Comments Thread For: Chavez Sr. On Why His Son's Career Declined, Canelo Big Rise

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Mexican boxing legend Julio Csar Chvez Sr. has no issues discussing the up and down career of his son, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. During an interview with Christian Martinoli and Luis Garca, he opened up on the subject and explained that his offspring "deviated" from being a dedicated fighter once he began to gain prominence and money.

Am I in for some stinking nepotistic excuse making ?

How his son had it rough ?
The game was stacked against him ?


''what happens is that he deviated [from what made him successful]," Chavez Sr, explained.''

Yeah, he finally had to fight real fighters.

Easy, he wasn’t disciplined and never really applied himself. JCC Jr was not a “bad” boxer by any stretch. Just lazy and complacent. He grew up as the son of a legend so he probably felt in the back of his mind that he didn’t have to work THAT hard to gain fame.

And he was right, he inherited fame from being JCC’s son, and so he didn’t work as hard as someone who came into the game having to make their own name, like Canelo Alvarez.

Idk if Canelo Alvarez came from a boxing family or if it was only him and his brothers who fought but I doubt Canelo’s father was some popular, legendary boxer. The way Canelo boxes clearly shows he is a student of boxing and the way he stays in shape shows he is disciplined and has not allowed fame to get to his head. He clearly always applies himself in every fight.

Tldr; the difference, in my eyes, JCC Jr is lazy, didn’t earn his fame on his own, not disciplined. Canelo applies himself, earned his own fame, stays disciplined even though he’s wildly popular.

I’m not a fan of JCC Jr at all, never rooted for him, but he wasn’t a bad fighter. He just never really applied himself.

He beat several good fighters like Andy Lee, Marco Antonio Rubio, Sebastian Zbik, Brian Vera, and John Duddy. Were these guys future HOF’ers? No. Did I think highly of any of them? Only Andy Lee and Brian Vera.

And yes, I know Vera’s record is bad, but when Chavez Jr beat him in 2013 Vera was the king of upsets having upset wins over Mora, Lee, and Dzinzurik. And I just plain and simple respect hard working journeymen like Brian Vera. Guys like him are real fighters. Guys you see in the gym working hard.

He left out the drugs and booze. 100% Jr’s hunger killers.

And he’ll never be a significant factor again

Like Sr said, Canelo is only that fighter yeah you want him to be when he's against Amir Khan or Rocky Fielding. Canelo doesn't take a whole lot of risks and has adapted the Mayweather stay on the defense Style
