Something people seem to ignore about JCC Jr. is the fact that he was thrown in with the lions since day #1. JCC Jr has no typical 100+ amateur career, no Jr. Olympics experience, no Olympic experience, no golden glove experience, etc. Nothing. He laced the gloves on and thrown in the ring with professionals. JCC Jr. is pretty much an amateur with 41 fights getting in the ring with guys who have 2 or 3 times more experience than him. Still, people just don't seem to like him. If he didn't have the name "Julio Cesar Chavez Jr." maybe people would not see him as that bad. JCC Sr. went through a similar path and achieved admirable achievements and HOF status. Let's see how it goes with jr.

If, by any chance, he did beat Cotto, would people give him credit or think that Cotto was no good, damaged goods, too old, past his prime, etc?
