Chavez vs Rubio Reportedly Done For February 4th Bout - Boxing News

Comparitively this is a pretty big step up for Chavez will beinteresting to see how he does.

[ElTerribleMorales]

wouldn't be shocked to see it end like the Lemouix fight, Chavez Jr leading early then begin to fade (he has known stamina issues) and then Rubio coming on strong late, either beating him down the stretch or stopping him in the later rounds by accumulation of punches which Jr takes quite often against lesser fighters, either way lets see if he does manage to pull off the win to see if he has the guts to actually step in with Martinez as he says he will

[Gocougars3]

Wouldn't be surprised to see this fight vanish in to thin air like the "Quillin-Rubio fight".

Ironic and sad that we're still talking about "steps up" for a 44-0 fighter, isn't it?

Seriously. No doubt Chavez Jr. has been coddled and made more money than many fighters have with far less talent. However, it's not as bad as Tito and El Terrible point out. He has faced Molina twice and Zbik, both of whom are good fighters. The fights were close but Chavez Jr. was in tight with both opponent (pause).

I posted Dibella's opinion on the other thread about the WBC enforcing the title defense for Chavez Jr. against Martinez. Dibella reiterated multiple times that he would be open to working something out with Arum. Chavez Jr. facing an opponent in the Spring as long as he faced Martinez in the Fall or something of that nature. Frankly, a Martinez v. Chavez Jr. is a pretty big fight at middleweight even if Chavez Jr. is an underdog. There are only a handful of fights that are bigger really.

As between Rubio and Chavez Jr., I like Rubio, but I bet it's a fun fight to watch.

JCC Jr. is doing what his dad did...training on the job. I dont think he had much of an amatuer background so of course he is going to fight lesser opponenets to start however I have never heard JCC Jr talking crap to anyone or considering himself to be P4P. Tito and ElTerrible hate on him because he's a bigger draw than most Puerto Rican fighters at this stage in his career without ever facing top opposition thats the same reason they talk crap on Canelo.

On the flip side I dont see much coming out of Chavez Sr's major rivals son Camacho Jr.
he has a pretty impressive record himself at 53-4-1 (http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=19105&cat=boxer) but I dont see any real big names on there am I missing something? Oh wait he did fight David Lemiuex and got knocked out.
