    Yes...it's relative criticism, relative to expectations of him being a Top 15 p4p, as he was for me, Amsterdam, brooklyn1550, huki, etc.

    I had Johnson winning at least rounds 3,5,7,10,11,12. Given that he hurt Dawson badly in the 10th, he should certainly not have been only given 4 rounds...a draw would have been much fairer and Dawson would have kept the title too.

    Well, I would submit that if you look at the top 10 P4P fighters now, they have had losses and tough fights against non P4P fighters which didn't temper the expectations of their career path too much. But they did receive a fair amount of criticism for their tough fights. IE, Castillo-Mayweather, or Cotto-Torres, Hatton-Collazo.

    Perhaps a more even keeled approach on both ends.

    That's exactly what Margo did with Winky

    Shane doesn't bring in the money that Hatton does. His fight against Collazo had a pathetically low attendence fighure. The fight against Cotto wasn't even sold out. Yeah, Mosley said he would fight Mayweather after Hoya, but Floyd said he would fight Mosley when he was at 140.


    Team Margo made a $4 mill offer to Winky. If only intended to fight at 147, then why did they make the offer? Why did they go around claiming Winky ducked Maro when he turned down the low ball offer? If turning down an $8 mill offer makes you a coward(Floyd made at least that much against Baldo), then what does that make Shane? Shane also turned down $8 mill from Margo, and $12 mill from Oscar.

    I liked Glen Johnson but he's acting like a real ***** right now and a CRYBABY. LMAO@ Him making videos on YOUTUBE crying like a girl. Get over it Glen you lost.. YES it was a VERY CLOSE fight but you LOST! If you really wanna see a ROBBERY Glen then go watch how Ike Quartey got ROBBED against Vernon Forrest.. You don't see Ike making youtube videos crying like a *****.. Be a man Glen and stop crying seriously. You LOST

    Hmmm...Johnson would have had to have won 8 rounds clearly to get a draw, it seems. To win, he would have had to have won 8 rounds and scored at least one KD...doesn't seem fair.

    Yeah I definetly don't agree with the judges scoring. It was way too wide. And I wouldnt argue with Glen complaining about how wide the scores were but to outright say it was a "robbery" and make youtube videos about it is sickening.

    Maybe your definition of "crybaby" differs from mine. I saw a man who made a constructive video with a lot of evidence to back up his claims.

    Oh and Glen of course the crowd was booing the decision because for 1. you're from there.. not exactly in that area but in the state of florida and 2. That was Tarvers homecrowd so obviously they're not gonna like Dawson regardless because that's Tarvers main competition. Let's come back to reality Glen. They were even booing Dawson when he entered the ring at the start of the fight.

    What "evidence" did he use to back up his claims? That he doesnt have marks on his face? I got news for you.. Everyone has different skin textures. Some people bleed alot and some people dont at all.. If that was how you judged a fight then i guess Gatti would have lost half of his fights he fought!

    Seems like a fair number of people here think that throwing lots of flashy combinations wins fights. I even saw someone in this thread say something about, "landing flush.' It is very debatable just how many of Dawson's punches were landing even if they were very nice to watch. Johnson on the other hand threw less punches but those he did throw landed, and often to much greater effect than anything by Dawson.

    And to the guy who said he should stop crying... that is weak ****. As if someone at that age who probably worked their mother ****ing balls off and fought like a real man shouldn't be ****ing pissed to all hell that he got screwed by a little biatch like Dawson who doesn't even have the ****ing nuts to say, "Sure, maybe not for my next fight, but I would definatly be willing to offer a rematch in the near future so I can prove I deserve the win." **** that ****. I hadn't seen much of either fighter before, but now that I have I have turned into a Glenn Johnson fan. As for Dawson... well I don't root for little bitches.

    Wrong, AM didnt call out WInky .. . Winky called out AM. AM made the 4 mil offer and WInky balked, I wonder how much Winky made to fight Solimon??? :lol:


    So now Fraud ducked SHane cause he doesnt bring enough fans? :rofl
    Isnt that supposedly the same reason he is now ducking Cotto. :rofl Get real coward lover.

    Yea, Shane said he wasnt ready to face AM after coming back down to 147. . .at least he was honest and took ownership for turning down the fight. . . unlike Fraud who made the saddest BS excuses he could think of.

    Why did he get 80% of the vote for most impressive performance??? Where all the text voters from FLorida and Jamaica? :lol:
