I wouldn't favor him against any of the title holders based on his showing versus Burgos.
Rojas will neutralize pretty much any southpaw, let alone someone he's bigger and faster than.
Lopez is too big and strong and is starting to find his natural style, which would work in his favor against Hasegawa.
Gamboa might be better matchup than the other 2, but he seems too fast, powerful, and strong to lose to Hasegawa.
John is the best matchup for HH, but he's bigger, throws too many punches, and does a good job defensively to lose to HH, but it would be the best and most competitive fight of the 4.
Gonzalez will be a tough test, the man is still pretty tall for the weight class, has carried up his P4P power, and is a good boxer. People overlook the fact that he's actually winning the fights he's lost. If Hasegawa has enough pop to drop Jhonny, he wins, if he doesn't, I can see him losing by KO or even a decision.

I'm expecting Gonzalez to be a tough fight for HH, he's still very open and aggressive which gives us an exciting fight but not a fight Hozumi should be fighting he needs to use his speed more because when he does he really shows how good he is.

I also agree that this fight with Gonzalez won't be easy. Gonzalez has never looked out of place in his losses, and you mentioned the fact that he's ahead when he loses. He's just a bit too frail for me to pick to win.....I just think he'll give Hasegawa a damn good fight. If Burgos' reach and height gave Hasegawa trouble I full expect Gonzalez's (and other's) to do the same.

He's B- level..
For some reason, Rojas is rarely talked about when people name the top featherweights (akin to Moreno when people talk about the top bantamweights), but he's no easy fight for them.

Originally posted by It's Ovah View PostYeah, more or less agree with all of this. His win against Burgos was good but not awe-inspiring, and he still shows too much wildness, especially with his right hook. Can see either John or Rojas capitalising on that.

I know, it's hard to pick Jhonny to win a fight given his past, but it's hard for me to pick against him. I mean, his offense is just good. If his opponent doesn't put themselves in harm's way, they're going to lose. Hasegawa seems to me like the type of fighter that will take chances if he has to, so he definitely should be the favorite and it'll be a good fight regardless.
Rojas and Moreno are the type of fighter that will stand up when time comes. They'll prove it first hand, so I just pay attention to them and let dudes think what they want. It's much better when they are proven wrong.
