Where's Suikoden VI??????
Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson
Best Overall: JHONNY GONZALEZ
I would say that it's Johnny Gonzalez. he's a guy that when you look at him on tape or when you watch him in the ring, it doesn't look like anything special. Even though it was the last fight of my career it's also the way that he carries him self, with his defense and his punching power. then you add in the fact that he was trained by Nacho Beristain, who is a hall of fame trainer.
Best Jab: ARTHUR JOHNSON
I would say that the man with the best jab would have to be Arthur Johnson. I say that even tho I knocked him out in the first round, and I never really gave him the opportunity to use it. I really had to out speed him and beat him with my jab, which meant being first and getting close. Then, once he would jab, I countered over the top and caught him. I set the stage early in the first five seconds of the round. I had to out jab the jabber and I got him with a right hook over the top of his jab.
BEST DEFENSE: Fernado Montiel
Montiel was tough. Early on in the fight, I was the aggressor and I was able to push forward. But if you watch the fight, the punch numbers were down. He was difficult to hit and made it tough to jump on him.
BEST BOXER: Montiel
I still have to go with Montiel. I think that he was the best boxer out of them all. It went 12 rounds, and I was fighting a lot of mexicans who, up until then, really didn't have that many comparable boxing skills. but Montiel was a really good, solid boxer. Fernado Montiel, the Sugar Ray Leonard of Mexicans.
BEST PUNCHER: Rafael Marquez
I fought a lot of guys who were good punchers, but of course the guy that I would have to rate No. 1 is Marquez just because in the second fight, he was able to stop me.
BEST CHIN: Alberto Jimenez
the Jimenez fight came at a time early in my career when I was knocking everybody out, but with him, it went to a split dec. Before that fight, I had only gone as far as about six rounds. I hit him with everything, including the kitchen sink. The only thing that I didn't hit him with was the fire hydrant outside.
FASTEST HANDS AND FEET: Montiel
that would have to be Montiel again. Montiel was faster than any of them. Montiel was a much better fighter then he showed against donaire. I never got behind the eight-ball and the fight did get close, but I was already ahead. But Montiel was the fastest fighter that I fought. that fight just gave me fits.
Smartest: Gonzalez
I say that it was Gonzalez, but not because of what he did in the ring, but because he chose to fight me at the right time in my career and was able to stop me. plus with Nacho in the the corner you could actually say he was the smartest person that I fought. he just didn't get in the ring.
STRONGEST: Ancee Gedeon
Very very very early in my career, I fought a guy who was the physically strongest in Ancee Gedeon. it went 10 rounds in DC....and it was one of those tune up fights. but this guy was so much bigger and so much stronger than I had anticipated, that every punch I hit him with, he just walked right threw it. in the later rounds, I had to box the guy because he just would not go anywhere.
