He stopped Tommy Brown in 5 rounds at Penrith in 2005. Who do you want him to fight? Billy Dib? Asiku would not be considered after his last loss.

By the way, it's Chris John, not Johns.

It was 10 rounds with Tommy Browne, 10 rounds to KO Browne.

I can't see why Dib isn't a worthy opponent, he's knocking B level opponents out regularly. I think Chris John is moving int that Catergory of " could be beaten" , he's certainly been living off that JMM for a long time, and hasn't really een that impressive of late.

The Dibster seems to be following the Mundine "Path to Glory" route in recent times by fighting lesser lights.

It is about time Billy stepped up a bit as he must realise he has no PPV value by always being on the undercard.

I deont think Dib deserves a shot at John until he beats a top ranked opponent, but if it did ever happen at least John could shut Dib up for a while. I think John would dominate him.

Browne was nearly 5 inches taller than John. Browne's only other KO loss was against Zappavigna at lightweight in his last fight.

Dib has gone back to basics and he is trying to better himself as a fighter, he is in no rush as he is still young so you cant say he is doing a Mundine.

Chris John is far to experienced for Dib and i think he will outpoint him pretty easily. is dib still with golden boy?

No, he's not with goldenboy, i also agree with your assessment on Dib, John is prime for a loss, mark my words, may not be Dib yet, but within his next few fights that L column will have a vertical line in it.

Are you insinuating that Chris John is a Muslim?

As for him starving, he had his last fight 4 weeks ago. He seemed well nourished.

I agree with TRUTH. John makes good money fighting in his own country and the US. Why would he want to fight here ??

I See John' status as Super WBA feather weight title has now been given to Yuriorkis Gamboa, so what title does The Dragon hold now? WBA world,Interim? How does the super champion get dethroned without losing?

Let's see him fight John and see who the real champ is. According to his Boxrec record, John was "Super Champion in recess" for a short time and has been Super champion again since last month.
