    Seriously, yet again he's going to defend his belt against another unkown. Does he not have mandatory defenses? How is he allowed to keep fighting no-names in his hometown without being stripped at some point??

    Chris John is scheduled to defend against a former world title challenger in Singapore, which is not his home country. Chris's last six fights include Australia, Japan and USA (x2), Yordan-who is not an unknown and another native Indonesian, in Indonesia and Juarez twice, both in Juarez's own home country, the rematch after being robbed blind in the first with a draw. Juarez, to those who actually follow that division, is also not an unknown by any stretch. Meanwhile, it's still okay for Americans to only fight in their own country and John simply can't fight in enough of them for it to actually count.

    Floyd only fights in U.S.A. Johns has fought everywhere.It's those Japanese that you should blast at for fighting unknowns in Japan. But then again you're just a Johns HATER.Terimah Kasi..Bagus! Unity for all the islands.Austronesian power!

    So, Real, exactly how many towns do you think Chris John has a home in? Does he have quintuple citizenship? Do you think people don't know world title challengers and men who've fought on HBO and ESPN? How did you come to these conclusions?

    Ok, i misused the word home town, true he fights all over SE asia, but no way in hell can you make the argument that John is fighting stiff competition. Juarez and Yordan?? Really? they are no where near the elite level of the division and isn't John supposed to be fighting the elite?? The man is 46-0 and has yet to step up for a real signature win against a real elite fighter. Beat Marquez is 06, great win, but has done nothing to build on that, instead chooses to fight mediocre opposition.

    To the dumbass saying Mayweather only fights in USA....please tell me you are joking. What a ******ed comparison.

    He ran away from Gamboa and the Cuban was the interim WBA Champion, they offered a fight three times and they never heard from him the guy is a fraud...
