You know the Ottke-Johnson fight was when Ottke was in his prime while Reid fought Ottke when he was done. Johnson was better than Reid and will be remembered as a tough test for anybody who fought him while nobody will remember Reid.
Only seen him in his losing effort against Conteh, think he'd beat Dawson, Cloud and any of the other champs/contenders. Bhop would ud him I think though.
His KO over Jones gives him a Boost and The 1st fight with Dawson could have gone either way. That said he was another late bloomer who put it all together late. He was a very tough, competitve fighter.
