Chris John announces his retirement

[FinitoElDinamita]

Chris John was a hell of a boxing talent. But while I'm sure he fought a lot of capable guys from the "asian boxing scene", he should have came over and fought the best from North America, the guys who were ranked the highest in his division.

American fighters werent eager to face him either in Indonesia.. John was a champion for a decade and if anybody wanted his title, they should have traveled to his backyard like Marquez did..

And to clear up John-Marquez, that fight was not a robbery.. It was a close fight where the hometown fighter got the nod which is not abnormal..

I have to disagree with that. I had it 117-111 and I'm not a big Marquez fan.
