    I'm currently more impressed with Yuh on film than Gushiken, but my opinion may vary when I've seen more of Yoko. At this stage, I know Yuh defended his titles more times against the same level of competition Yoko was often facing, so I'm content to have him in fourth at the moment. This might just be a case of me having to see more Gushiken though, so don't shoot me down.

    If so, that's an indefendable standpoint.

    Maybe, but variety of opinion is good for the forum, as long as it can be backed up well and isn't just rampant fanboyism or blatant trolling.

    If when I watch more Chang I don't think he's as good as you guys say he is, I'll be the first to speak up. There's still no case for Yuh being above him based on their resumes alone.

    No doubt.

    And Addie would ALWAYS provide stimulus; be in debatable or very good points that may very well be true.

    However; Chang>>>>>Yuh all day. The fight itself would be epic; I'd go Chang, close points.

    Yuh has zero case, absolutely. :good

    Still, the highlight I'm making of him is epic. He put on a dazzling display of talent against Gamez in the rematch.

    The rematch is. One of the most underrated "no mas" moments in boxing. After only 3 rounds Chang lands a brutal body shot on the ropes, Zapata proceeds to walk to his corner and "say get me the hell out of here!".

    Chang would've stopped Yuh in my opinion. Even though Yuh had a lot in his tool box the one thing he lack is power and that's what he would need to give the swarming Chang moments of pause. Chang and Yuh rate at the top as the guys who I was the most impressed with, while Zapata and Gonzalez rate as the guys I was least impressed with. Overall my top 5 would look like such:

    1. Chang (my favorite, terrific swarmer and a hell of a resume.
    2. Zapata (had great height and length for the division)
    3. Yuh (most complete fighter of the bunch)
    4. Gushiken
    5. Gonzalez (my least favorite as far as film is concerned)

    Go to the General Forum, some idiot might find worth in your Boxrec-aided opinions.

    You'd probably pick Lopez to beat Pascual Perez :lol:

    I was scared to say it before because I thought people would just laugh at me, but Yuh could do everything. The way he stayed in the pocket, ducked and rolled his way out of punches was reminiscent of some of the best defensive fighters of all time. His counterpunching was sublime. Darting out of range by a hair, and then firing off a blazing fast three punch combination to the head of his opponent who would be walking into the punches with the momentum of their own attack. I've seen it done frequently during his title reign. When he was at his best, he had the capacity to to be super offensive and land at a very high rate, whilst still remaining elusive and not taking anything big in return. It was pretty damn impressive.

    I don't think Chang stops him. I've seen Yuh go hammer and tong with opponents for 15 high paced rounds and not even look tired, and although he never fought a Chang before, he just had the toughness and stamina that would see him to the lend. Likewise, someone else mentioned it before, I think Yuh would have gone into the fight with a point to prove to his country.

    No way Chang stops Yuh. As you say, Yuh would give it his all.

    Over 15; Chang 9-6

    :good It was really nice to see someone really impressed with Yuh like I am. I think the highlight I'm making of him is going to turn heads to be honest.
