    If Babic gets the trial horse Johnson in his next fight how does it go, assuming over 8 rounds?

    Can’t see Eddie even contemplating this match up , even though Johnson is now literally a punching bag . He could still make. Crude fighter like Babic look awful . This fight could spell disaster for the match room hype machine if it was made.

    Babic does what Dubois, Hrgovic, Gorman, Ruiz, Pulev and Fury couldn't and stops Johnson.

    If so I imagine a ref stoppage while he is on his feet

    Johnson stoppage... Dont rate Babic.... Limited doorman.. Johnson should take him on attrition...

    Babic throwing 200 a round.. Johnson throwing one

    Johnson stops him homer Simpson style

    Maybe now but not a chance if he fought Kingpin at the respective times of the guys you mentioned

    Kingpin has always been nothing more than durable punchbag.

    Got stopped over 5 years ago by AJ in 2 rounds. Since then gone the distance with Pulev,Dubois, Hrgovic and Ruiz. Got stopped by Bakole last year though.

    Exactly, in general didnt get stopped

    I should have used the word rarely instead of never admittedly

    The AJ stoppage at the time was quite impressive

    Lol I like Babic but I'd back Johnson to beat him if he came with the intention to win. Johnson's crafty enough to blunt Babic's best shots and would probably get stopped due to exhaustion. If I were Eddie and Babic, I'd stay away from the kingpin.

    Babic should call out Dave Allen, or vice versa. Allen should come out of retirement for one more fight. If he beats Babic, he steals his hype and can make a huge fight with AJ when Pulev pulls the upset with a super jab KO.

    Vitali Klitschko didn't stop him either, but Johnson was in full survival mode for the entire fight.

    But Johnson is faded now, and more easily stopped than at that time. Joshua almost took his head off when he knocked him out.
