The ATGs thread Pt 5 Chris John Chris John should be appreciated more than he is, in my opinion. Read on... 1. It was Chris Johns 32nd fight when he won the FW WBA int world title and his next fight was his first defence of the WBA FW title Consider before John won his world title he had already beaten former champ Ratanachai Sor Vorapin 2. John made 18 title defences over his reign and was a winner of 16 world title fights, 3 draws 3. Johns FW reign was impressive Look at who John beat This content is protected former WBA FW champ This content is protected owner of the WBA super and IBF FW titles when John beat Marquez, who went on to win various other titles This content is protected former SBW champ This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected John won the WBA INT FW title when he beat O Leon. From there John went on to make an impressive amount of FW title defences where he beat some impressive fighters including the great J M Marquez along the way, whos career went on in impressive fashion. John also showed no problem with taking his title on the road and defending in Australia, America, Japan, Singapore and in those title fights he successfully defended on foreign ground 9 times proving himself an ATG ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Feel free to view these other ATG Tribute Threads The ATGs Tribute thread Pt 1 Sven Ottke, This content is protected The ATGs Tribute thread Pt 2 Henry Maske, This content is protected followThe ATGs Tribute thread Pt 3 Fabrice Tiozzo, This content is protected The ATGs Tribute thread.

Typical biased hometown decision with two bogus point deductions for borderline low-blows for good measure.:-( Had that fight been scored correctly this thread would not even exist.
Do you mean like when Khan was deducted 2 points and had someone in the crowd mix with the judges and then celebrate with the winner?
i ordered the john v gainer fight at the time to see what john was like / never saw the marquez fight but from memory boxing news said it was close. john was a fast handed competent fighter as gainer was a talent and marquez an atg. must be a legend in his country.
He beat JMM at his own game :smoke Chris John could have been the GOAT of his division if he managed to reach 50-0 & 20 title defenses (he did 18 title defenses)
People who say John v Marquez was a robbery I very much doubt watched the fight. It was as clear a victory for John as Bradley's was over Marquez. I think these people are just bandwagon jumpers who claim something is a robbery because Marquez said it was.
And not to mention was fighting someone who was juiced up to the gills in their backgarden. And still more people thought Khan won than thought Cheaterson did.
True, and even after it should've been changed to an NC when Peterson admitted he was on the sauce for the fight.
Not yet. I was banned for a month for pointing out the the UK currently has more world champions than any other nation. Apparently, this gets a lot of Americans knickers in a twist and it's nationalistic trolling now the answer to the most world champions is not America. I will check them out shortly though.
It might just be the other way around. Most people have never seen the fight and just go by boxrec. Check my history I've posted links to that fight plenty of times to make my point about the robbery and I stand by it.:deal Tell me again how the point deductions for questionable low blows were anything but biased bull****.:huh
