    If the Froch fight goes the way I expect I would quite like to see this fight.

    I will be supprised if it happens but its definately a fight I would pay to watch.

    I could see Arthur getting a late KO in this one but equally I could see Johnson outboxing him for the decision.

    Think it would be a close fight, what do you reckon?

    Johnson's taken heavier shots at a higher weight and i think he'd break AA's heart with his pressure and work to the body which AA can't handle.

    Johnson wins

    I can see Johnson getting right on top of AA right from the 1st bell, and keeping the pressure up until Abraham gets pulled out by his corner in the later rounds.

    I would bet my life savings on a Johnson win, (about £16).

    I know Arthur obviously struggles with the pace but I just think Glencoffe might slow down just enough that arthur catches him.

    I do think its a pretty even fight though, or do you see it one sided?

    Wegner doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that would pull him out.

    He always reminds me of the russion officer that drago picks up by the throat in RockyIV!!!

    would make perfect sense to have this on the undercard of Froch Ward

    AA only seemed to have enough in him for 2, maybe 3 decent rounds against Ward. If he's not strong or fit enough to deal with Ward, he's got no hope against Johnson.

    It wouldn't be pretty to watch, but AA would end up getting battered in my opinion.

    Johnson is too sly, too busy, and has the chin to beat Arthur up.

    Another drubbing and I cannot see Arthur continuing to go the distance. He's tough and holds his hands up, but Johnson would break him.

    Abraham would destroy Pavlik though IMO. Make that fight! Dirrell should be coaxed into a comeback for a fight with Glencoffe :yep

    I agree.

    They could get them to form a guard of honour for the winner which would be cool!

    #What a card that would be.

    I was coming up with political boxing fights last night in the pub.

    My two personal favourites were Mad Dog Gadaffi vs Wladamir Putin

    and Prince Phillip vs Mo Alfyed (or however it is spelt).

    Johnson is a footy player.

    On a serious note, Johnson wins.

    I can see Gadaffi being a real handful, sorta like a bigger Duran!

    Putin is all MArtial arts and **** so I reckon he'd be quick and would obviously have the refs and judges on side!

    Johnson clearly. Not sure how much motivation AA has left for the game.

    I'm really not sure where Abraham goes from here.

    Maybe trying to get down to 160 took plenty out of him, and after the move up just didn't have it anymore.

    Plus, with his lack of height and reach.... he'd need footwork and explosiveness to be able to succeed at the higher weight. He's not neither, which was obvious in his three losses.

    If he does carry on I hope he doesn't just become an opponent, he's given us some good nights and could easily have quit in his last couple of big fights and taken the money.

    There's a level of fighter that he'd beat, and most probably dominate easily. After that, there's opponents that suit him stylewise. Other than that, at the top level he's goosed and bound to look bad.

    If there's anything not right about him he'd get ****ed by Johnson. Both Froch and Ward respected his power for the vast majority of their fights with him.... Johnson has taken bombs from everybody and never flinched. Could see a late retirement in this one.
