How Good is Featherweight Champ Chris John?

[RAESAAD]

who did hatton get beat by his OWN weight class? no wait he stepped for the 2nd time in his career to fight at welter.

OK technicality......I think you get my drift. Floyd fought at 140 for a while too.......

And could easily make the weight if he wanted to.

Unless he is the one boxer in the world who can't drop 7 pounds to make weight from his inbetween fight weights.

i do lol but Chris John is underated mostly because pretty much no one has actually seen him fight. I saw him fight live not against Marquez but much earlier in his career and watched him on TV in indonesia for the marquez fight hes a damn good champ. Marquez admitted it he belived he had won 5 rounds to 7 but marquez also go deducted two points so it would be a draw unless John won the rounds that Marquez low blowed him in (which he did) in which case it would be 5 to 7 get me?

Hey I'm no Floyd fan but Hatton needed him more than he needed Hatton. And he had just fought at 154 or 150 should I say. I was just saying......John is as good as they were. People are talking about him fighting Pac or JMM well I think he'd meet the same fate Hatton and Kessler did when they had a 40-0 type padded record. Couple names here and there but in a nutshell a blown up record.

Kessler's record wasn't padded; he had pretty much cleaned out 168 prior to Calzaghe and got beaten by a better man. Kessler is what he was before Cal: a very good fighter. Joe just might be a great one.

As to John, I thought he lost to JMM but he did well if you ignore arguments over the decision. Like Cal-Kess, losing to JMM doesn't mean John is a bad fighter. JMM is just a very good one.
