Who wins between two of the best Jr. Fly's of all time?

Over 12 rounds....Gonzalez may have a better chance to pull off a close Dec?....Over 15 rounds Yoko's stamina would give him a clear cut Dec or late TKO.

Gonzalez probably had more power then Yoko ever faced....plus Gonzlaez could box with him as well.......Yoko's workrate, stamina and left hook would have caused all sorts of problems for Gonzalez...

For Gonzalez to win he'd need to hurt Yoko early in the fight....if he didn't I see Yoko workrate wearing down Gonzalez.....

Too bad Yoko never moved up in weight.....his one sole loss was largely due to trying to cut so much weight to stay at Jr. Fly...

Gushiken was superior technically and generally a strong defensive fighter in close.

He outlands Gonzalez and wins a decision in an action packed fight.

Gushiken did tend to throw wide shots though.....once exchanges took place....he loved to lead much more then counter...and while he had a good staright jab....he did tend to get wide with his punches....

Boxing wise....I'm not so sure who was the better of the two..

What about Yoko Vs J. Koo Chang??

Who's wins this one?....Maybe more of a toss-up then even Yoko Vs H. Gonzalez....

(on a sid enote...what's even more odd or foolish...is that neither Koo Chang nor Yoko are in the IHOF...as far as I know).
