Comments Thread For: WBC Confirms: Chavez Jr. in Line To Face Sergio Martinez

[BoxerDood]

Damn, Top Rank must give some good a*s head to get him that high on the rankings. How the f**k do you get ahead of the interim WBC titlist? GTFOH with that. Talk about corruption. And I bet they'll strip Martinez and make Chavez-Zbik for the title if he isn't interested. I mean at least make Chavez fight Zbik first. Don't do it the cheap way...

Martinez better not fight him. He has bigger fish to fry, such as the Mosley-Mora winner, Floyd Mayweather, Felix Sturm, etc.

Wbc just looks plain ****** wth are the ppl in mexico doing chavez has beaten no1 and isnt he suppose to get his ass beat by cotto on dec 4

The belt dont matter to me, its all BS. but WTF, are you kidding me, sergio martinez is a bigger threat for Jr. than cotto? Why

[blank916]

chavez to face martinez at what ??!! Please tell me they aren't talking about boxing. I'd be surprised if he won a minute of any round. Actually to think about it i don't think there's any sport chavez could beat martinez at.

[boxingfan76]

why is jcc jr whom is a solid b-level fighter in line to fight martinez, but manny pacyow whom is boxings pnd for pound # 1 and greatest fighter to ever lace em up in history (according to some)moving to jr mddleweight and facing margarito? whos 1 fight removed from a brutal ko?what is wrong with this picture???????pacman hasnt faced a single fighter since jmm on a winning streak im sorry I dont see the greatness, gayweather I cannot stand but hey at least he beat mosley a 40 yr old the #1 pnd fer pnd totally ducked.manny is fun to watch but this is just ridiculous .hes pnd fer pnd cuz people like him not because he faces the best, in his supposed "unprecedented" winning streak in different wt classes.

That's a little harsh.

I'm no fan.

And he has a incredibly padded record.

But he seems to be reaching the OK status.

For me the loser of Duddy-Chavez was the bum.

So Duddy clear bum.

But Chavez...........I'm on the fence.

I do see Cotto destroying him though.

But Cotto has destroyed OK fighters before.

more like cotto is getting destroyed by an ok fighter,in fact hes already been destroyed by an ok fighter.

i know man *** another puerto rican was going to take a knee against another mexican *** we might not see cotto get busted up again and taking another knee again if foreman(8ko's) bruise cotto face imagine what chavez jr will do LOL

[RichardP]

This should be Chavez Jr to all the top contenders,

Who's a jigga wat?

Are they serious?

Hes not even in the ring's top ten.

ring is not a major label. lmo

ok, that mentions martinez (is he still fighting williams??). I guess the WBC really, REALLY believes chavez is going to beat cotto then huh?

why wouldnt Wbc believe that?? who has cotto even beat impressivley for ANYONE to give him the benefit of the doubt????.im tellin u ,u cotto fans of all the fans waaaaaay reluctant to face reality. cottos last hurrah was the mosley win and hes lucky that fight was over when it was, its safe to say cotto is shot hes taken probably taken the worst beatings this side of Gatti (r.i.p.). cotto is a 5 rnd fighter and hes shot the second he starts taken punishnent he runs then gasses out thats what hes always done, but moreso since margs.
