His previous 3 fights were against well-respected and dangerous fighters

10/29/05 vs Ratanachai Sor Vorapin - Jhonny was the underdog, but just schooled him and got a 7th round TKO

2/25/06 vs. Mark "too sharp" Johnson - Jhonny picked apart the slick Johnson and finally pummeling him into retirement in the 8th round

9/16/06 vs. Fernando Montiel - Jhonny was involved in a chess match with Fernando (who I also consider to be a great boxer) and eventually took a split decision

Upcoming fights

He is taking a quick tune-up fight in February
on 2/9/07 against Alex Baba
and on 3/17/07 will be defending the WBO title that he still holds against Gerry Penalosa
Good post...
CC# for taking the time to post something like that it takes resarch....


But I must say that if you do the same for Fernando Montiel & Martin Castillo the same format applies.
Not really, because Castillo lost to a super young Nobuo Nashiro (who is currently 9-0) and has been inactive since.

And Montiel is going through a 10 month lay-off after losing to Gonzalez, which was his ONLY fight in 2006. I think more p4p emphasis should go on sheer activity, a guy who fights only once a year, shouldn't be on a p4p list.
