Johansson is better than all them guys & punchers harder than all of them to. But yet this isn't a legit match up?
Johansson was no joke.

I don't think Johannson hits harder then Briggs or Mercer to be honest. He was probably more accurate, but is he going to land? Lewis is going to keep him on the end of his left jab. Lewis had a long reach and was much bigger and stronger then Johannson. he's going to set up powerful shots, shots that Johannson likely can't take.
I see an early stoppage likely

I suppose it's fair to say if Rahman can do it, Johansson could, too --- but this is, in all likelihood, a mismatch. Lewis is better in almost every conceivable category. At worst, he gives up a little in chin (debatable). Power, defense, offensive variety, height, weight, range, adaptability, ring generalship...it's Lewis, Lewis & Lewis, all day long.
Barring an upset (& it would be a sizeable one), Lewis would off-set Johansson's shaky balance with the jab & score the knockout with a stunning right hand in the sixth. Johansson had more heart than Rahman, but his chin & defense were no better.

How likely is it that Johannson is going to connect on Lewis's chin anyway, and stop him like McCall and Rahman did? I don't think its likely..
