    Not going to lie, I loved this guy for years. I met him a few times and he was a true gentleman. I don't think he's one of the ATG's but he was damn good and he was ALWAYS prepared.

    Thank you Glen for the memories, you will be missed!

    Boxing will miss him. He made the best of his career, and went out with a decent losing performance.

    Congratulations to Glen Johnson on an absolutely amazing career. The Road Warrior was special among today's fighters in having so many fights, in winning his first world title in his 51st fight at age 35, and, perhaps most of all, never being afraid to fight an opponent on his home turf. He fought whoever, whenever, and only in his last two fights did he finally start showing his age. Boxing could not possibly have a better ambassador than this man. Hopefully he has saved his money, is in good health, and is ready for the next phase of his life. My best wishes to him.

    With all the wars he had, I hope he doesn't get anything serious in the coming years. (Ditto Mickey Ward)

    Glen Johnson a journeyman G.

    Had he beaten all the guys he's fought, we'll call him ATG.

    I think yeah.
