    He definately doesnt have a leaky defense. For a come forward type fighter, his defense, tho awkward is damn good.

    But this is hardly a NEW anything. Many of us have been pointing it out for quite some time now. In fact, it was one of the factors in me picking Tarver over Woods, I saw that only when Johnson upped the action did Clinton look good....but when he stayed tactical (which wasnt that often...but often enough for me to pick up on it) Woods looked lost. Now against a very good tactical fighter in Tarver, what else would you expect but to him to look terrible.

    Anyway, off on a tangent there....but I digress. This is hardly new news...Johnson DID get the **** end of the stick on not only close fights...but also on CLEAR victories that went the opposite way. Seeing another (close) fight go that rout is of course going to spark conversation, especially with people hearing about his robberies for the first time.
