I dislike the fact the johnson v dawson rematch took so long to make. I really believe had they fought sooner the fight would have been more competitive.The long wait really hurt johnson, he looked like the old man that he is.
but it wasnt like he was inactive in the 18 months span. he did have two fights between that time frame. against judah which he was revenging a draw and against a guy norwood. hey johnson himself says he was in greatest shape more so last night than he was with the first fight. and had a sparring war with lucian bute. so i dont see no excuse. off subject i love muhamad training he gave dawson 4 minute rounds 30 seconds rest and than his corner advice and words. he is demanding. "drink, stand up" i wonder if he could help and turn jermain taylor around??
