Fought Jeff Horn a couple of months ago at and beat the crap outta him, which was fun to watch; Lacks the natural pop and drilled-in ability of his old man, and is old at 26 - but he's being managed by OG Zoo's old team so will get a shot at a belt if he doesn't get beat in the interim.
Tim looks decent. Obviously not nearly as good as his ole man, but he isn't sucky like a lot of son of legends are. Could perhaps be a player at 154.
If sons of legends really wanted to make a serious career in the sport their best bet would be to fight under a pseudonym and don't let anybody know their familial relations. Of course this information would eventually leak out but not when a guy is just starting out. Most of these guys are pretty bad anyway but i don't buy this nonsense of it being the " pressure of expectations" being too high. If anything there is less pressure. These guys always get paid more for having to do less based upon their last name alone. Chavez Jr. was never going to be a legend himself but if he didn't that last name he never would have made millions. Without the luxury of being "the son of a legend" he would have been forced to take the sport more seriously. Instead he was extremely lazy and put in minimal effort. I mean why would he really care? People were buying tickets all the same.
Slightly off topic, but whos the best son of a "legend"? The choices are pretty poor, id guess chavez and eubanks are up there
I'd say Cory Spinks as a legitimate welterweight champion must be close. If Eubank and Vasquez count, then so does Leon
Well Tszyu sparked out a hand-picked bum in 1 round, now apparently gets a shot at WBO interim jnr middle Patrick Teixeira for the strap. Tszyu lands HUGE Round 1 KO! | Fox Sports Videos
