Would Glenn Johnson given Joe problems

[xxjace]

if it was so easy, then I dunno why calz ducked... i mean pulled out of the fight 2x.

yeah I never understood that either...I think joe would have pulled it off but it would not be easy at all..

[xxjace]

Or Joe could have won a massively wide UD and Johnson would have become a bum with 13 losses.

if joe fought a few names he would have probably had some losses...joe fought alot of ????mystery men and a few tough fights so.....

He fought 9 World champions and given that two of the belts where held by ottke who wouldn't fight outside Germany where no one would have beaten him outside a KO (and no matter what you say about Ottke there was nothing wrong with his chin)

Eubank
Brewer
Mitchell
Reid
Woodhall
Lacy
Kessler
Hopkins
RJJ

throw in 7-8 up and comers with less than 3 losses on there records billed at the next big thing, the fact is the only three major fighters Calzaghe didn't fight are Johnson, Ottke and Echols.

Johnson Vs Calzaghe is much discussed, Echols pulled out through injury and then lost to Mundine and Ottke wasn't interested.

glencoffe would win

Glen Johnson can give anyone problems.. Tough dude with heart

[Frank Martin]

Glen could give Joe a tough fight and possibly knock him out.

Johnson would have been massacred. His pressure fighting would have him walking on to everything Calzaghe threw, negating Joe's biggest weakness - his power. Johnson would have been faced with a faster, more skilful, southpaw, Johnson.
And anyone bringing up the Roy Jones fight as an example of how difficult it is to keep Johnson off you needs to remember that Jones was the most gun-shy he had ever been in his career. There was one nine minute stretch during the fight where Jones landed seven punches. That's less than one punch a minute for three whole rounds.

johnson is kryptonite for most southpaws
and you need foot movement against him
calzaghe is good at avoiding punches and shizz, but his feet are usually stuck to the ground when he's moving his head

i see johnson punchin his head in and getting robbed in the end

What do yall think NSB?

He would give Joe problems but he would not win imo. Joe always has trouble with these rough you up type guys like Reid, Bika and Glen would be no different.

[The_Demon]

he would give him problems no doubt,but he doesnt have the cagey defensive style that joe really struggles with so id say 116-112 for calz or something like that,though he may have too pick himself up off the canvas once
