What do you do when your father is considered one of the greatest boxers of all time?

You follow in his footsteps, naturally, and try to cement your own legacy as a fighter by doing every thing Papa did (and more). That's exactly what Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will attempt to do in his upcoming title fight against Sergio Martinez this Saturday night (Sept. 15, 2012), live on pay-per-view (PPV) from the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Nepotism, be damned.

In his own words (via ESPN.com):

"Having my father with me in training is like having a master at your side. He will correct me and will give me advice, but he lets my trainers do their work. He just wants me to do the things right and is always talking about the importance of good preparation. He's always saying that fights are won in training and, that if are your well prepared, the fights will be easy. We have become more like friends. I know that he is my father and I do respect him, but when we talk boxing now, it's as equals and that has made our relationship much better. He has also cleaned up his act, and that makes him more enjoyable to be around and keeps me more focused on my career. He deserves a lot of credit for the victory I will claim over Martinez on Sept. 15."
