By Jake Donovan - It began as a harmless sideshow, or so thought many in the boxing public, when Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. first turned pro a little over five years ago. But a lot has changed between then and now. [details]

julio jr is one boxer who gradually faded before reaching stardom. -
what if he comes in on Saturday and knocks vanda out? It's known that doctors didn't want him to fight the first time due to him being sick but he still went out and fought. Chavez doesn't even have an amateur career he's still learning. Writers like this dufous are really out of things to write about. how many great fighters do we have today that had early losses in their careers? pacquiao, castillo, margarito, mijares, hopkins, wright....just to name a few. People are expecting to much out of chavez. he's barely in his 20, no amateur career and this writer is acting like chavez is this failure when he's yet to even get started. It's amazing how people hate you when your making money, i guess people hate that chavez is his dad and that he's known and making money. Get over it! It's like hating Michael Jordan son because he's not as good as his dad but oh wait his son is not making money so it's OK.Originally posted by v.cassiusali@ya View PostComment

Have any of the fighters mentioned above lost or have come close to losing to journeymen and cannon fodder when they were being highly touted about with such great promise?Originally posted by -ROGELIO- View Post
I suppose I can only speak for myself and a few people I've talked to, but people aren't hating on Chavez Jr. because he's making money, they are fed up with sub par performances against competition he should run over when all he's facing is tomato cans time and time again. He's in the professional ranks where people pay money to see him fight, who wants a poor show? when your own raza is booing you (and your papi) after a performance the other guy won (this happened on two separate occasions) that pretty much gives a strong impression that a famous name will give you in some cases unfair advantages.
Yes, he doesn't have an amateur background all the more reason why I think he shouldn't have been rushed into the pro's. If anybody expected too much of him it was probably his father and handlers. I truly empathize with Chavez Jr. it would just break my heart to see him get knocked out by a club fighter, when going for broke and facing a credible opponent that will elevate your stock considerably would be more understanding.
As you well know the Boxing game is harsh, but the critics are often the most harsh. Chavez Sr. was a born fighter, an enigma in his country that had an almost religious bond with his fans. I think Chavez Jr. will always have to deal with the stigma of being the son of that legend, and living up to his father's expectations as well as the fans is something I believe he's going to get tired of doing. Some fighter's are born with that sense of destiny, in my opinion Chavez Jr. isn't one of them.Comment
