Wilfredo Vazquez Jr had 0 amateur fights and he's already fought Arce and is in line to fight Donaire, that broke down excuse will only get him so far, if he wanted Martinez' belt he should have stepped up and fought him, not throw around other fighter's names to try and make himself relevant (he's called out DLH, Cotto, Alvarez, and plenty of other fighters only never to deliver), Chavez needs to step it up, don't really see how after 45 spoon fed fights anyone can really dispute it, hell Alvarez is younger and is already taking on better opposition
    I'll leave the comparison of Vasquez Jr. and Chavez Jr. to you and VD. The reason I dispute his need to step it up is his lack of amateur career. I also don't think you'd pace him any differently if you were managing him given his lack of amateur career. He literally had two amateur fights. Martinez himself had a very limited amateur career for that matter. I wouldn't fault him for not fighting Martinez, but he should vacate the belt. I think a fight with Lee or someone along those lines would be ideal right now for his development.

    again, Vazquez had NO amateur career so that excuse should be thrown out the window, whatever lack of amateur career he has he's already made up with pro fights, already been in the ring 45 times, albeit against bums, you can't expect a guy to learn a goddam thing in the ring if you only feed him guys that are going to basically roll over for the fucker, Chavez HAS NOT stepped it up in opposition at all, Alvarez who is accused of the same thing and is 4 yrs younger, no amateur career and at least after criticism is going in against Cintron on Saturday night, if Chavez next outing isn't against someone at least rated in the top 5 at 160 he should be stripped but like I said, Uncle Sulaiman isn't gonna let neither of those two actions happen...

    Zbik was ranked in the top ten when he faced Chavez Jr. although I thought Chavez Jr escaped with a lucky win that night. I saw Zbik winning or at the very least that the fight was a lot closer than was suggested on the cards.

    Zbik was ripped off and he himself has never won a legitimate world title, so he's not even on the level of Arce, Donaire, or Cintron

    add in that Chavez couldn't even beat Zbik clearly even with a 20+ lb advantage, doesn't speak well for the kid

    My only point was that Chavez Jr. hate has gone a little overboard. I have two problems with Chavez Jr. He has a title that he hasn't earned and he consistently is handed HBO dates when there are better fights out there for HBO to put on. I don't think he's ready for Sergio Martinez or even as ready as he ever would be. He needs to learn to box a bit more to reach his true potential, which isn't going to be elite, but he can still refine his craft. That is why I think he should face someone like Andy Lee etc. in his next fight.

    I'm not anti-Vasquez Jr. I believe Donaire will thoroughly dominate him, but I mean no disrescect toward him.

    I would prefer to see Donaire fight Nishioka, winner of Ramos/Rigandeaux, Mares/Agbecko winner, and maybe even the winner of Vic/Moreno than Vasquez Jr. Am I alone? If he is indeed can't make 118. Then how about wait until Ramos/Rigandeaux clears up before making a decision on who to fight next? However, I guess I understand wanting a first fight at 122 to be relatively easy before getting in there with Ragandeaux/Ramos or Nishioka. Wouldn't a Chris John v. Nonito Donaire fight be huge in a year or two assuming John continues to face nobody's up until then to preserve his record?

    No, you're not. This fight is total garbage. Any of the fights you list is better.

    Personally, I think if he's outgrown 118, he should just bypass 122 and go straight to 126 where the big fights are. He can have his freebie there instead of wasting it on Vasquez, and then if he looks/feels good at the weight, work toward a fight with Gamboa, which IMO would be bigger and better than the Gamboa/Rios match Arum is trying to sell (though that one is not bad either; Rios's size may be a problem for Gamboa). Salido, JM Lopez, and Chris John are obviously all better fights than anything at 122 as well.

    I'll say it again -- if he's going to waste a fight at 122, it should be with Nishioka. That's the only matchup that's even halfway competitive at that weight.

    my grudge with Chavez Jr is that he wants to be treated as a boxing star, so in order to be treated like that he should be fighting the best, cause if his goal isn't to be the best then what's the point? he's making millions fighting bums and living off of his dad's name, it's about time to shit or get off the pot, every other "talented" son of a famous fighter fought World Level Opposition at one point

    Camacho Jr, sucked ass but he still fought the likes of Leija (this was before Leija's win over Bojado mind you), and Karmazin

    Marviz Frazier, fought the likes of Holmes, Tillis, Bonecrusher Smith, and Tyson, he was KO'd in the 1st against Holmes and Tyson but hell he made the fucking effort

    there are more just right now off the top of my head can't really put them together

    Ronald Hearns fought Felix Sturm. Dyah Davis is working his way up the ropes. I get your point. I'm going to wait to see how his title situation shakes out and who Chavez Jr.'s next opponents is before I pass judgment. I thought Manfredo Jr. was really just one last gimme fight before the WBA strips his title and gives it to Martinez. I bet they just create another belt for Chavez Jr. to be honest. Where does Rubio fall in all this? Wasn't his fight against Lemiuex supposed to be a mandatory?

    Nice sig.

    It's an ok fight that's about it. He's too slow for Donaire.
