Ask again after he faced Pascal. If someone dares to say Johnson right now, he's getting an angry mob behind him on this forum. edit: Spud is thinking the same thing
Johnson depends on his incredible work rate and chin To do this he needs to get close and get his motor running were he can throw punches and exchange with you to wear you down... This wont work against hopkins, hopkins will just clinch him when he gets close and prevent him from throwing anything effective. Sooner or later johnson will get frustrated and start making mistakes like lunging in, and hopkins will have a field day countering him over the top coming in.. Hopkins will completely nullify his offense, and do his usual dirty clinch work and pot shoting Hopkins UD
Hopkins in a close fight. Bernard is more technical and would win the fight, but it might be tough at times.
Johnson's offense is FAR too predictable. He moves forward, throws a looping right hand, etc.. When a guy has a limited number of weapons, Hopkins just puts the danger shot in his pocket and it never comes out in the fight. I don't see Johnson winning this one, though it goes to the cards this time.
Obviously a hell of a lot closer this time around. Hopkins, but I want to see how he does against Pascal first.
