    Reviewing his fights available online over the past few days and into the next. The guy was a skilled craftsman, great feet, slippery, more pop than given credit for, speed and high Ring IQ especially as pertains to a southpaw. There were times he could have upped the workrate and/or taken more chances. But he had so many components of a truly elite champ.

    Thoughts and appreciations...

    Reggie's knockdown of Toney was beautiful. More impressive than Roy's knockdown of James.

    He had a style and approach that often led to close decisions... unless your name is Guthrie.

    Nah you don't agree with me.

    Remember I'm a troll with the perception of a 3 year old.

    Probs best you have a differing viewpoint to mine on these things.

    McCallum, Graham, Kalambay have become famous as underrated(!) but Johnson was truly underrated, a great craftsmam.

    He arguably beat Toney.
