    The Road Warrior still has a few more miles left on the clock. Which route?

    I would like to see him in with Steiglitz at 168, but he probably would get robbed in Germany.

    At 175 he would be a great Cleverly opponent

    I doubt highly the German's would offer Johnson a fight...

    He'd beat Cleverly IMO. He could well drop him...people talk about Froch's defence...:lol: Clev's is **** as well.

    He'd murder Degale right now.

    I'm still suprised he was able to make 168. He must be killing himself to make it, at his age if he plans on carrying on for a while then back to 175 would seem the logical option.

    Johnson is no more than a gate keeper now.He will be used to build up younger fighters records.It's over.

    Yeah but with all the hype around the Super 6 atm there could be some good fights out there for him amongst some of the 2nd tier guys

    He won't get fights against the very elite, and nobody under that level would entertain fighting him.

    He's gonna struggle to get matched from here on in.

    There's a certain level of fighter that he'll beat easily, above that he'll win four rounds against the top guys and lose a decision.

    I'd rather see him call it quits than become a stepping stone, but then again he's not getting bashed up at all so still has a future in the 168-175 divisions.

    could see Johnson vs Bute getting made if Kessler doesn't happen. would also be good opponent for Dirrell.
