Chris John

WBA Featherweight Titleholder 44 0 2 (22) Last Year s Ranking: 17 Status Report: You can make a case for demoting John more than we did; he was inactive for 14 months before beating Fernando Saucedo in Indonesia in December (W 12). This inspired the WBA to hand out featherweight title belts of varying color and significance to every upright walking primate on the eastern seaboard, but that s not John s fault, and until someone beats him he stays on this list. Future: There are lots of good featherweights out there for an ambitious guy like John. Keep your fingers crossed that he meets a couple of them.
