    Nope, he got a severe beating from what I remember.

        I heard Johnson tried to fight B-Hop on the inside, and he got torn up. But it's pretty obvious that Johnson is an inside fighter. I can't imagine Johnson dancing and jabbing.

          Hopkins kicked Johnson's ass, who if I remember correctly I think was undefeated.

            johnson changed his boxing style the last few years. when he was getting robbed on espn boxing cards he was a classical boxer who had a great jab/uppercut but did not let his hands go. basically, he didn't throw shoeshine punches - and he did not throw enough. when he fought hopkins he was the same classical boxer who did not like to let his hands go and fight offensive.

              Well when you have Glen Johnson himself saying that Hopkins had an answer for everything he did, I would say it was pretty one sided

              Lets not forget that Johnson fought Hopkins when Bernard was in his early 30's...Hopkins was a much more aggressive fighter back then

                That fight was very one sided. Johnston just took a constant beating all night. Did well to last as long as he did!

                    nope. At the time Johnson was undefeated. But hopkins pretty much picked him apart. HE didn't stop him though. I believe the ref stopped the right after johnson took too many right hands.
