Koki Kameda

I really don't believe half the people that criticise him have even seen him fight, or maybe seen a highlight video, maybe.

Koki Kameda.

You do realize you guys can contact via email his Manager Craig Christian, the email address on Boxrec is legit, I have corresponded with him.

The biggest problem they have is that if Chris fights outside of Indonesia is big risk low reward, and alot of top dudes like JML, Gamboa, even Caballero...(if you can still call him that) Feel that going to out to Indonesia, is not worth it.

John is a national hero and can draw ALOT in Indonesia, that being said why would he come to the states where he is a virtually unknown outside of boxing circles? The time zone alone would impact the Television revenue/viewership.

Also the problem is not John, per say but the WBA, if his mandatory challengers were top tier (or get stripped) he would be taking more risk, but at this point I could see him retiring instead..... He has more than enough money to live off for the rest of his days in his home country. The days where he could/should have fought big fights has come and gone.

I would like to see Salido go to Indonesia beat him like he did JML leaving no room for robbery that would be G. :rofl

Salido could be known as the dude that goes to beat your ass in your own hometown and take your title.
:thumbsup

His career has been a bit of a disappointment in a lot of ways...but how often do you hear the other titlists call him out?

He has come to America, he has fought out of his comfort zone, He HAS fought good fighters.

He lost to Marquez IMO...but got closer than Salido, Juarez, Diaz and Casamayor did.

But people still want to call him overrated..say he only fights in his hometown..rubbish his ability.
Puzzling.
