Reggie Johnsons Comeback

[oldgringo]

What's up with this? Is the guy just bitter because he has lost so many damned close decisions? Does he think he has a shot at a title, three years after losing to Tarver?

He has already beaten some guy, but I haven't heard word on his fight plan. So what is it? Is he strapped for cash or does he think he has a shot at Tarver should he put together 5 meaningless wins or so?

He has to be in his late 30's now.

Yeh. He beat Fred Moore. I think he stands a chance. If he can get active, he can get some good wins. All of the upper-echelon at light heayv is pretty old. It's odd, I think he would have a harder time with guys lower on the pound for pound list like Paul Briggs and Tomazs Adamek.

Good point about all of the light heavy tops being older. I didn't really think about that, it just seems like it's a moot point for Johnson at this point in time. Seeing as how he's a had 3 year layoff, I don't know why he'd think he'd have a better shot to beat a top guy now.

I agree that the younger, more active guys with some pop would give him all kinds of trouble. Did you happen to catch what happened in the fight with Moore at all? How'd he win?

Thanks for the link.


Coming back focused...
'At my age I'm coming back focused. I told my agent Kerry Daigle I would be willing to meet anyone from the top 15 in the world. I've gotta do what I've got to do to get to that title shot. I'm willing to fight anybody.

Interesting. I wonder if Johnson can be successful.
