Hang about here.
If you look through Johnson's record, you will see that he is actually a very good fighter. He started at middleweight, and in his entire career Hopkins remains the only man to stop him.
Had he been more of a draw, I think he would have won a portion of the title before now. His ability doesn't match his record, and that is because he has been shafted by the judges so many times.
Calzaghe v Glencoffe?
Agree with J and James. Johnson is very underrated though must be past his peak by now. As for Joe and P4P, I think he has the potential but for a variety of reasons, has not had the fights which would prove that. 3 of the right fights with the right results would propel him up there. He needs to get a move on thought!

Yes Johnson is a good fighter but he is nothing special and if Joe is as good as he promises and appears to be at times then he should get past Johnson.
I like Johnson and enjoyed his fights against Woods but in reality he was in against a limited opponent IMO.
I would prefer to see Johnson defend the title a few times and earn some much deserved money and enjoy the title rather than get dethroned on his first defence.
