Glen Johnson Poised For Another Title Run

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Dave Sholler - It does not take perfect 20/20 vision to see that many of the sport’s top light heavyweights want no part of hungry young champion Chad Dawson. Antonio Tarver, once the ruler of the division, doesn’t seem interested in the speedy WBC titleholder. Fresh off a win over a sluggish Felix Trinidad, Roy Jones Jr., the previous pound-for-pound legend, isn’t ready to accept the risk Dawson poses either.

One man who has conquered both Tarver and Jones in years past is ready though. At 39 years old, former champion and 2004 Fighter of the Year Glen Johnson is preparing to tame the division’s young lion. By accepting a bout against the undefeated Dawson on April 12, Johnson has set out to prove that he still belongs atop major light heavyweight rankings. [details]

Glen Johnson stock has been down ever since his loss to Woods, despite that, he's still a big name in the LHW division. Johnson is a good fighter, but he's not A level, more like a highly rated journeymen. On the other hand Chad Dawson is a very special talent, he basically turned Adamek into a one dimensional fighter. I doubt Glen Johnson can do something like that or even beat Adamek, and Adamek is a really tough dude, how Dawson completely outclassed is really something. Because of that I don't see Johnson winning at all, unless Dawson takes him lightly, which I doubt he will do.

Johnson would have beat Adamek imo, I think it will be a tough fight but dawson should win

Same date as Tarver - Woods.
