Glen Johnson - In 68 Fights He's NEVER been Ko'ed only once been Down(questionable)

I really hope your wrong, but this you got it wrong. Bute never talk in this way about any boxer and I'm pretty sure Bute will not start with Johnson.

 

oops beat me to it.

 

Well Johnson wasnt KO or even near KD by Froch a couple of months ago. You think that in these months Johnson will have lost it all? I know he is old, and all, but Bute is not fighting Johnson 2 years after the Froch fight, a couple of months thats all.

If somebody tells me that it wasnt a good win for Froch (before the fight happened) I guess he has the right now to say it will not be a good win for Bute. If not, dont put double standards. If Bute win either by UD or KO its not the win of the century, but it is a good win that will (I hope) give Bute some respect from doubters (not haters as they are a lost cause).

 

Bute will get credit for simply picking Glen. I am out of the loop, is their fight oficial?

 

After the Pavlik debacle, Team Bute said Johnson was one of the most probable names as replacement, Johnson said that he was always ready. But no official release yet.

Without having any inside, I would guess the fight to be official by the beginning of the week. Bute and his trainer are like training machines, they would want to know the opponent and start preparing as soon as possible.

 

He was just pissed about the controversy from their previous meeting. :yep

 

Bute would deserve credit but still doesn't deserve to be called anywhere near the best.....

 

anyone who thinks the hopkins tko over johnson is legit is an idiot :deal johnson was fine he can take a punch doesn't matter how many times hopkins hit him if the punches aren't hurting johnson.

 

Bute will hurt Johnson, but SOB Ward is so afraid of him that Bute was not allowed to fight in Ward's personal tournament, where Ward does not have to travel thousands of miles to fight, only his opponents have to travel, and Ward's head butts are legal, that is for him..............

 

Humberto Soto has never been down in his career either.

 

Johnson was an ok win for Froch. In the sense that it all helps. But really it was a step down from the last many opponents Froch has faced. Froch came from an awesome string of star opponents and Johnson was the first lower level opponent he has had for a while. The upside was that it happened in the US and helped give Froch more exposure there. So overall it certainly was a good win for Carl but in no way a win over an elite opponent.

It was no elite win for Froch and it won't be an elite win for Bute.

 

You must be new to boxing if you thing manner if winning means much.

Ward almost never KOs opponents. So in your world we could go back an find someone ward UDed and see what bums managed to KO that person... Then that fighter would be elite because he stopped the bum and Ward won an UD?

WRONG!

It is just styles. Says very little about how good someone is.

Everyone would expect Bute to win because while sturdy, johnson is in no way elite. If Bute wins a legit KO then it would be a bonus. It would add a bit to the win given that johnson has never been stopped before. But it won't suddenly make johnson elite

 

You're talking about it likes it's some foregone conclusion.
