    I wonder whether Kessler would be interested in fighting Johnson at 175 lbs, if he cannot land a fight against Taylor or Hopkins.

    Yeah but Glen is from the Caribbean isn't he? I don't really care anyway so I must have grown up thanks to you.

    Johnson has lived in the U.S since he was 14. When he says represented, I believe he just meant he thought Roy would have performed better. The statement was in no way racist.

    I like him okay, but Joe had injuries at the times Glen called him out...I believe Joe would have beaten him, in a close UD....But Glen lost to Woods. whom Roy TKo'd, and I am certain Joe would beat Clinton
    After seeing interview, there are 2 things with Glen I'd love to see,...either rematch Dawson, or be Joes' final fight :think:think:hi::think:think:happy

    I hope Roy will take a rematch with him, and then will see him much he talks after

    How many close fights has he won though? The problem is that pretty much every single close fight he's been in has gone against him, which is just flat out bad luck.

    Glen vs Calzaghe would be a good fight. Joe would probally win but Glen is a very good pressure fighter and would test Calzaghes chin late.

    still running from ya right glen. :yep

    good honest pro johnson.

    he does think the world's against him though.

    i thought dawson was a deserved 7 rds to 5 decision over him for what it's worth.

    Well **** me, wouldnt you be bitter if you(and 70% of showtime viewers) thought you won the fight?? The guy has been robbed more times in recent memory than any fighter in history!!!!

    Glen would back Joe up and force Joe out of his comfort range!! Just how many times have you seen Joe fight well on his back foot??? In the Kessler fight Joe was getting ****ed up on his back foot:deal

    Johnsons been talking about Roy every since he beat him which bothers me. He easily defeated him and knocked him out cold yet hes always called him out for a rematch. Plus Johnson would probablly still be who he was if Roy didnt give him that shot to make a name of him. Johnson was just a guy going around getting screwed everywhere until Roy gave him the shot Johnson won and got the 2 Tarver fights.

    He has a very high opinion of himself doesn't he :lol:

    Nothing new regarding Calzaghe, he still holds a grudge for the two postponed fights a few years ago.

    Bit harsh on Jones that was also.
