I think when he was younger, he let some of his fights get too close. I haven't seen him fight when he was younger but I hardly doubt he was robbed 10 times and the only one who can admit loss is to the one where hopkins stops him. -
i know he was robbed at least 4 times gonzales ,ottke ,woods and sheika... but i didint get to see his other fightsComment

Well, ottke is a given. I don't understand how anyone thinks their going to be able to beat him without getting a ko of him. He is the most protected fighter in the sportComment

johnson first loss was to hopkins and he was beaten pretty bad, it was a complete 10 round beat down and he was then stopped in the 11th.
and if you notice, most of the fighters that lose to hopkins go on a losing streak or just don't have the same kind of fight in them afterwards, a good handful of them just flat out retire, but the ones that keep and have kept on fighting usually have a run at bad luck, johnson being one of those guys.
but on the flip side to that, johnson is also one of the few guys to lose to hopkins and win a belt and get back to a more positive direction in his career.
but i'd say overall johnson has gotten the short end of the stick in some decisions, i'd even go as far to say more than half even, just due to the fact that he would take fights on short notice and he would always fight in his opponents hometown, A LOT. hence the name " Road Warrior ".
after watching him fight griffin a few weeks ago you can see he's still hungry and ready to roll.
johnson is a class act and a asset to boxing, i wish a lot of fighters would take his humble approach to boxing and be as professional has glen johnson, he's a cut above the rest in those two aspects.Comment
