Chris John has a win over current P4P no.2 Marquez. Now whether or not you think Marquez was "robbed," he officially LOST to John. MANY believe Hopkins was robbed against Taylor, this didn't stop Taylor from entering P4P. MANY believe Marquez beat Pacman twice.. this hasn't affected Pac's P4P standing. The OFFICIAL result is accepted.

John also has a win over Jose Rojas, a man that KO'd current P4P 10 ranked Celestino Caballero.

Help?
Chris John: Aside that his one big win was a gift. There's also the fact that he's only faced one elite fighter in over 40 career fights. Wins over shot once decent fighters Derrick Gainer and Jose Rojas are his biggest highlights. I'm shocked when ever I read that John is p4p or close to being a p4p fighter. How? The man ain't even p4p top 50. Let alone top 10.

Hozumi Hasegawa: His comp level is much better than John's. He's top 20. A win over another top fighter could put him in the top 10. Him and Anselmo Moreno should fight.

Mikkel Kessler: His biggest news since losing to Calzaghe was punking out of a very winnable fight against Edoson Miranda. To face some obscure fighter. You don't reward cowards.
