He had no amateur career, I think his trajectory is understandable.
read my post on Vazquez Jr., that excuse can only go so far
Chavez Jr. is only 24 years old though and he's only just starting to refine his game. It's not like he's 32 and still fighting bums. To me, the number of fights he has had is less important and less indicative of his potential as a fighter than his age and development.
