    I thought Glen Johnson was fighting Clinton Woods next for the IBF title, as Glen is the mandatory challenger for the title.

    Clinton Woods has improved as well as a fighter since they met last time. They've already fought twice, with 1 draw and a win for Glen. I think Clinton would win this time.

      I think Joe C can beat Johnson. Although he's relentless, I think Joe's fast enough to keep him off of him. Could be Joe/Lacy II. And now that I saw Joe/Lacy(finally) last week, I can speak about it. What kind of corner would allow their fighter to take all that punishment and let the fight to go on for 12 rounds?? The corner should've stopped the fight, Lacy could've been seriously hurt.

Dont get me wrong I like both RJJ and JC but they both had their teams making the right decisions for them which sometimes and in there case is the wrong decisions because he cant get credit when he beats a b and c class fighter.

        You think he was sure he could beat Lacy, when practically nobody gave him a chance??

          For real. That was some beating that Lacy took in his fight with Calzaghe. I hope Calzaghe/Johnson happens though. I think it would be more competitive than Calzaghe/Lacy, hence making it more exciting. Since I am cheering for Joe to retire undefeated, such a competitive match will lead to greater anticipation to see if he is able to pull it off.

                Johnson needs to go back down and take that fight if it was offered. He can make 175, but not 168? thats nutz...
