As it stands, I think he falls just short. But if he beat Andre Ward in the finals he definitely deserves strong consideration at the very least despite all the close losses on his record. For everybody's info, though I don't think Johnson will win another fight in this tournament because the judges won't let him. I think he can give Froch, Abraham, and Ward tough fights and appear to do enough to get the decision against them. But the judges will already have their scores filled out for those guys.
If Johnson wins the super six, he should make it to the Hall of fame.

If he wins another fight in the tournement he should go in the HOF. If he beats Abraham or Froch and loses valiantly to Ward, that's definitely enough -
Johnson will probably make it to the Hall Of Fame even if he doesn't win another fight in his career.Comment

somehow his place would msyteriously go to someone who didnt deserve it... story of his career...
even the one stoppage loss was a bit unfair... b-hop was punishing him but he was still game
i thnk he's already a hofer, he's the all time undisputed underdogComment

thats what Im thinking, too. He gave the rising youngstars real tough fights and maybe beat some of them in the opinions of the fans and all that in the later stage of his career at his age. just amazing
