    Chris John is Ready For The Superstar Level

    LOS ANGELES - Long regarded as one of boxing's most underrated champions, WBA featherweight champion Chris John showed the world just what he can do on the sport's biggest stage when he battled Rocky Juarez over 12 exciting rounds in his United States debut on HBO this past February. [details]

      He should be able to get a "fair" fight in L.A.

        The fight wit Rocky was pretty good, and John shoulda won. If he can do it again, he should raise his stock a lil bit, even tho Rocky is basically a journeyman now.

          Chris John proved himself in my eyes with his fight against Juarez.. Before that I heard of John but never really gave a s#$%. Definitely keeping an eye out on his next fight.

              cj got real guts going to his opponent's hometown for his first US fyt. crowd pressure was too much, even a short hold on rocky's head automatically receives a 'boo' from the crowd. john must have more confidence now to take the fyt to juarez....

                john should battle luevano next if he goes past juarez. john is tall for a featherwt he can move up to SFW(130). linares and soto will be there waiting to provide him litmus tests. cj should take this career path if he wants to be another Asian great like pacquaio.

                  Then you didn't see the Marquez vs Chris John fight, clear robbery. Other than the ridiculous point deductions I had a hard time finding a round to give to John, yet the judges had John winning pretty much every round.

                  Even when they were announcing the scores you could see how biased everyone was in favor of John, they had his entire team and promoters up there congratulating him even before the scores were given out.
