    I heard Kirk had a comeback fight in 2010 but hasn't fought since then.

    Soon CJ will be along to tell us how Kirk could have been an ATG if only he hadn't been robbed in the Ruiz fight

    Lol! I still remember certain idiots saying how Johnsons hands were too fast for Vitali and he was going to "expose" Klitschko as being a fraud who just got "lucky" by catching Lewis on an off night. Then Big Bro blasts out Kirk in 2 rounds. Lol :D I actually won some money off that fight.

    Vitali destroyed him and basically ended his career as a top contender.

    Ah a Vitali Klitsckho opponent. I wonder where this thread will end up going. Not.

    Yep, I just did a 'not' joke. Next up I'll be bringing back 'whazzup!' 'Av it!' and shouting 'Winning!' whenever challenged on any given subject.

    I remember hearing his Girlfriend had a miscarriage before Klitsckho fight. Pretty good fighter just had a lack of heart and a lot of injury problems.

    Zodius is right I am here to say just that.........
    Kirk was blatantly robbed if the WBA belt by Joe Cortez & John Ruiz Oscar worthy acting. That robbery took his heart. The Kirk Johnson that fought Klitschko was a mere shell of the Kirk I knew in Texas
    He was overweight & poorly trained was there merely for the check. Would a 100% Kirk have beaten Vitali that night ?? Who knows but he'd have given Vitali all he wanted & more

    Johnson was a decent heavyweight with a tendency to throw low blows (See Al "Ice" Cole bout). Johnson tend to fight to his opponent's level too much; sometimes it hurt him...!!!
