Glen still pressures as good as anyone in the biz and throws a good volume of punches
You know I love you & all that S***...but that's like sayin' Lacy would whoop Calzaghe in a rematch.

Glen can be as ruff as he wants...but nobody's ruffer or more skilled inside than Hopkins. Glen comes in too much now & refuses to utilize the one weapon that could nullify Hopkins's tactics: A JAB.

Then again...Winky never got his off against Hopkins...so there aint much of a thought that Johnson would either.

Johnson's a work horse & he's got heart...but just because he plowed through an old Jones, a lazy Tarver, stopped an overdone Griffin, & went toe to toe with Woods (& let's just forget Moore) doesn't mean that he'll ever get through the cagey wit of Hopkins.

Honestly...I just don't know who can.
I take issue with that statement. Jones was by no means old when he fought Johnson. Had Tarver (that m***er f***er) not had landed the luckiest punch in boxing history AND had RJJ done the smart thing and stayed out at least a year (two would have been better) before returning, Johnson wouldn't have gotten close to beating Roy. No disrespect intended towards Johnson. They both got the win and what's done is done. I just hope Roy hangs out long enough to avenge his loss to Both of them.
