    not only that, but Johnson isn't getting any younger. He'll be 40 soon. The rematch needs to happen ASAP.

      Speaking of the WBC, I saw this picture today and I instantly felt dirty. Took a shower immediately after viewing (I suggest you do the same):

          Chad Dawson will beat him again more convincingly. The old man showed thou he can still catch every shot you throw at him and keep coming.

            Dawson will win a wider decision in a rematch.

            Johnson's 12 losses have come mainly because of his mediocre workrate, and that's not going to improve at his age.

              I agree, this will be a good rematch. However, I think the outcome will be the same, even if it is only because of the huge age difference. I do not agree with anyone who says Glen Johnson won the first match up. It was close, but definitely not close enough to give it to him. All the judges saw it the same way 116-112. If Johnson wouldn't have whined about it after the fight so much, we would not be discussing it today.

                anyway, I hope Chad takes it. fight was really close and Chad needs to understand that if a lot of people believe he didnt win, it doesnt translate into bargaining chips for his next fights. he needs to win convincingly.
                I dont think they can do that, but it would be nice wouldn't it? Cotto is a WBA Title holder and not ranked in the WBC Ranking I think...

                  I'm kind of excited to see what Byrd can do at LHW.

                      doesn't this ruin his chances of fighting Antonio Tarver though?
