    Seems the general consensus is, other than Bowe and Louis, size counts for virtually everything in boxing.

    Or, in this case, the skill, punching power, and styles matchups.

    I think Johnson would beat Wlad.

    He throws very compact punches, and great uppercuts. He's very adept at controlling the pace of the fight, and he takes away his opponent's best weapon.

    He's a heavyweight version of Bernard Hopkins.

    He would use foot movement to prevent Wlad from setting his feet, and use feints and his jab to set Wlad up.

    He would explode with combinations, and when Wlad ties him up, he would throw viscious uppercuts in the clinch.

    This all depends on how Wlad's chin holds up, but I think Johnson picks him apart and possibly KOs him.

    Look at the first 15 rounds of Johnson vs Williard.

    Johnson is beating the hell outta Williard before he gets stopped in the 87th round.
