As heartbreaking as it is to see a guy like Glen Johnson decide enough is enough, it's refreshing to see a boxer know when the time has come. There are a few out there - I won't name names - that really should take a page out of the Road Warrior's book here.

Imagine the last time we were able to bring up the top 10s for the 168-175lb divisions without mentioning Glen Johnson's name in the mix... it's been a hell of a long time.

Imagine what his record would look like if he hadnt had all those bs decisions go against him early,but i am glad to hear he is hanging them up he still has his mind intact and a lot of life left to live.
