DeGuardia: Kevin Johnson, the world’s best heavyweight

[edgarg]

Writers' tricks.

The writer is very ingenious in his description of Klitschko's previous 3rd defence. However it's a very weak link, and the writer demonstrates a lack of credibility in not disclosing the TRUE facts of that 3rd defence.

Klitschko easily won every round except the last before the stoppage. Klitschko retired in that bout because he had rotator cuff tears from the 3rd round on. And STILL won nearly every round. The circumstances were then just the same as now, which is that only ONE opponent has ever finished a Klitschko fight on his feet, and Klitschko has KO'd every other opponent, of his many wins.

Not only that, but he has won almost every round in every fight, including the 2 where he lost because of injury.

I really believe we have never seen Kevin Johnsons full ability.
I think his power is a bit underrated, he did a bit more in his last fights and his last 3 where als stoppage wins. Hes verry fast for a big man, has a great jab which he used the most, but like a horse, hes never jumping higher than he has to. I believe its hard to say how good Johnson really is cause like i said, he never showed his full ability yet. But i really think hes a more difficult opponent for Vitalt than Arreola was. I believe Vitali will win, but he will have problems with this guy.

RE: Writers tricks (Edgarg)

Oh, my mistake... I didn't realize there were both facts and TRUE facts.

I guess I missed that day in genius school.

Without the extra 24 hours of knowledge that you clearly posess and I don't, I'll go with a simple garden-variety fact (lower-case letters)... which is that Klitschko lost his third WBO title defense to Chris Byrd. Period.

I didn't write about how he lost. I didn't write about where he lost. No assumption that Johnson would win because of any it was either stated or implied. It was simply a Klitschko fact - or, a TRUE fact, if you prefer.

And, if you read my tagline at the end... you see who I think will win.

FACTS, pffft... Just another one of those silly writer tricks, I guess.

Best jab in the world? Al least half as good as Wladimir`s ATG jab? That`s a serious statement there...
