Chris john had 16 title defenses of the wba belt(regular/super) and in those 16 fights he only beat 2 guys who were ranked in the top 10(ring)
1 of those wins was over juan manuel marquez. i personally had marquez winning this fight clearly.
the other win was over Hiroyuki Enoki.
he had another win over rocky juarez who was ranked in the top 10 in their 2nd fight but only because the judges in the first fight gave him a gift draw even though john clearly won so i personally dont count this since juarez's ranking was based on terrible judging.
he lost to vetyka so he was essentially 1-2 in my mind against top 10 fighters. he then retired and was inducted into the hall of fame...really?
i thought he was much better than this but he was basically a fraud who built his career off of robbing a great fighter, but before and after that he was wilder-esque in his opponent selection. what do you think of him? hall of fame worthy?
