Chavez Jr downfall was Vada testing

[TJ highway]

Well, Chavez sr did quit like a punk a couple times, against Frankie Randall and in his very last fight against some bum

but he was well past his prime when that happened so maybe he gets a pass

You can't be serious! His last fight, after a 25 year career (Fight 115?).

By the way Frankie Randal was fight 89 after 14 undefeated years! You must me a moron!

So would you say Muhammad Ali punked out against Larry Homes for failing to come out after the 10th round?

Fighters today don't fight 50 fights in a career let alone going past the century mark!

Chavez Jnr's only downfall is being a lazy, entitled POS.

[tokon]

I would say lack of dedication to the game is what got him, I think he does have some talent and certainly has toughness. He just never had that work ethic and that ability to keep his nose to the grindstone to truly make the most of the abilities he did have. Those abilities may not have been the greatest but he certainly could have got more out of them.

You cannot rewind/undo YEARS of poor discipline and lack of consistent training in one camp, no matter who your trainers and coaches are.

Chavez Jr is probably too old and too set in his ill disciplined habits to remedy them in time to salvage his career.

Another point, lots of people rant about how much shame Jr brought on his fathers reputation, even his father has criticised him. His father must also share part of the blame for this as, when Jr was growing up his father obviously did not instill discipline in him!

They need to just allow peds. Fights will be better.

No they shouldn't, because then you are punished for not cheating.

Riiiiiiiiiiight.

For me it starts and ends with not having any talent.

But you can certainly have your pick.

He also doesn't have heart, motivation, work ethic, technique, boxing IQ...

Spin the wheel and you cant miss.
