"He's just depressed"

lol okay buddy.

Depression is an odd illness. It absolutely is a serious condition but, in my experience, long walks up mountains are far more likely to help your condition than being prescribed Anti-Depressants. In truth, none of us, including all the tens of millions of charlatans who call themselves Psychiatrists, Psychoanalysts, Psychotherapists etc have the faintest idea how a man's mind works. Fresh air & exercise & going easy on the sauce would always be my prescription. AND don't listen to eejets that tell you to believe in a supernatural power. That has never helped anyone.

Its quite hard reading that, Its obvious the death of his father really hit him hard. I always rated Johnson - was a very heavy puncher and would've KO'd the likes of Yarde and Buatsi in my opinion. Hope he manages to turn it around, it seems he's in quite a dark place.

Dude could crack. I always called him the British JSJ

Fair comparison

that would’ve been a great fight actually

Johnson is an interesting one. His only loss is to Beterbiev, no shame in that, dropped him too. There’s no real B or C level fighters on it. Pretty much all his other fights is him knocking out british and euro fighters.

I would’ve liked to see what he could’ve done against some second tier fighters at 175, maybe guys ranked 5-15. Probably could’ve been in some great fights and got a few decent wins

I had picked him to win against Joe Smith Jr to be honest. If he did, it would have been a good springboard for him.

That said, where were his promoters? Didnt they try and get him some more fights? The Smith fight was scheduled for early 2022 so what have his management been doing since?
