People wanted to see Ricardo Lopez move up to face him, but Lopez more or less took the Haglar route in the sense of dominated his division and being an all-time great/champion at his certain weight class....no duck on Lopez part.
Also there were talks of a Tapia bout, but Johnny pursued bigger bouts in higher weight classes.....on top of Tapia just outgrowing those divisions.
Crazy thing is Manny and Johnson were around the same weight class, if not same division at one point, but do to the sigsurat loss and him outgrowing the division, that fight wasn't possible as well.
At the end of the day, Johnson can't talk as his resume isn't the stuff of legends.....to put it nicely.
