View Full Version : Where the hell is Glen Johnson??
Kimmy 03-29-2005, 10:43 AM I don`t get it! He beats Roy Jones and Tarver in successive fights. He is named fighter of the year and is reconized ( on paper ) as the best lightheavy in the world. There was talk of a Tarver rematch. There was talk of a hopkins rematch and so on. He is in a commanding position money wise going into any fight. He is approaching his late 30`s and hasn`t got long at the top. I realzie he should study his options but it is April and there is no news to his next fight!
So, does anyone know whats going on or can we expect Johnson to sign a fight in September and get outhustled because of ring rust and age?
enadeus 03-29-2005, 10:54 AM Isn't he fighting Tarver in a rematch?
The Troll 03-29-2005, 11:36 AM He should fight Tiozzo or one of the other Lt Heavyweight title holders and try to unify the belts. Tiozzo or Erdei
MlLkMan 03-29-2005, 11:36 AM Hes suppose to fight Tarver in a rematch , nothing else.
The Troll 03-29-2005, 11:42 AM Johnson Losses
Lost to Julio Caesar Gonzales by SD
Lost genuine clear descsion to Derrick Harom
Lost a MD to Omar Sheika
Lost a UD to Silvio Branco
Lost a clear UD to Syd Vanderpool
Lost a close UD to Sven Ottke
Lost a SD to Joseph Kiwanuka
Lost a UD to Merqui Sosa
Only TKO loss was to Bernhard Hopkins
Lots of SD and MD "losses" for Glencoff
But he has lost clearly to Silvio Branco, Hopkins, Harmon,
Silvio Branco shut him out I think
You people need to leave Johnson alone. He has to wake up for work in the morning. Oh and BTW, does anyone know Glen's phone number? I need him to build me a dogghouse in the backyard. Either that, or clean my pool. I am sure I can find something for the "working man" to do.
Kimmy 03-29-2005, 11:45 AM Johnson is a journeyman who has got better as he`s gone on. But your right, with all those loses its clear that Johnson will not dominate the division for too long. I`d pick Tarver in a rematch and give Clinton Woods a chance in a rematch. Johnson needs big money fights as he could lose to ANYONE!!
The Troll 03-29-2005, 11:48 AM He has 3 real genuine losses maybe 4 at the most.
He was dominated only twice
By Bernard Hopkins L TKO
And he was shut out by Silvio Branco
He lost like 8 rounds to 4 against Harmon.
joeboxer 03-29-2005, 12:23 PM the amount of pay-per-view fights coming out this year is amazing. even if johnson tarver 2 is not on pay per view, it will be very difficult to find a time slot for the fight and promote it.
the johnsnon tarver fight almost replaced the Vitalit-Rahman fight, but don got his boy Ruiz in there. Otherwise this fight would be next month.
jack_the_rippuh 03-29-2005, 12:32 PM Glen Johnson's time is almost up. Tarver is going to beat him in a rematch. After their rematch, though, I'd say both Tarver and Johnson have nothing left to do at 175lbs. Tarver can go to heavyweight and Johnson could hopefully try to lure a fight with Bernard Hopkins, but no one will care about seeing that **** after Tarver knocks Johnson unconcious.

I think Tarver would get bullied at heavyweight
Kimmy 03-29-2005, 02:54 PM but no one will care about seeing that **** after Tarver knocks Johnson unconcious.
I agree that Tarver will beat Johnson in a rematch but i don`t think it`ll be a KO. Johnson only loses by KO if he becomes old over night!
