    Lots of people care.

    Unbeaten but untested prospect vs gatekeeper is a good matchup.

      Haye had the home referee that didn't count the knockdown by Barrett, and let Haye rabbit punch and hit & hold.

      But beating Barrett won't make Johnson a top conterder, it will establish him more as a fringe contender. Johnson's last opponent was pot-bellied and not even in the BoxRec top 150 heavyweights.

          Tunny, seriously, who cares? He still would've KO'ed him 10 seconds later. Why do people still rag on about this, when the end was coming regardless?
