is Glen Johnson HALL OF FAME worthy?

Yes.

 

its a tough one with johnson, he had some success in weak 160 and 175 divisions but he was clearly out of his depth when he fought in a much tougher 168 division.

the best thing about johnson is that he exposed so many american hype jobs who the american public were brainwashed into thinking were great fighters like jones, dawson, tarver and griffin, so for this reason purely, i would include him.

 

IMO, no...He just didnt do quite enough to get in...A solid fighter but falls short of getting into the hall of fame.

 

Guys please ignore this guy.
He's well aware of the fact that Roy Jones jr is the best fighter that ever lived and he's also well aware of the fact that Glen Johnson never beat Tarver (I know he got the decision but he didn't actually win)
If you try to argue these points with him you're part of the problem.

Thanks for your cooperation

 

how could anybody have taken you seriously with a comment like that :roflatsch


you may as well have wrote "my name is VivaNazVegas and i could write everything i know about boxing on the back of a postage stamp" :deal

 

Very true .The boards need to rid themselves of these pests !

 

Pretty much what you need to do.:good

 

oh dear, has somebody interupted your deluded american fantasy life and injected a harsh dose of reality into your sorry existance by exposing your ignorant, delusional, narrow minded thinking with a series of irrefutable scientific facts that you have no comeback to :yep

 

See? he's getting desperate.
Just keep ignoring him and soon he's gonna either leave or break the rules which will result in him getting banned (again)

We're doing good:good

 

you've just responded to me whilst saying that

2 posts in this thread and you self pwned badly in both :roflatsch




" please ignore Team Elite General HEADBANGER,, he keeps writing facts about my idol and exposing the reality, its so hard to be a delusional fanboy with this man telling the god damm truth all the time " :crybaby
























" how dare his opinion differ to mine ":gayfight

 

Take away the knockout of a shot Jones and a questionable decision against Tarver, there isn't much on Johnson's record which is HOF worthy.

Even if you subscribe to the view that he deserved to win some of his losses, you still have a fighter struggling to beat the likes of Vanderpool, Sheika, Judah and Kiwanuka. He was also dominated by the one legitmately great fighter he faced in his prime (Hopkins).

The closest inductee to Johnson would probably be Zivic, who lost more often than not against the best fighters he faced and (even by the standards of the time) had a poor record in terms of numbers. The difference is that Zivic beat a near-prime Armstrong twice, and his tough losses were to Sugar Ray Robinson and Charley Burley, not Sven Ottke and Silvio Branco.

I'm a big fan of Johnson's, but he doesn't belong in the HOF.

 

i dont see why now....cal and jone fought nothing but cans and will make it

 

How in the hell can a group of people have Gatti in and Glen out.

 

atschatsch
He fought the best beat a lot of the best of his era and the next era ,Gatti was a bloody mess that would go to war with bumsatschatsch

 

People forget Gatti Ward at first was no bigger then a fnf main event.
