Chris John vs. Stanyslav Merdov for anyone who cares

Chris John is an excellent, underrated technical boxer. But Marquez beat him and was robbed. JMM should never have gone overseas to fight that dude.

You're right. I still fucks with John but I wish he would leave his comfort zone.

:yes: He took an unnecessary risk and it set back his career. John is like Cotto to me: either fight some of the real names in your division or retire.

John took those Juarez fights.... and ran back to Indonesia... He's in the equivalent of the witness protection program for boxers... We will likely never see him in a fight with world class fighter again. Marquez goes over there and gets robbed, Dude got some false heart and came here to fight Juarez with REAL judges, almost lost and went back into hiding... I don't even recognize him in real boxing discussions anymore at this point... He's a smaller version of Felix Sturm to me... :smh:

Great analogy, except Sturm really did get robbed when he came here. Arum or somebody is going to have to give him some real money to get him back in America.
