    Where does Chris John belong in the P4P rankings? Did his draw to Rocky Juarez set him back? What if he wins the rematch?

    top10

    His team said he was about 70% against Juarez. And they said this before the fight. And he still won.

    If i remember correctly they said "If this was a tougher opponent we would have pulled out of the fight". I still had John winning 8 rounds to 4.

    Juarez was coming off a KO win of Barrios, was fighting in front of his hometown crowd, and had a hometown ref.

    Definetely top 20 and not top 10

    and I dont see how the draw hurts his P4P ranking when everyone who knows how to score a fight knew he was robbed.

    The man beat Juan Manuel Marquez. He is 42-0-2 and out of his only two draws one was to Rojas due to a clash of heads. He defeated Rojas in the rematch. Who are the other fighters you would rank over him. Pacman sure after that who?

    It was daylight Robbery that decision, from the little i've seen of him, (highlights of the marquez fight and Juarez fight) he's too limited to be in the top 10 rankings at the moment. Has good movement and a wonderful jab, but apart from that, not much else, and If Juarez knocked him pillar to post in the last 2 rounds, think what some1 with a little more pop could do, it almost seemed like he didnt wanna be in there when the pressure was on.

    Where do you rank Marquez a man whom John defeated?

    I have him just cracking my top 10 list. People seem to forget that he got robbed in Houston while having the flu. He won it while he was sick (though the robbery may be justifiable because of his fight w/ the Dynamite-I had him winning by a point)

    Top 15, Marquez was robbed....

    But he was also robbed with that "draw" that Juarez walked away with

    Talent/skill wise he's easily top 10 in my book, an excellent underated fighter who I think can be a HOF'er and crack the top 10 P4P, as long as he keeps fighting out of his comfort zone, or he'll just be looked at as the "typical overprotected, padded record having Thai fighter"

    I like him though, one of my top 20 fav. Fghters
