Rubio will KO Chavez jr....

 

Chavez might wanna throw that title in the trash

 

Yep ::

I wouldn't say Chavez is better than Lemieux but, he's a bit more proven durability wise when it comes to rounds in the bank.

However he won't be laughing when Rubio hits him.

 

Sergio Martinez Confirms: Chavez must face me next!

I thought Rubio was his mandatory but apparently not. From what I understand Jr has 1 fight then he MUST fight Martinez. :goodnews:


Jr is going to sleep if this fight happens.

 

I really have zero interest in Martinez. He is already 36 years old and is just looking to get a couple more paydays before calling it a career. He sees a name and an opportunity to do this in Chavez. It would be a complete mismatch and is unnecessary.

 

I'm confident Team Jr. will find a way to avoid that fight happening.

 

He cant avoid it if Martinez is mandatory correct?

 

They can either bribe the wbc or throw the belt in the garbage.

 

You obviously don't know the history between the WBC belt and Martinez-Chavez jr.

 

Rubio will get step-aside money. He's way too dangerous to be an opponent for that no-talent fraud, Chavez Jr.

 

rubio is terrible. i'd pick chavez to beat him convincingly.

 

That's quite presumptuous of you. I think everyone here knows Martinez was perhaps unjustly stripped of the belt. I say 'perhaps' because of the fact that he keeps trying to fight at weights under 160.

With that said, who gives a rats ass about the belt? Martinez is 36 years old. You think he really cares about the belt? He's just trying to make some money before he retires which is why he's calling out every name fighter including Chavez. He's just using the belt as an excuse as to why they should fight.

He's looking for a payday. Plain and simple.

 

Agreed. He beat an overhyped Lemeiux and now everyone thinks he is some kind of world beater.

Chavez should take the fight.

 

Just goes to show the sorry state of the MW division. Rubio is a guy who quit against Pavlik, now he's some murderous punching top contender to these clowns.

 

He's no world beater but is still more dangerous than anybody Jr. has fought so far.

 

Yeah hes looking for money and Chavez is a money fight. When he was stripped of the title the WBC said that the winner of Chavez jr-Zbik had to fight Martinez next. Then of course Arum and Suliman know hes too much of a risk and Chavez is awarded a voluntary defence, before he either gets another 1 or 5 or just throws the belt in the trash.

 

he also got rendered unconsious in a few seconds via left hook from kofi jantuah. and that was at 154.

 

I forgot about that one.

 

Rubio is a big puncher and Chavez Jr can be hit pretty easily. The way Zbik was getting to him early in the fight, I thought Chavez was going to get stopped. But his body work and toughness earned him the win.

Chavez won't burn his gas like Lemieux did so I don't see Rubio weathering a storm and stopping Chavez late. However, he may not have to weather any storm. He starts landing some big shots on Chavez and Chavez might go down.

That said, the pick is Chavez over Rubio and he should win pretty easily. Rubio isn't that good, he just happened to beat a fighter better than him in Lemieux.

Personally, I am still pretty big on Lemieux and expect him to do very well in the future if he isn't broken by his first loss like some guys are.

 

As REED Types, Sergio Martinez is @ WORST the 3rd BEST Fighter in the World Lb for Lb, yet YOU have "Zero Interest" in Him???...




REED:mj:

 

It's not hard to come up with more than 2 guys who could be rated above Martinez p4p pretty easily...for example....floyd, pacq, donaire, klitschko, klitschko...
then Ward...maybe Huck...maybe some cubans...etc

 

I'd go with Rubio here. Lemieux would probably beat Chavez Jr to be honest.

 

Like a Man Stranded in the Ocean, w/a Life Preserver 5 feet From Him, U're REACHING...

Pac & Floyd for Certain, but Given Floyd's INACTIVITY, is he Still Rated???...Martinez has a BETTER Resume than Donaire, Either Klit (Due to the SHITTY Collective State of the Heavyweight Division), Huck (Did U SERIOUSLY Place THIS Guy into the Discussion???) or ANY of the Cubans...Ward's Climbing Fast but he's NOT Quite There yet...



REED:egypt:

 

A very good possibility. We know Jr.'s chin aint glass, but his defense is lacking and he's been in mostly against weak punchers who are smaller guys. If he got clocked like Rubio did against Lemieux early on?

We don't for sure but i'll hazard a guess that Junior won't laugh and tell him to bring it on.

 

the fucked up part is that Rubio deserves his tittle shot. He is not asking for a favor here.

Funny thing is Chavez is likely to face Manfredo Jr. next. I just dont' see Rubio as a bigger threat than Manfredo jr.

I don't see why Arum is avoiding Rubio like he is a world beater.

 

I really like the Dzinziruk win, albeit a bit out of his weight class, but the fact is that Martinez is rarely dominant like you expect a p4p top guy to be. It just so happens he is in a great run over the past couple of years. My point wasn't that he is a top 3 guy or not, just that you can put a lot of guys ahead of him quite easily. And you can.

Donaire's resume is probably better than Martinez's when you take into account no shit performances in the past decade.

 

rubio is better than manfredo jr. hits harder and is tougher.

 

Rubio isn't that good, but Chavez Jr is worse.

 

Chavez is terrible - did you see how easy he was for Zbik to hit? He has no defense. No foot-work. His technique is crap. He's not athletic in the least. All he did against Zbik was leverage his ridiculous size advantage by putting his head down and hitting Zbik in the body like he was working the heavy-bag.

He looked worse than ever .... it's no coincidence that it was so now given that he was finally fighting a world class opponent. The only reason he didn't lose a lop-sided decision in that fight is that he out-weighed his man by 20 pounds.

As mediocre as Rubi may be, Chavez is in a whole other arena of ineptness. I really think a lot of people here fail to realize just how terrible Chavez is. And for the time being anyways, Roach has actually set him back - he doesn't trust himself in the ring and has no idea what he's doing, even as he does it.

He's awful and if he fights anyone who hits as hard as Rubio, and who he doesn't out-weigh by 20 pounds on fight-night, he will lose miserably, which is why this will not happen anytime soon.
