Which "junior" was more artificially hyped in relation to their actual skill?

[GhostofDempsey]

Eubank Jr. Chavez Sr. had much bigger shoes to fill. No one expected Jr. to come close to his legacy. While it is true that his name opened up opportunities for him that otherwise would not have been, he was always judged against his father and could never earn the same level of admiration and respect given his limited skills and lack of discipline.

That's a good comparison!

Both Juniors were hyped because of their famous dads, and both failed to live up to the hype because it meant they didn't need to work as hard as they should have worked in order to get media attention and big fights.

I voted for Eubank Jr as the most over-hyped because I don't remember Chavez Jr or his team making the kind of outrageous claims about him that we were hearing from team Eubank and their supporters.

And Chavez Jr did win a world title, ko'd Andy Lee and almost did the same to Sergio Martinez, who was the best MW in the world at that time.

I’ll piggyback your statement.

I voted Chavez, because we've been waiting for longer for him to realize his potential, but in reality both guys could be really good fighters, but just grew up too rich and with too much comfort in their lives to really want it and that's their undoing

Both would be world beaters if they knew struggle

Both were fed bums for a long time and have paid the price. I will say that Eubank seems to have more discipline so far. Chavez, Jr. is a pot head who loves cereal. He fights now and then.

Wow that's a good question, TS. I would say Chavez's ratio of hype to talent is slightly greater.
