Thread: Kevin Johnson, the best Heavyweight prospect out there???

Just checking out on this guy and he's a Heavyweight prospect, check this out

He is 6'5, he's 15-0 and he's 27 usually comes to a fight at around 236 or 240

And already in his career he has fought.

Timor Ibragimov (Timor was 13-0 and he was 4-0)

Robert Wiggins (and fought him and beat him before Audley Harrison did)

and

Robert Hawkins(Before Tua did and after Sam Peter did)

And he fought them before these other people who were ranked in top by the Heavyweights fought them(except the Ibragimov fight where he got a draw, but he was 4 and 0 and Ibragimov was 13-0 so thats impressive already)

My question is, why hasn't he gotten the big exposure yet? For a 15-0 prospect in the Heavyweights thats a pretty good resume so far when building up your career,


So why hasn't this guy gotten any attention that I think he deserves

....none of the young heavies are getting exposure: Chambers just now got on tv and he was on ESPN.

His draw with Timor was a 4-rounder.....I think he's going to have a hard time getting any big-time TV fights because he has no almost no power. Time will tell of course.

I think boxing finally starting to realize that NOT every young Heavy is the next best thing.

I think it's good and I think they should earn their air time, Arreolas never been on National TV (I think) and hes being talked about just as much as Chambers.

For me it's simple, I don't wanna know/hear about up and comers right now.
We're sooo close to a Unified Champ and thats all I'm thinking about right now.

And Eddie Chambers is who Johnson wants to fight after this one if he wins from what I read

IMO the next big thing a 200+ is Povetkin, he looks a good prospect.

Personally I'd say a draw with Timor pretty much rules you out as ever being a contender.

Johnson, who has a good jab, was matched tough early(rare these days). Part of the reason he fell of the radar is that he has periods of inactivity. He hasn't showed to have the most exciting style either and that hurt, if he stopped everybody in the first round but had no skill, we'd be hearing alot more.

I was intrigued by his record but then they showed him on Friday Night Fights about a year ago against some no hoper. Majesty, you'll love him, he's boring as shit.

He has a good jab, nice jab. Its all he throws. Literally. It was really frustrating, because while it was a nice jab, against this no hoper you would think he would have at least had the guts to throw a right hand every three or four rounds. I know what people would say, why take chances when you don't have to, but is throwing a right hand every round or two really taking a chance?

Hopefully, he'll get some confidence. Cause he's gonna need a right hand as he moves up. He does have talent, very big, good athletic ability. I won't even say he doesn't have power, its kinda hard to say considering he's never thrown a power punch.

I'm still with Matt Skelton. 40 is a prospect in this day and age.

Just whatched this arrogant street nigger..what a disgrace to boxing..this Wills had to chase him through the whole fight. And Johnson couldn't do a thing. I have never trained for a fight , but I could last just as long with this piece of shit. Send me an invite Johnson..I willl fight you.

Wills is an absolute stiff. I doubt we will be hearing much of him from here on out. Johnson has got one of the better jabs you'll see, but not a whole lot else. However, a great jab can win you a lot of fights. I wouldn't be surprised to see him win a belt at some point. That said, he is not a dynamic fighter. As such, his annoying trash talking is actually a smart marketing tactic because it will make people want to watch just to see someone ice him.

povetkin, chambers, demitrenko and tony thompson are all better heavyweight prospects..

johnson only has 6 ko's which would make him weaker than the heavyweight prospects mentioned above and power is the only way he could beat the klitchko bros...
