In defense of Chavez Jr., the Rubio win is a good win. I hate that he didn't take the post-fight drug tests because given his history in failing a drug test, it taints this win. However, if we give him the benefit of the doubt, a win over Rubio is arguably better thany any win Andy Lee or Dmitry Pirog have at this point. Right? This win makes Chavez Jr. a legitimate top ten middleweight. There can be no debate about it. Sergio Martinez, Gennady Golovkin and Dmitry Pirog would beat him. Felix Sturm probably has too much boxing ability for Chavez Jr. Sturm is now fighting Chavez Jr.'s leftovers in Zbik after Zbik turned down a fight with Proksa. I could see Chavez Jr. beating Lee and maybe Geale, not saying it would go that way, but I can see it. He may be too big for Proksa who is a smaller middleweight.
