    Judah I, Sheika. A few others I haven't seen. It's not so much that he's been robbed a bunch of times, it's that the scores are almost always wider than they should be against him, and he's almost never gotten the benefit of a close decision.

    id say his 1st fight with dawson.id say the cloud fight could have went either way and he could have won atleast one against clinton woods.but check this out, if he dont ko froch its over him, so i hope he knows that.i have froch winning a ud, and not because i think froch is the better fighter its just that glen will lose if he cant stop froch and i dont think he will either.so he loses and that will be the story for the rest of his career.

    Johnson has gotten robbed more than any other active fighter. His a much better fighter than his record indicates.

    To call the first Dawson fight a robbery is ridiculous.

    Debatable, maybe. Robbery? Give me a ****ing break.

    Exactly, Dawson was hurt more but won more rounds.

    Reality check- the biggest win of Glen's career is an undeserved decision over Tarver.

    how you gone say that and then say his tarver win was undeserved :huh
    he out worked tarver the 1st time and if tarver would have fought like he did in the rematch then he would not have loss in the 1st place.

    Gotta disagree with you there, I'd place Johnson at #2 for current active fighters who has been robbed the most. Number 1 goes to Emmanuel Augustus.

    So objectively, how many losses should Glen Johnson have? I'm interested to know because even though my name is THE ROAD WARRIOR, I honestly haven't seen many of his fights prior to knocking out RJJ.

    He was in a lot of close fights and he didn't get the benefit of the doubt in many of them. I think the word robbery is thrown around far too liberally though.

    I thought he certainly beat Sheika, Judah and Woods x3. I'd have to watch some of the others again. The Dawson fight certainly wasn't a robbery though.

    the Woods fights were so close, to call them robberies would be ridiculous

    I agree. I'd hesitate to call any of his losses robberies.
