    You're right, Johnson does have a better defense. But almost every punch he doesn't get hit with lands on his gloves and that looks bad to the judges. That also probably has to do with some of Johnson's close losses. Look at guys like Winky Wright and Clottey. Cloud is a better body puncher and he has a better jab to go along with better power. If he was up against a prime Johnson which was the version that KOd RJJ, I would give Glen a chance to beat Tavoris Cloud. But I just don't see it happening.

      I wonder if Cloud could stop him? But lets not get ahead of ourselves yet, Johnson still has to beat Mack and he does have some skill.

        true. i think glen gets knocked out by cloud. and i mean knocked out. johnson has slowed down alot and he just comes forward, i think he will walk right into clouds signature counter right hand and he will be sent to the canvas. theres only so much a 40 year old who is as shopworn as johnson can take

          I don't think Cloud will KO Johnson, but anything is possible. Look at what happened to Woods. The plug could've been pulled in that fight when Cloud practically put him in a guillotine with that left hook. Only the blade was going side ways.
