs is the trainer of the decade Freddie Roach

You're delusional. Freddie Roach didn't solve the Mayweather puzzle, Mickey Rourke was an undefeated amateur before he became an actor, and he didn't exactly have an illustrious boxing career. Roach is a successful trainer though.

How did he solve the Mayweather puzzle? His fighter lost 10 rounds in a boxing lesson and Manny was throwing both hands until the final bell! I know what a torn rotator cuff feels like and you cannot lift the arm. If Manny's fight is your answer to solving the puzzle then I am not sure how you find victory in losing that many rounds knowing what a guy is going to do coming into the fight. even Freddy admitted that Manny lost the fight.

Freddie roach is probably the best coach out there today. In terms of championship experience, and also solved the mayweather blue print with a one armed fighter. And I was there to see it unfold lol. Most expensive ticket ever

Anything to discredit... when you solve something, that means you won. That means other fighters will implement aspects of your successful game plan - for success again st said opponent. The rest is history, try to distort it - but it's history - Manny lost and his team came up with excuses

Chavez Jr. makes Jessie Vargas look like an amateur with dropping trainers.

idk. Wasn't there a story about Chavez jr. going AWOL on big bear training 6 months to a year ago? Pedigree like the chavez name can go both ways.

Best thing that Haymon can do with this guy is use him as a co feature for cards that might not sell great. Chavez is still good for selling tickets. Anything else and it's a waste.

1. Freddie really talks way too much and too often to the thirsty media, part of that is just being in LA I guess.

2. Chavez Jr. has been on notice for a good while now. I personally have a hard time believing him to have any dedication to the sport or to his boxing career. If he can pull his act together I would still love to see him in with Golovkin or Canelo like everyone used to talk about, but he has to make 160. He is a big guy for 160, and maybe it's just impossible now... But he can't compete with the champs at 175, he will get beat up bad by the likes of Kovalev, Ward, and Stevenson.

He had a good thing going when he was able to cut the weight and be the oversized, granite chinned monster at middle weight. Maybe he could get down to 168 at least?

3. Did him and Sergio Martinez kind of simultaneously ruin each other? Sergio was never the same after that round 12 thrashing Jr. gave him (his knees in particular). But Chavez Jr. has not been the same guy since taking his first defeat to Martinez each. Some weird hindsight there.

Chavez just needs to hang it up, stick a fork in him, he's done.
