    What do you think?

    Been watching some of his closer fights and I haven't found one that I've thought he's lost yet...

    Here are my cards for his fights:

    James Toney vs. Reggie Johnson: 115-115 Draw
    Johnson: 1,2 ( 10-8 ), 5 and 10.
    Toney: 4,6,7,8 and 11.
    Rounds 3,9 and 12 even.

    Reggie Johnson vs. Steve Collins: 115-113 Johnson
    Collins: 1,2,5 ( 9-8 ) and 12.
    Johnson: 6,7,8,9,10 and 11.
    Rounds 3 and 4 even.

    Reggie Johnson vs. John David Jackson: 115-112 Johnson
    Jackson: 1,2,7 ( 10-8 ) and 10.
    Johnson: 3,4,5,6,8,9,11 and 12.

    Reggie Johnson vs. Jorge Castro I: 116-113 Johnson
    Castro: 1,2,11 and 12
    Johnson: 3,5,6,7,8,9 and 10.
    Round 4 even.

    Reggie Johnson vs. Jorge Castro II: 118-113 Johnson
    Castro: 12
    Johnson: 1,5,7,8,9,10 and 11.
    Rounds 2,3,4 and 6( 9-9 ) even.

    Reggie Johnson vs. Lamar Parks: 117-112 Johnson
    Parks:3,7 and 9.
    Johnson: 1,4,5,6,8,10,11 and 12.
    Round 2 even.


    The Second Castro and Jackson losses were robberies imo, and he at least held his own in the other fights there.

    Haven't see the Tarver fight, though I've heard some say that's an arguable one as well.

    Never really rated Johnson as a talent, but so far as I can tell he was only outclassed once in arguably Jones' best career performance and faced a fair list of decent fighters throughout his time.

    Pretty good going actually..

    i see you played knifey spooney before




    im just playing around. he is one of jones best wins. complete one sided win over a man never outboxed or outworked or hurt before that. the 3rd round kd is one of the best knockdowns i have seen.

    i'm a massive fan of johnson, i used to watch a lot of him when i was boxing. a slick but pressuring southpaw...a fighter i wanted to but could never be.

    his win over guthrie was fantastic

    The Castro verdicts were fair as a blue sky.

    What's knifey spoon?

    I thought Johnson's performance in the second Castro fight was pretty impressive too. Castro was kinda fat and out of shape there, but Johnson still made him look worse than he actually was.

    Second one was a bad robbery. What did Castro do?

    Tarver beat him. I don't really think that's up for debate.

    I don't remember my scorecard. I think I had it like 116-112 for Tarver or something, and I was really surprised that the decision was split.

    I gave Collins five of the first six against Johnson and the last two, the fourth even. It was 115-112 for Collins on my card with the points off. I thought it was quite clear.

    Mind you, the most dominant round of the fight by far was Johnson in the 10th, when he looked like a southpaw version of a peak Roy Jones.

    So yeah I think Collins beat him quite clearly.

    Reggie Johnson said that he only two fighters who truly beat him good were Roy Jones and Antonio Tarver.
