    Default Re: Glenn Johnson

    Well i thought Chad Dawson vs Glen Johnson was a draw, but i agree with JT Rock here. I think theres a reason Joe Calzaghe has sidestepped Glen Johnson. And thats because he is a bad style match up IMO, Joe Calzaghe has struggled in rough/physical fights with Robin Reid, Sakio Bika, Kabary Salem, ETC.

    And just because Glen Johnson has lost to lesser fighters means nothing, haven't you heard of the old saying style makes fights ? Kirkland Laing gave Roberto Duran a boxing lesson, yet Kirkland Laing lost to much lesser fighters than Roberto Duran, and Roberto Duran beat much better fighters than Kirkland Laing. Plus most people wouldn't have even mentioned Kirkland Laing in the same breath, as Roberto Duran before there fight.

    Glen Johnson is a much better pressure fighter, than the fighters i mentioned above. And is the master at rough/physical fights, i think he would give Joe Calzaghe a very good argument. Aslong as he doesn't get old overnight because he is reaching that stage, but if Glen Johnson fought the sameway as he did against Chad Dawson. Expect a very tough fight for Joe Calzaghe.

    You have to be kidding? Johnson, a come forward semi-plodder, is a bad style match for Calzaghe?

    The only reason Bika and Salem had Calzaghe in rough physical fights is because they DIDN'T come to fight they came to SURVIVE.

    Johnson doesn't even have a punchers chance against Calzaghe.

    Sakio Bika didn't come to survive he made it a rough/physical fight. And won most of the later rounds, and Sakio Bika is much more limited than Glen Johnson.

    Glen Johnson is a master at rough/physical fights, he would close the distance. And go to work on the inside, plus his workrate is very good so Joe Calzaghe's workrate wouldn't bother him.

    I somehow see this one going another 10 pages though.

    Bika doesn't fight anything like Johnson. Against Calzaghe he stood like a statue, the majority of the fight, waiting for Joe to get close enough for him to unleash headbutts and gooly shots. Apart from that, all he did was throw his huge wild wingers.

    Johnson would be the one steadily coming forward - but look like he's moving in treacle compared with Joes speed, angles and volume. He tired quite markedly in the 3rd Woods fight. He'd never get away with that vs Calzaghe. So the workrate could be a big problem.
