I think Naz would have a hard time making Super Middleweight the way he's been living.Quote:

Beating a 37 year old glen johnson is not deserving of a crack at a world title in my opinion!!
Zab Judah comes to mind.Quote:

Johnson is still rated one of the top lightheavies. And 39 year-old Johnson beat the current IBF holder, Dawson, in many peoples eyes.Quote:

Seriously? Johnson is about the best LHW out there who doesn't already hold a title belt... A win over him definetly puts a guy right up there.. It's the fact that Woods lost badly to Tarver last time out that makes this dumb.Quote:

He is an active and experienced fighter with good wins, so he deserves the chance.
Woods was so dissappointed in his performance against Tarver, maybe he thought he just didn't have it that night. Either way, he's 35 and been in a lot of fights. I know, I know, Glen Johnson has really been in there with everybody, BUT he is one tough SOB.
Woods is not.
Point blank.
