    He could likely beat all in tough fights

    He has the potential to beat any of them. Mustafa,and Muhammad would be very tough fights and, if he isn't on top form he loses to Galindez and Conteh.

    At his peak, Harold wins against any in my opinion.

    Conteh vs Johnson. What a beautiful bout that would be!

    I concur that at his very best, Harold beats all on the list...with Galindez being the toughest. Harold Johnson was perfection.
