This is an appreciation / bandwagon thread for one of the greatest fighters of this era, Glen Johnson.
Some might remember an undefeated, up and coming Glen Johnson demolished by Bernard Hopkins in his first title try but still showing toughness, even in loss.
After that loss he fought all top competition and lost split and majority decisions to hometown fighters but never quit trying, even though most would have.
When he finally beat Woods, knocked out Roy Jones and decisioned Antonio Tarver, all during the same year, he was nominated the fighter of the year 2004. It was a great year for Glen Johnson and he will always be remembered for that.
He overcame all the politics, won the world title and became the number 1 light heavyweight in the world.
Since then he has dropped close decisions to both Tarver and Woods but recently resurrected his career with a stoppage win over Montell Griffin. Now, Glen Johnson will be fighting one of the potential future stars, the WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson.
The odds are stacked against Glen but will he once again be able to overcome those odds, just like he has for his whole career.

All aboard the Glen Johnson bandwagon.

Johnson will KO Dawson in nine.
I'm taking bets on Dawson to decision Johnson. If anyone has some points to spend on a bet, I'll take them.
Okay I might take a bet on Johnson to beat Dawson but only for 1k or 2k because I don't want to spend all my points on that.
