    It appears Froch and Hearn are looking to make this fight. Just wondering if Chavez Jr is such a huge name in world boxing? He would be fairly well known among big boxing fans in the UK, but he definitely wouldn't be known outside the boxing fan circle.
    Is he considered a 'star'/big name in the States?

    nope. but it should be a good fight if it happens. if it goes down theyd be smart to do it at the arena they just had Froch Groves in. just like when Calslappy had fights against lower tier american fighters it still sold.

    He's a bigger name than he is a fighter.

    Not here he isn't.

    He's a non-entity. Maybe stateside.

    No, hes just the most overrated boxer in the sport.

    Froch been trying to desperately get this fight because he knows it will be an easy nights work. Froch the ducker has no shame
