Odlanier Solis versus Kevin Johnson

From Rafael's notebook today: "Solis' Top Rank debut is scheduled for Aug. 15 on the undercard of the a pay-per-view card at Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood. Solis could face rising American contender Kevin Johnson (22-0, 9 KOs), who knocked out 2004 U.S. Olympian Devin Vargas on May 15 on ESPN2. Top Rank's Carl Moretti and Johnson promoter Joe DeGuardia told ESPN.com they are in talks." These are the kind of fights the heavyweight division needs. We need the contenders to start fighting one another even when the belts aren't on the line. After a fight like this one of these guys would actually be closer to deserving a title shot. Who would you have? Personally I like Kingpin over the distance. Solis is a smooth puncher, but he's short and fat. Neither of them have power, but Johnson shows up to fights in shape and his left hand is blazing fast. I think Johnson would control the fight fairly comfortably.
