    I knew alot about Johnson before he beat Jones Jr.Honestly,most people looked past Johnson,and thats the last thing you should do against a pressure hardworking fighter like Johnson,and plus Jones was coming off a devastating KO loss and thats the last type of fighter you wanna try and rebound against.I thought it was crazy,and also funny that most people thought Jones would easily beat Johnson.


    I remember Johnson was suppose to fight Calzaghe before the Jones fight was ever made.If anyone,I think Johnson should thank Calzaghe for postponing their fight numerous times until Johnson got tired and pulled out of that fight to go ahead and take on Jones Jr.

      The answer to both is probably no, definitely is for the second. Johnson owes his career to Jones, because had he not KOed him, he would have been forgotten. Why did he get the match with Tarver? He beat Jones! If it weren't for the fight with Jones, he would still be sitting on his IBF belt, fighting for nickels, while Tarver made bigger money with other guys, because he KOed Jones before.

      Tarver and Johnson should really thank Jones for fighting and losing to them.
      But why did Jones want to fight Johnson? Could his IBF belt have anything to do with it? I think eventually the WBC and IBF title holders would have met up anyways.

        i know people would have said jones fought a paper champ and he needs to step up his competition. like jones has been saying for years he just "makes em look like nobodies" jones fought a lot of very good fighters that were simply overlooked because of the fashion he beat them. had this fight happened years earlier people would just have added johnson to the list of "nobodies" jones defeated.

          Samething goes for Tarver.If Jones beat Tarver clearly the first time,people would just have added Tarver to the list of "nobodies" that jones defeated.
