    Johnson likes to put alot of pressure, it would be an interresting fight
    Cant pick a winner here , im a little biased towards Johnson since he is one of my most favorite fighters

    Johnson was the fighter of the year in 04 I think, he beat Tarver and Jones that year. He definitely got more power than slap boxer Joe, but has the obvious hand speed advantage. I think Johnson might be able to get him out of there late in the fight.

    Calzaghe would win a wide point decision against Johnson.
    Yes,Johnson beat the overrated Roy Jones,and that totally overrated American Tarver who struggles with Albanian journeyman,but he would be no match for Joe.
    Ottke defeated Johnson relatively easily,and Johnson was in his prime.
    Johnson also lost to Branco.
    Johnson is a tough nut to crack,but no real top fighter IMO.
