Wow these Australian announcers just said John was one of the best Featherweights of all time. What are they smoking?

Champ since 2004. Decisively beat Marquez. He gets hated on too much here.

When they decided to finally pay him enough to go to America, he got robbed with a draw versus Juarez then had to come back to beat him again.


I would understand if he was a crappy fighter, but he's not.

End of an era.

Was Marquez a bum? Or are you just going to join the weird bandwagon of calling that fight a robbery?

I guess he's not a household name anywhere but Asia.

Actually shocked, but I guess everyone has their time.. he's a credit to his people.
