    Listen, if Clinton Woods can get by Johnson, then Calzaghe, being far classier a fighter, can too.

    BUT.....it's a bad style for Calzaghe, and Johnson gives him absolute ****ing hell to pay in losing a slender decision.

    The thing I love about Johnson is that he honestly seems to have learned something from each of his defeats while not really having to modify his style over the years too much. It's brilliant, and he's brilliant.

    Hence why Calzaghe got second thoughts and pulled out of the Johnson fight, right?

    How many times?

    Watch the build up to the fight and the fight itself and then tell me that he was taking it as seriously as he took Lacy and Kessler.

    His performance was dominant early on and towards the end, he just lost concentration and focus in the middle. At no point was Bika outboxing him, he merely dragged Joe into his game and won a few rounds on the back of his dirty tactics. Not remotely comparable to last nights fight.

    Sugar Ray Robinson was better going forwards, using the explosiveness he was bless with. He was (relatively) open to the jab, not ideal if you are going onto the backfoot.

    Twice, injuries and personal problems gave him no choice but to, Johnson didn't want to sign for a 3rd time.

    without question the results were 'arguable'. One thing is for sure, he didn't get ripped-off like he did last night.

    Mayweather is a better fighter in the pocket, not on the backfoot though.
