With a loaded division, he continues to fight barely passable opposition. Now it's against Simpiwe Vetyeka on December 6, 2013. At some point in time, we need to stop taking John seriously. That time is now.

I gave up on that poser about 2 years ago.
He's been doing this forever, still holds one of the belts doesn't he? Doubt he'll ever try for unification or anything and I don't know how some of these guys get title shots against him. Must be able to sell tickets at home fighting pretty much anyone.
I love watching him box but this bum tour is getting old.
John is getting old and isnt the pure boxer he used to be. He's now more flat footed and has becone a boxer-slugger type without the power.
Arum needs to make him an offer he cant refuse and make a donaire fight
It's a shame some of these skilled guys choose to just be legends in their own country instead of fighting for legacy by testing themselves consistently on the world stage.
Chris John was a hell of a boxer but what does that mean when you're not fighting world class guys each time.
I think you are being a bit generous. You have to go back to Juarez. Johns an odd duck. I think he has like a real belief in karma or something. He pays Marquez peanuts to fight him at a parking lot and loads the deck against him and claims to be the best feather in the world. They decide to travel Stateside finally and showcase against Juarez only Rocky neglects to read the script. He manages a draw in a fight many thought he lost and then managed a win. I guess that left him with a bad taste in his mouth so he decided to snail back up and stay near home and finish his career in mediocrity.
This will actually be one of his better defenses. Vetyeka a good fghter. Them fighting in Australia is a good thing for him. He might get a fair shake. 50-50 fight
In his defense, Vetyeka did beat Yordan whose regarded as the second best fighter of Indonesia..
Just because a fighter isn't a household name doesn't mean that they are bad fighters..
But my problem is, at John's level, he needs to fight nothing but the best.. He's beaten too many decent fighters like Vetyeka..
