Thankyou for taking part, but... How did you get to that conclussion? Look at G Johnsons resume In 12 SMW fights Johnson has lost 6 of them. Johnson has lost at SMW to - M Sosa who had 5 losses and 2 draws, and lost his next 2 fights after beating Johnson Kiwanuka who had 3 losses and 2 draws, had lost his last 2 fights coming into his fight with Johnson and his fight after Johnson Ottke 16-0 who in fairness was an outstanding SMW boxer Vanderpool 27-1 who lost his next fight, but in fairness that was at MW to Hopkins and Vanderpool had a good run after Branco 38-4-2 who was a world class SMW and became WBA LHW champ Sheika who was 19-1 and lost his next fight, though in fairness that was to Calzaghe. The SMWs that Johnson has managed to beat Campas 3-20-4 coming off of only 2 losses and won his next fight Watson 24-16-1, Johnson was his last fight Renteria 9-23-5 coming in, whos last 10 fight record before facing Johnson was 0-8-2 Zimmerman 15-2-0 coming in, who had lost his previous fight and the one after A Green 29-2-0 coming in and Johnsons biggest SMW victory Its not impressive now is it. Please spare me the robbery talk. If any rated SMW losses to Johnson it wont look good on their resume This content is protected To think beating Green was all Johnson had to do to become a Ring rated SMW in todays ratings
Do you not think Steiglitz with a win resume consisting off Berrio, undefeated Gutknecht and undefeated Balzsay is better than Johnsons SMW resume. If it wasnt for Steiglitz losses to Berrio in a return and Andrade, I would have put him above Ward, as Ward only has one real noted win against Kessler
Which of these SMW fights did you think Johnson was robbed in. I felt he was out boxed and beaten by Ottke and felt Sheika did enough, also didnt mind the decision in favour of Branco
Roy Jones James Toney Andre Ward Lucian Bute Andre Dirrell Robert Stieglitz Glen Johnson Glen Johnson doesn't have one good win at Super Middleweight, Exactabox you're ****ed. He did beat Sheika though, Branco was a close fight, other than that there's nothing.
I felt Sheika beat Johnson, but It was close. How did you rate Dirrell above Steiglitz? Dirrells only big win was a former MW in Abraham who has shown that he is not a good SMW. Dirrells other noted wins like Hanshaw etc arent very good. Steiglitz has beaten and lost to IBF champ Berrio, undefeated WBO champ Balzsay, undefeated Gutknecht, and beaten other fighters equal to the fighters like Hanshaw
Please state the SMW robberies you that you feel were or even fights you feel were robberies outside of SMW
You can switch Stieglitz and Dirrell it's pretty much the same to me, they mostly fought bums. But Dirrell i see as a little bit better fighter so i rated him above just for that reason. Both shitty resumes so far.
Remember also that Jones only big win at SMW was Toney, and Toney has a poor SMW resume (not as poor as his LHW resume)
Im playing. I am a big BHOP fan so naturally was happy when BHOP whooped GJ. Johnson has no good wins and cries on borderline decisions. I always wanted RJJ to fight better but he rarely stepped up to the plate. Toney is awesome. Loved watching him fight. I used to watch his fights 2 and 3 times to see how he escaped punches on the ropes. Not a fan of Dirrell. He did get robbed vs froch. Bute is talented. Ward is gonna be an annoying fighter. Stieglitz is going to be in a bad car accident. I hope im wrong about that.
Iran Barkley Charles Williams Tony Thornton Tim Littles Doug DeWitt Is better than any current SMW resume. The only fighters resume that comes close is Carl Froch, he could probably overtake it if he wins against Glen Johnson.
Interesting. I was only rating on resumes not potential. How did you get Ward above Bute I agree Bute hasnt fought the top guys yet but look at resumes overall but Andrade was at #3 when Bute beat him. Bute beat Bika - better than Ward, Miranda - better than Ward, Andrade twice, Joppy, Zuniga, better than Cloud and Cloud beating Zuniga has put him above Dawson Brinkley Berrio - Holds a win over Steiglitz Magee who is a European champ and world rated fighter who hadnt lost in 10 fights In world title fights. You could also note Mock, Tatvosyan and Salem Ward has beaten Kessler - A very good win better than any name on Bute resume but remember that Kessler was an unwell fighter Miranda Green - who lost to Miranda Bika Next Abraham on a winning run of 1 injury victory and then 2 losses the last being very decisive You could also note Buchanan Now Wards victory over Kessler isnt better overall than Andrade, Berrio, Zuniga etc
