I understand that JCC Jr. doesn't have an amateur background, but I still think they are developing him too slowly. After 30 fights, he should have at least been fighting respected journeyman and/or gatekeepers. He doesn't seem to be moving up the ladder in competition, so it is hard to determine how good or he is. I mean if he ended his career right now, you would just have to shrug your shoulders , because he hasn't done anything. Now he has plenty of time to do something in his career, but I just can't help but think that when he finally moves up to face an elite fighter, like Sergio Martinez, he is going to get hammered and just quit the sport. Maybe this is what JCC Jr. wants. Let's be honest he is headlining PPV's, making good money fighting in boxing matches that are little more than exhibitions. The draw isn't "how good is JCC Jr." its "come see the undefeated son of the legend." Most people have to step up their competition level or they wouldn't be able to sell tickets, but Juniors doesn't have a problem putting butts in seats so if he doesn't have the desire to truly be a champion there is no reason for him to challenge himself. I don't think he has that desire to be the best.
