Glen Johnson Willing To Replace Hopkins, Fight Adamek

Well going on their common opponent Chad Dawson I'd say Glen has more than a chance to beat Adamek.

Respect to Glen for wanting such a difficult fight though and respect to Adamek if he takes it.

 

up to now there is no reserved date for a hopkins fight....what is he thinking?

 

It's too bad. I know he weight in well under the 175lbs on a couple of occasions (172lbs against Dawson and Woods).

 

A very winable fight for Johnson.

 

To be honest he looked very skinny when he fought at 168.

Glen deserves some kind of opportunity and if he has to move up to cruiser so be it.

Adamek definitely has the size adv, but this might not be as pronounced as ppl think, because he used to be a light heavy.

Glen definitely has a better style to make a good fight, than Hopkins.

Good to see good fighters coming to Adamek. Would make a good Showtime date. No fuss with negotiations, just get it on.

 

Im sure Tomasz has not forgot about the multiple times he tried to get a fight with Glen,Tarver,Roy, and BHOP while at LHW and none would give him the time of day.Instead they chose to act like no one else exists and played musicle chairs with that ring belt all while dumping belt after belt to avoid fighting a mandatory not named Jones,Tarver or Johnson.

I like Johnson and would think this would be another Adamek WAR but Johnson doesnt bring much to the table for Adamek at CW at the moment.

 

Isint Glen set to fight the winner of Diaconu/Branco? Glen should stay at 175, Cruserweight is too big for him IMO.

 

good fight!

 

It would still probably be a bigger fight than anyone else he could face in the US, other than maybe a Cunningham rematch. And it would certainly be winnable by Adamek, much more so than Hopkins.

 

Johnson probaly doesn't want to wait forever and then have to challenge the winner away from home.

 

definitely, it presents a solid TV package, good enough hopefully for Showtime championship boxing. With Glen being a highly respected name. And with him being beatable - especially at cruiser - it looks like a good one for Adamek.

When Joe Calzaghe finally became The Man and balked at all the challenges, I thought badly of him. He'd got to where he always wanted to be and then wouldn't answer the call.

I don't think Adamek will do that. Guys like Hopkins, Johnson, Cunningham, want to fight him and if the offer is reasonable then I'm sure it can happen.

Didn't King stop Johnson v Adamek at light heavy?

 

:deal

 

All Hail the road Warrior:mj

I hope this happens.

 

Johnson is the man, I wish more fighters were like him.
