I like Lee he has some good boxing skills . Best fighter JCC Jnr has fought by a long margin,
Hope Lee can kick his pampered ass.
I'm not saying Chavez is no good... I'm just saying he's not as good as his bloated record would indicate. Give me a 25-1 or 30-2 fighter who's faced the best competition out there... instead of a coddled 45-0-1 fighter, who's being spoon-fed carefully picked opponents..... any day of the week.
If he's technically an amateur, he shouldn't have a 45-0-1 record. It's misleading. It's insulting to those boxers who had an extensive amateur career and then turned pro. You don't see anybody adding their amateur victories to their pro record do you? It's like comparing apples and oranges. And really..... if he didn't have the Chavez last name, he would've never been allowed to amass such a pro record without fighting anyone with a pulse.
Then him beating pros who have 2 or 3 times experience should not be that bad, don't you think? Here we have an unexperienced young guy beating the well-experienced ones. I find it a bit silly too to have him headline PPV events but hey, he has the Chavez last name and that seems to sell unfortunately.

Fascinating. It's always interesting to find out how boxing records are handled in other parts of the boxing world. Here in Puerto Rico, and very likely in other boxing rich places like Philly and other places along the eastern seaboard, you gotta have the quality opponents to go along with the gaudy record. Otherwise, it don't mean shit.
Tito, I disagree with VD all the time, but I have to admit, Chavez is materializing into a real fighter. Consdering he's already beat Rubio and Zbik (close fight), if he beats Lee, he has better wins than anyone at middleweight other than Sturm and Martinez. Fine, it's a weak division, I don't necessarily agree with it, but for the sake of argument, let's say it is. Still, Chavez Jr. is doing what he can in his division. It's tough to be too upset with that.
