[QUOTE=PBP.;16373747]Not surprising. I guess you can say its another mismatch but there isn't any other alternative.[/QUOTE]
There are top ten guys he hasn't fought that would be a little bit more deserving than Johnson
There are alternatives...maybe they didn't like the fights offered...who'd they have lined up as options?

He is a top 10 guy. He should not be a mandatory but he is not a bad choice considering what is left at 160 for GGG.

No idea how hell this kid Johnson is a mandatory right now, the only legit opponent he's ever faced was Curtis Stevens and he got stopped in this fight! If it wasn't for the TKO loss to Stevens I would've given Johnson a bit of a chance to give GGG some problems because of his style, but if you don't have A level chin, stamina and punch resistance against GGG it's a short night for you. Would be funny if they try to make a PPV out of this, GGG will be at least 25-1 favorite (which is not the first time) going into the fight.

1) Canelo-zzz
2) GGG
3) Jacobs - Haymon
4) BJS - gun git peid
5) Heiland - lol. No money, no titles, 4 losses.
6) Lemieux - done that
7) Andy Lee - doesn't have a belt, and his promoter would never make the fight bc it has a high chance of putting Lee on a losing streak from which will be hard to recover
8) Quillin - Haymon
9) Eubanks - big mouth, nothing else
10 Geale - done that.
And once again..
