Johnson/Arbachukov.

Post by Rover »

These two were in the same division for years, and this fight was talked about but never materialized. I'd go with Johnson by decision. Thoughts?

Gone back and forth on this one over the years. I'm a bigger Arbachakov fan, but Johnson could've beaten him if he fought wisely, i.e. used his jab and speed advantage to keep Arbachakov from getting into that beautiful rhythm of his. If he tried overwhelming him and walking him down/shooting it out with him as he did a lot early on (mainly relying on his physical attributes) in his career, I'd take Yuri. Johnson had a whole lot of trouble with a similar but less talented fighter in his younger days in Alberto Jimenez.
