Comments Thread For: Tureano Johnson Targets Cotto, Golovkin Showdowns

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW JERSEY - Gary Shaw Productions' middleweight contender, Tureano Johnson (18-1, 13 KOs), is looking for the biggest fights in the division. Currently rated WBC #2, WBA #3, IBF #8 and WBO #13, Johnson is riding a 4-fight winning streak with the hopes of landing a world title shot.

Tureano's only blemish is a controversial TKO loss to Curtis Stevens in which he was winning on all scorecards before the referee stopped the bout in the final round.

[ricodonjefe]

True he ain't ready for the big doggs but I have feeling ggg might fight him anyways .. Everyone who has a title is lined up rite now cotto and canelo in talks...lemiux needs to fight Ndam.*...Andy lee shoulder injury in quillen fight...Froch hanging them up...Eubank and Saunders rematch talks....open Fedor chedunov, tureano johnson,quillen I would like to see him fight ggg but doubt them fighting, jacobs,Lara willing move up in weight...

He should've atleast had a stay busy fight by now. This guy has no significant wins in his career. He's got an entertaining style, seems to be a good fighter, but he needs a little something to back it up.

First chance he can get away from Gary Shaw, he needs to do it.

A fight with Heiland will be interesting. Both need start fighting more and have more exposure to achieve a word title opportunity.

The guy impresses me with his stay busy style. I'd like to see him busier, maybe vs top 10 MWs. 10 3/4 rounds he was beating Stevens... not that that says much (especially now), but it shows he can avoid bombs.

Get a fight with a contender, and win. This is the best way to get a title opportunity. At least it used to be.

GGG should fight Lara, Johnson is no worthy challenger yet.

[NEETzsche]

if johnson beats heiland next then i'll consider him a worthy contender for any of the middleweight straps

[UNBIASED BOXING]

GGG should fight Lara, Johnson is no worthy challenger yet.

I'd like to see that, but there is no guarantee Lara would even take the fight. If the fight happened, I could see it at 160--- otherwise GGG will tell Lara to take a hike.


I think this will end up being the next GGG fight. Nobody else will be available/fight him.
