    I know how the super champion works. Regardless. This fight was for John's title. You can whittle that down to saying "in the eyes of all the boxing guru's, theoretically Marquez was the real champion because he didn't lose the belt in the ring, John was a paper champion", etc etc. Say whatever. The fact remains. Marquez was the challenger for Chris John's WBA World belt in Indonesia.
    i don't remember john taking the title from marquez but now you are gonna judge a fight giving the fake champion the benefit of the doubt over the real champion? twisted.

      He holds a clear victory over a prime Juan Manuel Marquez. That alone pisses all over Juan Manuel Lopez and Yuriorkis Gamboa.

          If you looks a John's career as a whole his **** is not too impressive. He hasn't been in America looking to take on the toughest challenges, though at the same time he came to America to face Juarez a second time after getting screwed and also went to Japan to face an undefeated Enoki.

          Basically he's a slightly more accomplished Calzaghe in terms of risks/accomplishments. You don't see him looking to face the Gamboas and Lopezs every single fight, but on occasion you might see him in a challenging matchup. At this stage in his career with a record like his, he's probably more interested in stacking the wins in Indonesia and retaining the undefeated status.

          As for the Marquez fight: Didn't score individual rounds, but I had Marquez/John a close fight. You gotta win decisively to pick up the champ's strap in his backyard

            I have Juanma #1 at 126, in 2010 alone he KO'd 3 top 10 fighters at 126. Just in 2010, who did John beat in lone 2010 fight?

            Then he only has one win in 2009.

            Again just one year alone Juanma has done more than John has in the last 2 years combine.

                He hasn't been anywhere near active enough for me to say he's the best at 126 anymore. Both Lopez and Gamboa probably beat him now.

                      didnt he almost get koed by juarez in the last couple rounds their last fight?

                      is he even active as gamboa or lopez to even be ranked number one? dont think so.

                      does he stand a chance againest the two of them? nope..
