Wonjongkam was one of the greatest flyweights of all time. He was past his prime when he lost to Jaro.

As to John, he's had some iffy defenses but Hosono is a solid guy who has only had one bad loss (lopsided D to CC). This isn't a bad fight at all. It's not epic or anything, but it's hardly worth criticizing.

He does tend to fight a lot of bums but he beat marquez, i've watched a few of his fights and he's a pretty good boxer who always entertains. As for being a "paper champ", i agree but look at American boxing.....same **** different continent.

Problem is that, while there has been some solid (and Hosono counts for that too), there hasn't been quite enough and he hasn't done anything to unify the class which would at least be something to validate some of his stats.

Originally posted by crold1 View PostHis numbers are inflated, but he's had some solid foes. His last opponent, the Thai, had an inflated record but he can fight and it was a good scrap. Enoki, Yordan, & Juarez were all solid challengers. Kimura was a former titlist who had a good comeback win before taking on John.

Originally posted by WeltshmerzKO View PostGood points, and yea i enjoyed the Pripyano fight as well, was expecting John to show his age since he has been in some serious wars but the guy still has quite the motor and outworked the Thai. But honestly who of the big American or European names have called out John lately? nobody, and I think thats a big factor in his not being able to unify.... he's a high risk low reward. If he gets beat in the states then most american fans will say he's just another fighter out of Asia with a protected record, and any belt holding boxer won't want to risk losing to John (because its a very real possibility that they would, just watch what he was able to do against marquez).
I thought Marquez beat him in their fight but John is clearly not an easy out.
