    I was just giving examples of people writing off Johnsons chances in general and saying he looks drained writes his chances off even more. I'm not saying he does or doesn't look drained Im no expert on that. I just think if you're a Froch fan you should be talking up his opponent not the opposite.
    So basically I wasn't saying you give Johnson no chance, I was just quoting examples of the sort of thing I've seen posted on here that make it seem like the overall feeling is that Johnson has no chance.
    (I know I could have worded that better)

    When you would expect Froch to box Glenn“s ears off, then this really is not a pickem fight! Froch is the heavy favourite for good reason. People tend to focus to much on the KO from Johnsons last fight, and actually forget, that before the KO he was being outboxed by a very limited fighter in Green. Now he is in with a stronger fighter, with a proven chin, much better workrate and stamnia, with passion and heart! I can not see how the Road warrior can pull the upset! This fight is all Froch!

    Also MANY of Johnson's decision losses were contraversial as **** too. there was a time he was referred to as the most robbed man in boxing.

    How can G Johnson be called a road warrior. Road warriors are the fighters who travel with everything to lose and nothing to gain.
    A fighter challenging to fight the champ at home isnt a road warrior, just a challenger. But a champ travelling to defend his title to a home fighter is a road warrior.
    Why credit Johnson for challenging for title shots? Hes lucky with how many he loses that he has has so many chances, and not doing anything that any other challenger wouldnt do.

    Froch on the other hand travelled and defended his title to Taylor, where Froch had it all to lose and nothing to gain, then Froch did the same against Kessler, met AA at a neutral site and is now showing he is a real warrior by defending away again against Johnson.

    Froch should be called the road warrior

    Even at this age, Johnson is still extremely dangerous to any fighter. I think Froch will use his ring smarts, though and win most of the rounds. I don't see a KO in this one.

    Johnson looks a real world beater at SMW.
    Johnson is a glorified journeyman who has managed to win a few world title fights, in fact he is 3-8-1 in them
    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HpZag97WXw"][/ame]

    Just a note on G Johnsons SMW career -
    In 12 SMW fights Johnson has lost 6 of them.
    Johnson has lost at SMW to -

    M Sosa who had 5 losses and 2 draws, and lost his next 2 fights after beating Johnson
    Kiwanuka who had 3 losses and 2 draws, had lost his last 2 fights coming into his fight with Johnson and his fight after Johnson
    Ottke 16-0 who in fairness was an outstanding SMW boxer
    Vanderpool 27-1 who lost his next fight, but in fairness that was at MW to Hopkins and Vanderpool had a good run after
    Branco 38-4-2 who was a world class SMW and became WBA LHW champ
    Sheika who was 19-1 and lost his next fight, though in fairness that was to Calzaghe.

    The SMWs that Johnson has managed to beat
    Campas 3-20-4 coming off of only 2 losses and won his next fight
    Watson 24-16-1, Johnson was his last fight
    Renteria 9-23-5 coming in, whos last 10 fight record before facing Johnson was 0-8-2
    Zimmerman 15-2-0 coming in, who had lost his previous fight and the one after
    A Green 29-2-0 coming in and Johnsons biggest SMW victory

    Its not impressive now is it. Please spare me the robbery talk.
    If any rated SMW losses to Johnson it wont look good on their resume

    To think beating Green was all Johnson had to do to become a Ring rated SMW in todays ratings

    Johnson is a way better fighter now than he was then. He's beaten better fughters than hes lost to. Gj won't be easy for froch because their styles clash. Froch better not get tired. Resumes are out of the window in a fight like this. A lot of His losses were disputed losses often away from home too.
