Comments Thread For: Chavez Sr. Would Rather See His Son Retire - Unless He Changes

[iamboxing]

spoon fed mamas boys rarely have enough heart to be true champions

Pops should have said that to him in private a very long time ago. Now he actually trained and put in the work with one of the best. Even in awesome shape just has great chin mediocre talent never will be elite never

[bronx7]

I wonder when pops was using the heavy coke had to be at least when Randal beat him Whitaker beat him that was no draw. But he had a elite legendary run before that all time great

Come out of retirement and beat some sense in to him

That'll do more buys than Gingerbread boy vs. GGG

[HarvardBlue]

We would all rather see your son retire Sr.

Respect for keeping it 100

Snr needs to realise the life he's given his son has made him the man he is today

0 struggle . Brought up without having to fight for anything

Born with a legendary name doesn't give you the right to compete with world class fighters

95% + world champions have had to fight their whole life

Well said and true.

Eh. Look - there are plenty of fighters worse than Jr. People ride him so intensely because he is the son of a legend - something he had no choice in. Yes, he's fallen short of his own capabilities, and yes, his career will be considered a letdown when all is said and done. But that can be said for a HUGE amount of fighters. It's just that those other fighters weren't sired by a great.

I think we just need to get on with saying Jr is a good, not great fighter, and leave it at that. Digging up this "living in his Father's shadow" crap is beating a dead horse.

So sad to hear this great Mexican legend say that about his own son. Jnr was brought up with the silver spoon that's what the old man forgets. Since Jnr lost the middleweight belt his career has been an ABSOLUTE shambles.

In the actual interview, JCC Sr. said, "No puede seguir haciendo las cosas a su manera, valiendole madre todo, es triste decirle pero, cuando a la persona le vale madre todo, es un vale madrista, no le importan las criticas, no le importa esto, no le importa lo otro, quiere hacer las cosas a su manera, las cosas no funcionan" -

Rough translation: "He can't continue doing things his own way, not giving a **** about anything, it's sad to say it, but when you don't give a ****, you're not worth ****, he doesn't care about criticism, he doesn't care about this or that, he wants to do things his way, things just don't function."

Senior should let the kid run his own life. He wants to do things his own way. As long as he's not getting in trouble with the law or doing drugs Senior has to learn to back off. Chavez Jr. is a grown man.
