? What credit would he get? He was just beaton by Dawson, also was beaton by Tarver and was also beaton by Clinton Woods in the last of the three fights at this stage Johnson doesnt mean a great deal when the oppurtunity to beat the man who beat Johnson is on offer and the possible rematch with Hopkins, who has just schooled a figther who was in the p4p top 10 something Johnson is nowhere near, there are still many doubters over Calzaghes win over Hopkins so them two fights Dawson and Hopkins are far bigger/important to his career than Johnson.
Kessler and Froch are fighters who have the potential to become great fighters of there times, where like i say Johnson, is past his best and wouldnt mean a great deal at this time.
The only fighter that had a clear victory over Johnson was Hopkins, Johnson can also say that he beat a younger RJJ much more convincingly than Calzaghe did. Furthermore, a fight with Johnson is the only one that Calzaghe legitimately backed out of. Lastly it's the fight that I want and that trumps all other arguments

Oh dont get me wrong mate id love to see the fight would be a tear up but i just think people would be discrediting Joe for taking this fight.
Point in fact won't Joe get discreditted regardless of opponent?
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
