    This is a toss up I think Johnson could give Froch fits.

    I'm surprised by the number of people who talk as if Froch will beat Johnson easily. Johnson is relentless, very skilled, and extremely hard to hurt. Nobody at 168-175 "runs over" Glen Johnson.

    I'll be rooting for The Road Warrior, like I usually do, but I expect Froch to win a fight that is much tougher and closer than a lot of people anticipate.

    I expect this to be a very close fight . Unless we see an old Johnson this should be a very close fight ..

    I really like gj... but I am a legit fan of froch, so I hope he wins. The respect they have for the other is awesome to see. I hope to see GJ back in the winners circle after this.

    For those thinking froch will have an easy time w him, almost nobody has an easy time with the road warrior, and his win against green is better then wards was. This will b a good fight. But froch should have the youth and strength to edge this.

    Tough fight and i dont rule out Johnson but think Froch might take it by decision.

    I think Johnson coming down in weight and making it to the championship would help is legacy. However, froch I don't consider a future hall of famer. He has more to prove to say the least.
