I would take Johnson to beat Abraham. Green couldn't do anything to keep Ward off his chest, that's how Glenn has been fighting for 100 years. No way he loses but I don't think he'll get the KO he needs either.

No I mean Abraham. He just faced a harder puncher then Abraham in his last fight, Abraham doesn't throw a whole lot and I think Johnson's activity would cause Abraham to become a little gunshy. Plus we've never seen Abraham fight without being able to move forward. Johnson has 1 gear but it's steady and would take rounds from AA, who gives away rounds far to often. I think he would take a close decision, or get the short end of a close decision.
I am with Amat here mate, if Johnson can hang and take bombs and arguably in some peoples case beat Cloud I can't see him worrying to much about AA arsenal of punches if Johnson can do the weight fine and if his level is still that it was against Cloud, I think Abrahams style could suit Johnson more active granite chin, I wouldn't b surprised if Johnson took a decision.
I just read on Dan Rafael's espn chat that Johnson inherits Kessler's round point total in the case of a tie in total points and thus, he advances with a win of any kind, not just a KO. That does not really seem fair to me that he should advance and not others with just a win. I'm not sure if did, but I take it back if I ever said that. Green, on the other hand, needs a KO to advance because of his low point total.
You guys seem to rate Johnson quite highly. Do you think he can win the whole thing?
I havent completely written Froch off yet but Ward is favourite. Green has no hope. Abraham has a punchers chance. I cant forget Johnsons loss to Woods years ago and everytime I see him box he is getting beaten by someone different so Id be surprised if he won. He'll make it past the group stage though because all he has to do is outpoint Green and even Miranda did that. Dirrel might be the most talented but next to Green he is the most fragile mentally. Doesnt like it whe things arent going his way and falls apart. I reckon Froch, Abraham, Ward and Johnson will be the final 4. Ward vs Abs in the final depending how it is seeded.
