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 just think that Johnson forces you to fight period... Sorry Wack but Hopkins cant be regarded as a Bona Fied skilled Boxer anymore.. He uses his tactics and Guile and thats it!! If Winky was naturally Bigger he would of beat Hopkins and not faded down the stretch like he did from The constant hitting and holding.

Johnson has been fighting comfortably at 175 for years, Hopkins wouldnt wouldnt get away with his usual Bullshit of his last 2 fights, head down lead right, hold and hit and mix in an ocassional head butt... Wash, rinse and repeat. Hopkins lost me as a fan during the Wright fight, he compensates for deteriorating skill and age buy fighting dirty holding and hitting... He did the same shiit against Tarver and I and the majority thought it was spectacular and great cause it was against that asss clown Tarver. Glen would force Hopkins to Box and Box effectively to keep him off, Glen can make it an EFFECTIVE mess on the inside
