      Can someone answer this question.

      Is Glen Johnson the guy Bernard Hopkins KNOCKED OUT 15 years ago?
      Or is this another Johnson.

      This the same Johnson?

        Saunders' movement, footwork and particularly speed are already A-level IMO. Unless he's chinny then he will go a long, long way

          This is an interesting fight, seing Sauders being pushed back but still being effective. A lot of pressure being put on.

          Good stuff.

            I sense a troll. Johnson is as tough as teak and was very inexperienced at the time of the Hopkins stoppage. His style also lends itself to longevity and he keeps himself in brilliant shape.

              I think Earl said that the other day. Agree with it.

              He looks hard to stop.

                Ok so I don't get it. Are you trying to 'up' Grove's win or trying to 'defend' Grove's loss?

                WHY DON'T we sit the hell down and call a spade a spade. Unless you are Bernard Hopkins. 43 is exactly how it sounds like... Old.

                  Blackwell's going to come back into this if Billy fights him inside.

                    Johnson is still somewhat competent at the top level and Groves is untested, it's not a guaranteed win.

                    EDIT: Spelling like a tard tonight.

                      Wasn't "upping" a Groves win or "defending" a potential loss, but rather defending Johnson as an opponent. And you can't very well say that 43 is old and then allow yourself an exception to your own rule with Hopkins. Johnson lives exactly the same, monkish sort of existence as Hopkins. He's a level below but where longevity's concerned why discredit him?
