Is Chavez Jr. Officially An Over Hype Prospect?

He was officially an overhyped prospect when he lost to Carlos Molina (who) 3 years ago and the judges saved his ass.

Now I'm not a malevolent f* like those Khan haters. Jr. will lose sooner or later, but he'll put his big heart in every fight, win or lose, therefore I definitely respect the guy.

 

He has many issues since his debut:no amateur experience,the weight,he turned pro at 130 and fought last time at 156,where the hell is he gonna stop,he has been increasing his weight constantly,he is young,he can learn.About the last fight,Chavez sr. said he was sick and that affected his performance and you can see it,I believe him,he wa sick.As for the fight I scored it a draw but he will have the chance to redeem him self in the remaych.Let's see what happens

 

I agree hope he does better.

 

Give it a little more time,at least he didn't get KTFO:yep :good

 

I think he is a brave fighter with a big heart just shy of real world class but can not be easy trying to live up to dad

 

i love watching the guy. hope he could get some belt someday. he ain't gonna be as great as his dad, though.

he's being hyped a bit.. but at least he did not get KTFO in 54 seconds:yep

 

The kid ain't gonna be his father,no chance he reaches that fame so just give him time.He has to look good against Vanda now

 

I think his name brings a big toll on his reputation. We definitely have high standards for him. A lot of people want to compare him to his dad, which he will never be like. At 23 a lot of fighters have accomplished what he hasnt yet. He gets a break because he had no amatuer career, but he gets criticized for having a record like that with no notable fights.
