why is that nonsense. make some good points to support your argument. just because you say its nonsense doesn't make it. rationalize it
Glen Johnson is a superior fighter to Jeff Lacy in every aspect, except two, youth and power. Other than that he is far more expierenced, more versatile, has much better defense, has faster hands, and is nearly tied with Tarver as being the best LH in the world. Joe Calzaghe can't pop, how is he gonna hurt Johnson? Not to mention unlike Lacy, Glen has big fight expierence and would not freeze up or stop throwing punches. If anything he would punch with Calzaghe and most like hurt him the way I see it. Johnson has really come of age as of late and is a very difficult fighter to defeat, particularly for a smaller man like Joe who does not possess the power to hurt Glen IMO. Yeah I know Johnson fought at middle weight and what not, but now he is the bigger man, and has grown into LH quite nicely.

It is glen johnson who doesn't have the power to knock calzaghe. he landed so many punches on Tarver but didn't hurt him in both of his fights. It took him 9 rounds of constant power punching to knock the immoble roy jones out. he has 29 knockouts in 44 (64%) wins, Joe has 31 knockouts in 41 wins (75%) he is a come forward fighter which is best suited for Joe calzaghe, joe could move all night and use his superior hand speed and foot movement blast johnson all night. Lacy didn't stop throwing punches because of his inexperience its because he was battered and was using most of his conditioning to survive the fight, the same thing can happen to johnson when he is being pounded from every angle. If you say calzaghe can't pop then you need to see what lacy's face looked like after the fight. I for one don't want johnson to fight joe, I really like johnson he is the millenium's cinderella man but cinderella's magic has a time limit. same thing happened to James Braddock when he came across Joe Louis. even johnson knows this he said in his famous quote, " I am not the best, I am just a guy who is willing to fight the best".

Re: Most hyped boxer on this forum
For my money the most hyped fighters on this forum are John Ruiz and Cotto.
Neither have a recognised belt but according to their supporters on here they are the most hard done by great fighters in the history of the game.
How anyone can support Ruiz is beyond me. He hits harder with his lawyers than with his gloves but most of all he hits the canvas hardest, just ask David Tua. ;D
Cotto is a real prospect but he hasn't stepped up to the top level and mixed it up with the big boys yet... when he does, IF he does, IF he wins I'll be happy to congratulate him but until he does the hype is way OTT compared to his achievements.
PBF and Hatton are going to cop a lot of hype. PBF is a world class boxer at three weight divisions? Hatton is a world class fighter/mauler at two weight divisions?
They both sound worthy of hype to me.
Re: Most hyped boxer on this forum
Calzghe would handle Johnson. Johnson went life and death with Clinton Woods who is a good honest fighter but not on Calzaghes level in my opinion. Calzaghe has a lot of KOs on his record. He has fairly good power. Easily enough to get Johson's respect. He has superior stamina and footspeed to Tarver as well.
Re: Most hyped boxer on this forum
Hatton,Vlad, PBF,Joe C,Tyson,etc. Hype comes and goes and depends on what day it is. The most hyped fighter on this forum, I like and hope he gets his day, but hasn't done anything like the guys mentioned before.
Antonio Margarito
Say what you want=he's avoided, he doesnt get exposure, yea, yea, yea. He's tough, and a good fighter that should get a shot, but ON THIS SITE, he is the most hyped fighter IMO.

I would say.............................
Naseem Hamed.....'tho hes been retired for years now, he somehow seems to be able to beat active fighters and every year hes making a comeback ::**
Re: Most hyped boxer on this forum
To whoever said Margarito,that is lame bro! Seriously,he has like a MAX of 5 supporters who alway get drowned out and just want to see him get a shot,that is not over hyping.

I agree that he deserves a shot. And I also think he could beat alot of the top fighters. Alot of people hate, and alot of people don't think he deserves a shot. I do. I also never said he was over-hyped. The question as I took it, was who is the most hyped fighter? Not over-hyped. All the fighters that have been mentioned on this thread has done something, and beat someone of signifigance. Has Tony? His four losses everyone tries to excuse, that's not hyping? Saying he deserves a shot is hyping the fighter, right? Saying he is the best ever would be overhyping, and I think that title goes to Joe C. I pull for Tony, and put him on the map just like you, but that IS hyping a fighter. Promoting that he deserves a shot, when he might not, is hyping a fighter. That's just my opinion.
Re: Most hyped boxer on this forum
Seriously somebody said Tony? :o
Now thats just ignorant... ::**
I swear I can't belive some people.......
He calls out the winner (prior to the fight)
Date set
Venue set
Hotel room set
The winner was PBF he offers a VERY good amount of money and where is he......
He declind the offer, say something about that......
Everybodys so stuck on this whole PBF-ODLH shet!!! even if ODLH takes PBF....ODLH without Maywaether isn't ODLH complete.....It wouldn't be a smart thing for him to do.....I hope ODLH leaves PBF dressed and ready for the ball and then at the last minute he retires or something and that way PBF waisted even more time dodging Tony....

You guys missed my point. Tony isn't hyped outside this site. That sucks, but exactly what you guys are saying proves my point. He is hyped on this site. Since I said Tony, everyone responding is hyping Tony. Lame or not, is seems to be true. He is hyped on this site.
Re: Most hyped boxer on this forum
I get what your saying now...... :)

I don't....I was just responding because Tony's name should not be here fullstop.He is not hyped,overhyped whatever.Deserving a shot at the big time and being hyped/over hyped are 2 completely different things and second,what is there to justify about his losses?They are self explanatory facts:2 losses as a teen and 2 on cuts.Simple as. Everyone responding is not "hyping" Tony,it's more defending.

So Calzaghe hits harder than Johnson? ;D ::** Have YOU seen Johnson's last two fights? He KO'd George Khalid Jones, and knocked Richard Hall down a couple times en route to giving him the beating of a life time. And Hall barely if at all buzzed Johnson and Richard Hall can hit pretty damn hard. A hell of a lot harder than fukin Joe Calzaghe. Johnson is a very good fighter despite his record, and Calzaghe is not unbeatable just because he beat up on Jeff Lacy.
Re: Most hyped boxer on this forum
Im pretty sure a confident , motivated Calzghe gives Johnson a thrashing . Rememeber the yank was nothing more than a journeyman in his youth but his had sucess near the end of his career by taking the right fights at the right time
Clinton didnt have the workrate to match Glencoffe but he held his own . I reckon Joe would steamroller him with his workrate and pace . Not sure about a K.O but it would be too different to the Lacy fight
