Reggie Johnson vs Canelo and Golovkin

Reggie beats Canelo something like 8-4, but gets robbed on the cards.

GGG is a 50/50, but I think GGG's jab takes over at some point and that's enough to win a close, controversy decision. I don't think GGG is particularly adept vs Southpaws.

 

GGG by TKO

 

Canelo and Golovkin both beat him. He's quick but he's relatively easy to land on. I don't think he has the power to trouble either and I think both ginger and GGG hit quite a bit harder than Toney at 160.

 

Johnson is capable of taking decisions against both.

 

Pretty sure I’m right in saying that the only fighter that beat Reggie convincingly was Jones and Canelo and GGG are most certainly not Jones, so you’d have to pick a close decision regardless of who you thought was going to win.

 

Takes two L's.

 

Tarver beat him pretty easily, regardless of the cards.

 

8-4/7-5 is a fair card, although Tarver did look comfortable and definitely landed more shots, I remember him taking a couple rounds off Which gave Johnson a chance of knicking it had he won the last 3 rounds

 

Johnson stands them on their heads.

 

Johnson lost twice to Jorge Castro. You think Castro beats Canelo and GGG?

 

Castro has an excellent chance. The differences between Castro and the pair Canelo/GGG, are that Castro was not a 'made for TV' investment; was not massively overrated and fought much better middleweight competition than either of the other two (who, in terms of their middleweight opposition, save Jacobs, only have one and other to the prop up their records at 160).


PS - Have you even seen the Castro/Johnson bouts?

 

My point was that all of his loses were close, minus the Jones fight. I haven’t seen the first Castro fight, but a lot of posters on here seem to agree it was close or Johnson should have been given the verdict.

As for the second it was on YouTube, but was missing the 7th round. Sadly it’s not on there anymore but I had it 104-103 for Johnson so by my reckoning would have been given a draw at the very least

Too answer your question I would make GGG and Canelo favourites.

 

That is exactly how I see it. GGG by close decision, maybe split decison. Johnson UD Canelo (with unbiased judges)
