Another excuse to defend JCC Jr's coddling: SHOT DOWN!!

[MMASUX]

Mayorga showed he's still got a good fight or two left in him, and that's why he will not be facing Chavez jr. He would destroy Chavez jr.

i already brought up the Vazquez Jr point up before with the retard formerly known as milmascaras lol, but in all fairness Vazquez is taking a gimme tonight, Arce has been through a hell of a lot of wars, been hot and cold lately and is now jumping up 2 divisions to face the younger and stronger Vazquez, it's sort of an uphill battle and i wasn't too pleased when i heard this fight was being made, would have rather had Arce just beat the shit out of Morel (cause damn i can't stand the fucker), and have Vazquez fight Nishioka

Problem with Cotto fighting Chavez Jr. is the height and weight. Cotto looks rather small in every fight at 154. He isn't going to be able to go to 160 well. And if he did, he would be giving up quite a bit of weight against Chavez Jr. on the night of the fight.

Cotto-skills to take out Chavez Jr? Hell yes. Size? Not so much.

Still favor Cotto, but the size difference gives Chavez a chance.

I remember how Chavez Sr., with his padded record built on bums, was exposed by Rosario, LaPorte, etc...

Yeah really, I'm not getting this line of thinking at all. Fighters get brought along and the pace they can more or less handle. There isn't some RIGHT number of fights.

Only morons look at records alone and come to conclusions. Serious fans look at the men who were fought and where those men were in their careers.

Kostya Tzsyu fought a still dangerous LaPorte in his FOURTH fight and he was ready to. Chavez didn't fight a top guy until who? Anzibache Martinez, right? Then in the next 2/12 years he ripped through Roger Mayweather, Jeff Bumphus, Lockridge, LaPorte, Cabrera, Rosario, Nicky Perez and it was off to the races. How in hell can someone complain?

Now is JCC Jr anything more than a prospect at this point? Nope. Is it time for more serious challenges? Probably.

Arce is shopworn and undersized. He's an opponent for Vasquez.

Regardless of JCC Senior's record there's nothing fake about his actual accomplishments.

How can he be both coddled and matched up with Cotto? There's still a window on him showing what his potential is.

Never said Chavez didn't end up being a great fighter.


Merely stating the fact that the first half of his outlandish record was based solely on BUMS. And his coddled son is following exactly in his footsteps.
