    I think Johnson showed a lot of skill, more than Vitali's other recent opponents, but agree with everyone who wrote he has problems pulling the trigger. He'll be back in top fights soon enough, the division is that weak. And when he gets there, he'll probably beat 90% of the heavyweights out there. It was very strange to see him talk so much ****. I don't think I've ever seen someone lose so decisively and still talk **** the whole time.

        This probably says more about Vitali's weakness than it does about Johnson's ability.

        Vitali gets hurt the most by jabs, look what an old version of Lennox Lewis (one of the best jabbers in the sport) did to his face. Imagine what a young Larry Holmes might've done.

        So the question is, who in the HW division (besides the Klitschko brothers) has the best jab, and throws it often?

          Dude has potential, he needs a new trainer though to teach him how to pull the trigger.

                His natural instinct was to make clown faces and taunt.

                I totally don't get it. Someone cracks me, they are getting it back even I get hit again trying to do it.

                That's for damn sure.

                That was maddening him doing that.

                People should only showboat after they do something not showboat after they get punched with no intention of returning fire.

                      Vitali's face was bruised before the fight from sparring...
                      Vitali spars without headgear and very intensely...
                      Johnson's punches let the bruises be seen more clearly...
