Glen Johnson Willing To Replace Hopkins, Fight Adamek - Boxing News
Yeah I saw this, would have to be a war really.
That's a lot of weight for Johnson :-\ Of course I wasn't sure how Adamek would handle cruiser but he looked like a bigger LH to me. I guess I would favor Adamek, besides size there's youth.
Johnson will fight anyone, that's why he's one of my fave's.
I expect an Adamek/Briggs type war here. I think Johnson comes out on top although both guys have outstanding chins.
Awesome simply awesome. To me Johnson beat Dawson and Adamek lost most of the fight with Dawson until the end. Both of these guy's have great stamina. I believe that's will make for a fantastic match-up. But Adamek might be a bit stronger having been at this weight longer and Johnson I believe started a 160 maybe even lighter. I'll take Adamek by desicion. I don't think either would be stopped but I could see Adamek getting hurt as he has in his last couple of fight's but pulling through.
Good fight but have to favour Adamek. Johnson gives anyone a tough ride but when he steps up against top opposition the last few years he has lost. How many times has he lost now, must be into double figures. Not to mention Adameks size and age advantages. Itll be tough but I dont see any reason to predict anything but an Adamek UD/MD/SD. Dont get me wrong Johnsons live but if im predicting gota be Adamek by decision.
Should be interesting, Adamek wins though.
Does Hopkins have other plans then?
I love Glen Johnson and hope he gets his shot over BHop. Glen has paid his dues and then some and comes to scrap every time he steps in the ring. I'm going with Glen by decision.
I think Johnson will go down as one of the toughest,willingness and most respected "fighters" fighter of our generation.In hindsight down the road.The man has never ask for quarter and gives none to opponents.A real class act that some of these silver spoon up & coming guys who carry a sence of entitlement can learn alot from.
Real shame Hopkins and Adamek looks to be off,though Im not totally convinced yet.In Johnson vs. Adamek Tomas would have to start fast,seems to be catchable early and takes a few shots before he revs it up.Off the top,I lean towards Adamek on strength and sharp punching down the stretch but can see a scenario where Johnson takes him deep and out hustles him.Just think its a bridge too far for Johnson right now.
This has all the makings off a classic war because both guys bring the pain and have big-time chins. Johnson deserves a title shot and Adamek will fight anyone put in front of him.
Even if Adamek is slightly bigger, size shouldn't be too much of an issue. He is an average, if not small, cruiserweight and Johnson is a thick light-heavy.
Who packs a bigger wallop? Who fights better on the inside?
Johnson won't provide the same possibilities that Cunningham or Dawson provided Adamek because he doesn't the skill or speed, but he has a helluva chin.
If at the 'Pru,' Adamek has to have the edge.
This is why I love the Road Warrior. Thats is a real tough fight, and he's the one calling for it. B-Hop knew the risk, thats why he asked so much money. I kind of had a feeling B-hop was just talking out his ass saying he wanted Adamek.
Glen Johnson reminds me a lot of Dwight Muhammad Qawi, in the fact that he might not have the prettiest record, or the best skills in the world, but he takes on all comers and always makes it a fight
I thought Hopkins was really game for it, anyway this fight will be more exiting for sure.Quote:

If not then all the better for Johnson. He derserves another crack at a world title and a big pay day.
I'll go with Adamek. He's not only bigger and stronger. But he's younger and just as tough. Won't be one-sided though. Johnson will make him earn it
I'm disappointed Hopkins/ Adamek feel through but Johnson would be a better fight!
After the closeness of the Dawson lose; Johnson deserves another top fight & this would be a another closely contested fight.
My initial thought is to favor Adamek but it won't be easy & I wouldn't be surprised if Johnson pulled of the upset (or gets robbed)!
