Given that Jonson's slide was evidently one of the contributing factors of the result (not that I don't think woods did well) I think Woods would proberbly beat him worse next time round as he will be older and have been in one more hard 12 round fight.

Unlike the 1st 2 fights, a lot of ppl have Clinton winning. He simply won a close fight

Not a fourth fight, please.

There is no talent coming through, this is why we have repaeated rematches involving old men.

I wouldn't say no, as it was a superb fight. the talent is around - and they are fighting for the WBC 175 title next month, Adamek-Briggs II rematch of a classic

also, Chad Dawson is a major talent, he hammered Eric harding to get a high IBF ranking. Shaw sent Hoye over for Woods. Dawson has better tools so I wouldn't bet against 'Big Gary' doing it again.

Also, Woods and Johnson definitely have class. & the absolute class of the division for me is Erdei. He needs a big fight though

I think Erdeis shit tbh, had him losing wide decisions to Garay twice. Hes got no lateral movement and is very basic. I think Adameks the class of the decision - he actually reminds me of Roy Jones in terms of footwork.

Whens Garay going to get a title shot? He owned Erdei each time and would give anyone a hard nights work

Erdei is a subtle craftsmn. Hence why some ppl think Garay beat him! Finer points is what Zsolt is good at, & he did the block and counter well enough - for me at least.

Edrei is okay but Garay did beat him twice. I think Garay is underated though.

Know I don't particularly want to see Woods vs Johnson IV, good fights that the three have been. One of the two is definately slipping and the 9th round showed it. He was breathing heavy after the 6th and to be honest even after the 9th I EXPECTED Woods to win the 10th, 11th and 12th cause Johnson was looking worse than Woods at the end of the round.

The fact is Woods won 5 of the last 6 rounds and I cannot see Johnson being any better next time, his time is over.
