Chavez Jr. VS Rubio reportedly done for Feb. 4th

[Rantcatrat]

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

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

Haha, Titofan will your hating ever end??

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.
