Chauncy Welliver

So the 2 guys that were lacking in opposition were the ones making their pro-debuts and got KO'd in 1 round? :rofl A guy with 45 pro fights picking on guys making pro debuts.....and also those 2 guys never boxed since. What did he do, drag them off the street. Wow what class and skill Chauncy has! I guess the combined record of 112-74-11 of the remaining 11 fights were all real tough opposition compared to those pro-debuters.

"Whether or not he can beat a contender remains to be seen"

Why don't he stop feeding off bums and find out? Kevin Johnson called him out, and Welliver mysteriously disappeared. KJ is no serious threat, so what happened, why no response?

 

He has given many of the top fighters hell in sparring.

 

Say what you want about his former weight, but he has really turned himself around in the gym and works harder than most heavyweights I know. Aside from that, he has no problems whatsoever going the 12 round distance as he has proven many times, thus his conditioning is not an issue.

 

Charles, why do you think he has so much trouble fighting a credible opponent? He certainly calls them out. You'd think that a guy ranked #8 in the WBO and 10th or 11th in another alphabet would find a top 20 opponent willing to fight him.

 

diehard my friend, it all comes down to too much risk for too little reward in my honest opinion. Chauncy is a dangerous fight for many heavyweights out there, and his name value is still not where it needs to be in order to secure these fights that he has been asking for. But that will all change quickly as he has a great team behind him and they are working night and day on putting him on the right path toward the big fights.

 

I was thinking that Chauncy's WBO #8 ranking, his WBC #10 ranking, plus his never having beaten a top 20 opponent, and a guy who has little power, would increase the reward and minimise the risk for some of the possible elite opponents. Now they would be facing a guy who could enhance their ranking. I'd like to see him face Ray Austin, who's top 5 in the WBC.

 

The secret is, it has nothing to do with him dieting and training properly at all. The fact of the matter is - and few people know this - he actually lives in a separate parallel universe to the rest of us. This parallel universe works in conjunction with our own and means that everytime James Toney gets fatter, Welliver loses weight out of the blue without lifting a muscle.

This would also explain why his opposition has been so poor. We can see into this parallel universe - hence we can see him - but these two seperate entities cannot interact with each other. Hence the top ranked heavyweight boxers in our universe can't enter his universe to step in the ring with him, and he can't enter ours. He has only been able to fight people in his own universe, and the pickings are slim to say the least.

 

Funny how people all keep ignoring the fact KJ called him out Jan 5, and as he put it "Chauncy rather swim back to NZ that fight me". Kevin "Safety Pin" Johnson, who couldn't even put away Julius Long...has Welliver ducking for cover

Welliver is only ranked because he holds some regional WBC trinket and flies around to WBC event kissing ass. He wouldn't beat any other young ranked contender (e.g. Helenius, Pianeta, Dimitrenko, Boytsov, Fury).

Here's an idea, match him up with Deontay Wilder

 

Maybe, but match him up with those guys Simply the Best. That's all I'm asking. He's WBO #8, not just WBC. Johnson never offered to fight him, just tried to be funny. Although the Johnson who fought Long would have been beaten by Chauncy.

 

Don't ask me, ask his garage band manager and team to make it happen. They complain about not getting a top 20 contender, well why not settle for a top 100 contender for now, since Welliver has never beaten one?

While he may have the ranking, he has nowhere near the class and skill to justify that ranking. At his age, he should be learning and polishing his skills and moving up against contenders, not finally figuring out how to train and losing the 50 lbs he should've never had the first place and getting empty wins against nobodies.

 

Kevin Johnson never offered the fight. period.

 

Because you say so? Where's the source? So you're saying HE ducked Welliver to look like **** against Julius Long? Why then did Welliver disappear from the card? Nobody wants to answer that do they? Why not public response to KJ's open letter?

 

Source is that I know Chauncy personally and we have discussed it. Welliver and several other fighters were taken off the card due to lack of funds or some such failure on the part of the promoter.

 

So no independent source can confirm what you say? Yeah, thought as much.

Yeah there was enough garbage fights on that card already, no need for Welliver to take it to the next level. I guess they rather spend that money on the bad cover bands and hookers dancing around.
