Chauncy Welliver v Raphael Zumbano Love - June 16

Chauncy was on OTR Boxing show, and he mentioned that he was going to have a big fight next, over in New Zealand. This is rubbish, the record looks okay but Zumbano offers no threat at all.

Chauncy, I know you read these forums. We've had decent chats with eachother about game plans etc, but listen to me pal, you need to fight someone with a little bit of name recognition. If you do have to take a lower level fight, don't flap your mouth saying you have something big lined up, it feels like you're taking people around in circles. You're a great guy, but you're pissing your career against the wall here. If you want success go and ****ing get it. Now or never.

 

Chauncy maintains he's got Seth Mitchell committed provided Mitchell beats Witherspoon, and most people see him putting Chazz to sleep.

Some of these belts are absolute bull**** as you've stated.

 

Chauncy keeps fighting top competition :yep:!:

 

I said to him, that he should look at Britain. There's Sprott yeah, the man I suggested was Sam Sexton.

Chauncy won't get any better by fighting C class fighters at this point, he's fought over 50 of them. He probably learned more in his fight with Solis than he has in those 50 wins.

He's not young either, he needs to dare himself, and put his foot on the damn throttle. I'll tell him that, or MesserStick or whoever the hell else. atsch

 

Sprott is a very Good Call indeed :good

 

Its hard to fight top guy when nobody will fight you!

Chancey is a good guy and is just staying busy all the time until somebody will be forced to fight him.

Hope the mitchell fight happens tho

 

According to BR this guy is top100 (just), so if he wins it would be his biggest victory on paper. :!:

 

Love is a can with a horribly padded record. Easy one for Welliver.

 

Money is always a factor as well Z. And while I agree Sprott would be a career defining win for Chauncey, I disagree that Gavern, McNuggett, Bydenko or Gavern are better wins than Zumbano, Tuaoso, Mensah or whichever Clevel opponent Chuancey or Arreola, or Boystov has beaten.

A Clevel guy is just that. Can't quite crack it at the higher level. Gavern and Bydenko have beaten other Clevel guys, but have lost to every Blevel guy they fought, just like Zumbano.

The difference between guys like Zumbano or Gavern or Pucheta and other Clevel guys like Olukun is that some get used more than others for sparring, are more agreeable to take fights on short notice, for less money. More willing to travel....I guess that's the definition of journeyman.

Some journeymen just refuse to accept that lot in life, while others readily embrace it, and every now and then, that active tough journeyman will catch a break and get a decision, or catch a pretender on cruise and KO him. Just look at Dingaling Man. He's a solid tough journeyman. He finds a niche with Universum, and he gets some decent fights. He beats Gomez in a fight most thought he lost, but some could find a way to give it to him. He jumps up the rankings to like #24 in the world with the SD win. Suddenly, he's one of the more prized journeyman, getting 3 consecutive paydays for that win.
Would a win over Ding be better for Chauncey. Likely no, considering he's been licked 3 times consecutive following his surprise win.

So my main beef with other fightfans is their reluctance to call out their own favs who have similar LOC, yet somehow are hoisted into mainstream as some sort or worldbeaters....Arreola for instance. And we all know Chauncey has called out Mitchell, Arreola, the K2, Fury etc......let's see who these guys are fighting before we criticize Chauncey for not getting them in his next fight.:-(
