Chuvalo - WBC Champ!

Look, moron. During Roy Jone's LHW stint, Roy could of easily finished off his opponents. Fact is, he would rather be 'safe' and win a decision on the cards so he wouldn't have to take any punches. Johnson was the same way.

no, johnson liked to carry the fight to inflict more punishment on white boxers. he didn't do it to as you put it, "play it safe".

I meant to say he was the same way as Roy as he wouldn't really exert himself and was content to win on points, which he WAS.

Of course, Chuvalo would have walked away from this conversation a couple pages back.

i heard the same thing about johnson, that he liked to punish white fighters, but he was kind of a safety first fighter from what ive seen of him.
