Who should Julio Cesar jr. next opponent be?

Post by sugaryman »

I think Dyah Davis would be a good choice because his dad was a champion also. Let the WBC create a BS :yay: :yay: title for the fight. They could call it "Howie and Julie"s Kids Scrap For a Strap!"

He is too drained at 172. He should fight Kalenga at 190 :lol: :lol: :lol:

tim-robin lihaug or one of the other guys like that ranked in the top 15
of the various ABC's at 168, but he will probably take a pay cut for fighting
guys like that and he would need to actually get in good shape and work
on his defense so when he steps up to the top guys at 168 he can protect
himself. if he could get one convincing win against a ranked guy, any ranked
guy, he could get a shot at abraham or dirrel before he is exposed one last
time and his career is over for good.

He probably has a chance with Abraham who won't fight him but not with Anthony.

Anthony Dirrell would be good. He's good, but didn't exactly set the world on fire against Bika, so Junior would have a chance.

• Andy Lee for his WBO 160lb crown
• The winner of the N’Dam Lemieux bout for the vacant IBF 160lb belt
• Arthur Abraham for his WBO 168lb title
• Rematch Fonfara at 160lbs (he used to be a welterweight!)

Julio isn’t a 175lb-er, so there’s no point in him venturing into that weight class again.

Regardless of whatever anyone says, the Mexican’s career isn’t finished and he’ll probably capture an alphabet world title again before he hangs up his gloves.

There’s no point in deluding ourselves, Chavez Jr. isn’t an elite-level fighter, but he’s good enough and popular enough to continue commanding fairly sizeable paydays against second-tier opposition.
I honestly believe we cannot say that after just one fight!! Sure he got beat up but he was big enough to push Fonfara backwards, landed some decent shots but just didn't have enough power to get the type of respect he needed against what is obviously a Top 5 LHW in Fonfara.

I think he should look to fight a shorter LHW like Pascal and then we can say whether or not he is a LHW. One fight with a Top LHW doesn't tell the full story IMHO.

No, Haymon is not making that mistake again. He will fight only feather fisted or glass chin fighters from now on.

First of all, there is no way Junio can make 160 again, so the first two options mentioned by ferg are unrealistic. Speaking about pushing Fonfara, he was literally doing it with his head like a dumb rhino. Pascal will make him look even dumber.

I agree that Chavez can't make 60 again and dude walks around over 190 so 175 shouldn't be a stretch for him to make the weight and to the last part of your statement, I surely hopes Pascal does make that Bum Julio look dumber.

Chavez should retire, he can't make 160 any longer where he's effective and after that embarrassing outing in his last fight I don't see him recovering from that mentally or physically. Chavez was a over achiever to begin with, he had a lot of perks due to being the son of a boxing legend. He's not going to have those same perks fighting guys who are naturally his size or bigger. Chavez doesn't take boxing seriously enough to compete with those types of fighters. Chavez has embarrassed himself and his family enough, time to hang them up.

Jeff Lacy? People have heard of him.
Arthur Abraham would take the payday it at 170lbs that could be winnable for Jr.
I wonder if a GGG offer to weigh in at 160 and Chavez could weigh in at whatever he liked would be entertained. That would be nice.
