Glen Johnson is a harder puncher than given credit for

[Crazylegs77]

I always hear commentators mention how Glen isn't the hardest puncher when he is fighting but can get you out of there with his pressure. Just to give you a statistical idea, he has 51 wins and 35 by stoppage and Manny P another fighter who uses pressure has 51 wins and 38 by stoppage but is known and regarded as a puncher.

Glen Johnson can crack and its not just his relentless pressure I have seen him with not a series but a single clean shot hurt several fighters like Rjj, Dan Judah, and recently Allan Green to name a few.

Do you think he is a hard puncher, is his power a bit underrated, and why is that if so?

he really is not sure why people underestimate his power or judges dont seem to count his punches.

AND?

It was a 1 punch KO, i dont understand what you are arguing

Proof is in the pudding

that one punch ko that came after lots of punishment doesn't make Glen a one punch ko artist...

moreover, he scored it over RJJ, a man wh had just been ko'ed and has since went on to get ko'ed by a grazing shot

[Tiozzo]

You are presuming that because he is a pressure fighter that his stoppages are more a product of his workrate when really he just needs to get that hard right hand through. Look here at 2:20 against Yusaf Mack how he distracts Mack by putting a few jabs in his view then the straight right hand the same one that ko'd Roy puts Mack down and Glen finishes the job at around 4:00 with the right again.



To suggest that he is an average puncher like the equivalent as a SMW/LHW to what Floyd is as a WW is laughable.

don't make up things

I've said a decent puncher, and a decent puncher is better than an average pucher in my book

you making up things is laughable


I don't think he just needs to get that hard right hand through
I think he needs to get many of those right hands through to score a KO on anyone who has an ok chin, something Jones appears not to have since Tarver knocked him out, then Glen, then Green with a grazing shot, and maybe he never had a good chin to begin with, who knows ?

Yusaf Mack that dude can't handle pressure, Andrade beat him up before Glen, and Glen didn't knock him out senseless like he ko'ed Roy, so you still don't have much of a point here

that one punch ko that came after lots of punishment doesn't make Glen a one punch ko artist...

True but he certainly has better than average power and most of his at least recent kds or stoppages stem from his pressure setting him up to land that hard right hand which the video evidence will show has plenty of force behind it.

[Tiozzo]

He definlty has pop,but is not a one punch guys he softens you up a bit first.

spray doesn't seem to get that

really, it's joke
Glen scores a ko over Green, a man who lost everytime he stepped in with good opposition, and now Glen is all of a sudden a one punch ko artist

Glen Johnson is a harder man than people give him credit for. War Johnson.

Wow I can't understand the reason behind your hate for Glen "powerhitter" Johnson when he is either hurting or stopping guys all of the time with those brutal power shots

A man who has also never been ko'd until he felt the insane ko power of Glen "coffee" Johnson.!!!!!

the subject of the thread was ''is Glen's power underrated'', not ''does he have better than average power'', which he has

do you still think you have a case, honestly ?

Miranda was well on his way to knock Green out
Ward hits like a girl
