Dumb ass couldn't win graciously. Said "I like it when they quit" after Vargas' corner threw in the towel. I'd love to see Chris Arreola knock his ass out. Vargas isn't very good and made Johnson look like something he isn't. He's still lackluster and only showed "courage" after feeling Vargas' feather fists. Johnson is my new most-detested fighter.
What is your problem exactly? None of your whining there really provided a very substantive catalyst for your ire. :huh I think maybe you're just a hater for the sake of hating. :thumbsup Get a hobby.
I enjoyed the fight as well but the only reason the fight wasn't your typical Johnson snore-fest was that Vargas couldn't knock the dust off a dandelion. Johnson is not the answer for Americans looking for a potential great heavy. Arreola would eat his lunch.
D+, and no. Johnson is the B right now. The Arreola love on this board is ridiculous, he has virtually no upside.
C'mon man, he gave Vargas his props after the fight. He even nodded a few times during the fight when Vargas ate a big shot. He showed respect. "Classless" is that nonsense Gary Stark Jr. pulled a few weeks back.
He is way better that that. So he doesn't have alot of skill he makes up for in with his relentless style. D+ would be the fat cab driver that gets a fight on late notice that we see once in a while on FNF
All I know is if boxing was mainly guys like Arreola as opposed to guys like Johnson I'd bail on it altogether. Thank goodness for the lower weights, since Cristobal seems to be the prototype for the unlimited division. :good All the Johnson backlash comes from one of two things: 1) Haye fans still butthurt that he dared call out the Greatest 1-0 heavyweight of all time to try and drum up some buzz and self-promote (which is what, you know, every unrepresented DIY fighter does) 2) People who have a preconceived notion of what the "next best American heavyweight" is supposed to look like (and are offended that Kingpin doesn't fit it). Like Arreola. People want a monster. Well, maybe one's not coming. Maybe stfu and accept what you've got. Which is a handful of talented guys who can scoop up and trade belts, but will not bring the glory of being "the man" back to the US until both Klits retire. Maybe stop putting that responsibility on the shoulders of every guy that comes along. Maybe give up on the idea of a savior. Maybe accept that the world doesn't bend to your wills. :good
