So, I just saw Kevin Johnson's latest.. um... fight. As usual, a rather uninspiring performance. Johnson seems to embody the concept of underperforming. It's so aggravating and disappointing. Why can't he try harder? Why can't he... I don't know, do something?
Damn it Johnson!
After a bit of consideration, I take it back, saying he doesn't try hard enough. Actually... he's just not very good.
How dare you say that , Kevin Johnson is Fury's best win , im not having that his is light punching and hand picked as an easy win.
Why don't we call on an EXPERT in contemporary boxing to answer your questions...Quote:

Oh man, but seriously, when Johnson went 12 with Vitali, it was said it was because he had good defense. Well.. I don't know how true that is. Or perhaps he does have good defense, but that's it. His offense is very very poor. Mostly he just jabs. He needs to mix it up more. And that rather odd stance he has isn't helping I think. Where is @El Kabong? He does pretty good analysis of heavyweight boxers faults.
KJ is too bulky to be a top-flight fighter. You can tell he doesn't do the road work, and lifts more weights than it helps.
My message to him: Lose about 15 pounds, and lose some of the muscle, incorporate an extra mile or two in his road-work regimen, and spend and extra hour on the bag and mitts.
It's clear he can't throw punches effectively. And these are the reasons why!
He just stinks, plain and simple. He's durable and knows how to not get knocked out, that's all he has going for him on the world stage.
I had him beating Hammer 96-94 in a true shitfest of a contest. Obviously the hometown guy got the UD though.
Kevin Johnson had tremendous potential. Athletic, solid jab, great reach, hard to catch clean, great upper body movement.... but he's lazy, he's got little power, he has no right hand. He's a frustratingly incomplete fighter. If he used his right AT ALL he'd be better than most heavyweights. He has the James Toney shoulder roll down to perfection but NEVER counters...that's his biggest flaw
....but surely we can all agree that Kevin Johnson would wipe the floor with former greats like Foreman, Marciano & Ali!
:rolleyes: He DID ko a modern day athletic phenom in Bruce Seldon...besides, he is 6'3 and has big oily and shiny muscles...:oQuote:

Hey guys, who do you think would win between Kevin Johnson and Audley Harrison? ;D
I may just lean toward Harrison winning that match up.
Johnson UD. Oddly enough he can turn it on if truly motivated. He is just lazy. Like a lot of heavyweights he's half of a decent fighter.Quote:
