    WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has made some strides in improvement since trainer Freddie Roach took over his training in 2010. Since then, Chavez Jr. has beaten John Duddy, Billy Lyell, Sebastian Zbik, Peter Manfredo Jr. and Marco Antonio Rubio.

    None of those guys were really dangerous punchers and most of them were a lot smaller than Chavez Jr. by the time he stepped into the ring. I think Chavez Jr. could be about as good as he’s going to get as a fighter and from here on out the best I can see is Chavez Jr. in a holding pattern where he fights no better or no worse. He seems to lack some of the needed ingredients for him to get to another level.
    Here is what I see missing from Chavez Jr’s game:

    •Power
    •Foot speed
    •Boxing intelligence
    •An effective and consistent jab
    •Defense
    •Lack of a good outside game

    No he can improve, anybody really can. Just have to motivate yourself, some people don't have god given talents. They just have to push themselves to get better. Which I can see him doing.
