    Judah had way more expectations.

    Johnson has surpassed my expectations and he should be proud of his achievements.. don't like it when some esb fans refer to him as a gatekeeper.

    Judah always underperforms on the grandest stages of his career. Waste of talent. Hope he puts in a good show against 6 toes.

    I picked Judah, he's a 5 time world champion (something like that). Johnson has good wins on his record.

    Judah, no doubt. Judah will be HOF. Im not saying his resume is HOF worth, but he will be HOFamer.

    I accidently picked Judah over Johnson. It was a mistake. I meant Johnson. But Judah is accomplished, just doesn't have that win over a Roy Jones Jr. That is what wins this poll for Johnson obviously. Regardless of knocking out Jones after Tarver did, he knocked out Roy Jones Jr. with one punch. That is an accomplishment.

    I like both fighters but Johnson beat RJJ, Tarver and Woods. He also beat Cloud and Dawson without getting the decision.

    Who accomplished more my friend. Not who did more with less, or who exceeded expectations.

    Judah is often judged unfairly because the expectations are so high. When you look at it, he hasn't had a bad career at-all. 5 time Champion of two weights, wins over Ward, a prime Corley, Spinks, Witter, Matthysse, Mabuza, Paris. More often than not he was competitve at the highest level. People had it in their minds that Judah could be P4P because they saw a flash of speed and a sprinkle of power. The expectations were always un-realistic.

    Now there's Johnson on the flip side. Nobody ever expected much and Glen has done fantastically to of had the career he has. A win over a shot Roy Jones (He looked like a corpse that night.) Antonio Tarver who had just become relevant due to his own fights with Jones.

    Harding, Woods, Yussef Mack, Allan Green and an old shot Montell Griffin do not put him in the same class as Judah IMO. People are mistaking achivement in relation to percived ability, in the place of actual achivement.

    I'll be in the minority here, but i don't give a **** how many title defences someone has made or how many belts they've won. When assessing someones legacy i look straight at who they've fought, who they've beaten and how they performed.

    Zabs best wins are probably a green as **** Junior Witter, Lucas Matthysse (most thought he lost this fight and i agree, but it's not the robbery it's made out to be either imo), Cory Spinks, DeMarcus Corley and probably Micky Ward aswell. That's not a very good record for an undisputed world champion, and it's why i look at the wins column over titles won.

    Glen Johnson has obviously fought everyone and gave a good account of himself on almost every occasion. He was probably NEVER clearly beaten in his prime years. He was green against Hopkins and still working on construction sites as far as i recall. He has wins over Jones Jr, Tarver, Woods, Green, Mack, Harding, Ulrich and, in alot of peoples opinions, Dawson and Ottke aswell. Ok, he didn't win as many titles as Zab, but he clearly has the better wins list for me and that's what counts. Both men have alot of defeats but that's what happens when you fight the best.

    Lol at this poll, you people kidding me. Johnson is only known for koing a shot Jones after Tarver did. Judah by a mile.
