Glen Johnson to the hall of fame !

Its not like we are talking some mediocre fighter like Gatti being inducted here, Johnson is an elite fighter and has been for several years. Once he retires he can be repayed by the boxing community and inducted into Canastota as payment for being mugged by judges so much in his career.

You got to be a 15 year-old watching only fights televised in the US. If not, you've got serious problems.

 

for being lightheavy weight champ i think he should be in it.

 

2 years later...he continues to build his case. If he wins the Super 6, hes fighter of the year again.

 

No, he's the epitome of a solid workmanlike pro, but judging by this thread he's becoming thoroughly overestimated.

Beaten clearly only once....

 

He should be have ATG status now after destroying Allan Green.:deal

 

:dead What a digusting thread title atsch, and just shows how deluded the fans are with promotion.
People want to keep up the BS that most of Johnsons losses were robberies, and some may well have been, but most werent, and lets not forget Johnsons decision over Tarver :-(.
Johnson is a fighter with 14 losses and 2 draws who loses most of the time he steps up

 

I haven't given it much thought, but it would make for an interesting (and unique in today's era) case study.

Let's face it, the record says no (even though he does have quite a few quality wins).However, if everybody fought 3-4 times a year, fought on foreign soil frequently, and fought pretty much all the relevant fighters not named Calzaghe (and isn't bitching about splits, fight locations, etc)...I think there would be a lot of uglier records instead of some of the "glistening" undefeated records we see.

No matter what happens, he's a fighter that we know truly test himself, and if he doesn't make it in, he'll rest easy knowing he put himself in with the best.

 

Hopkins also has victorys over both of them

 

True now, the thread starter created this thread about 2 years ago

Didnt notice that

 

No. He's a good solid fighter, but not HOF. They've let in too many unqualified fighters like Mancini and McGuigan already. And no, that shouldn't be justification for putting in MORE!

 

Too many have gone to HOF, it cuts down the meaning, but I have always liked Glen Johnson. He has been robbed of so many decisions, including the one against Cloud, first fight with Dawson, etc.

 

Stopped Stacy Goodson.
