Who wins?

 

Before I made this thread I thought that Segura would easily win. However when I was looking at Wonjongkam's record, I realised how impressive it is. However I still think he may be getting a little long in the tooth now and Segura is somewhat of a demon. I like Segura in this and I think he'd become the 1st person to stop the Thai since 1996.

 

Agreed. I think he should fight Gonzalzez, Hernan Marquez, Wonjongkam (at Flyweight) and Hugo Fidel Cazares (at Junior banty) before moving to the talent rich bantamweight division (he's big enough) where prodigious talents such as Donaire, Mares, Agbeko, Moreno, Darchinyan etc reside

 

What about him?

 

I think Segura and Wonjongkam would both be keen for it, problem would be which country they fight in.
