Fighting once a year and taking on a guy who has 38 wins with 1 ko? http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=57485&cat=boxer
Chris John is a very talented fighter. It a shame his career has never really kicked off. He is just as much to blame as his management.
He fought Juan Manuel Marquez and fought rocky juarez in his hometown, hes also fought an undefeated contender Hiroyuki Enoki in his hometown. Fair enough the fight against marquez was fairly controversial but you could still make a case for John winning that legitimately. Hes not as protected as some people think
Yeah, I just saw the Marquez fight, and I have no problem with John winning that. He's an excellent boxer, but yeah... he needs to do better than fighting Fernando Saucedo (who?). There are lots of good fights that can be made for him in that weight class. Against Celestino Caballero, perhaps?
Nice avatar. Is that Manny's grimace from 24/7, when he's comparing Mayweather's career to that of his own?
