    Reggie Johnson knocked down toney and tarver and had an iron chin himself. Does beterbiev have to show you more to win or do you think he could take prime Reggie now.

    That is a tough fight for Beterbiev. I think Johnson would weather the heavy storm and squeak out a razor close decision.

    The great Jorge Castro laid the blue print for beating Johnson. If Beter can aspire to that level, he may have a chance.

    It might. But, neither of those men box as well as Johnson. Until I see more facets to Beterbiev's game, I would still make Johnson a slight favorite.

    Prime Reggie was a middleweight but I still think Reggie ouboxes him
