Hopkins, Jones, Tarver all avoided Road Warrior

Isn't it funny how Roy Jones and Hopkins have mentioned many times in the last few years how they would be interested in fighting Glen Johnson again, yet in reality made no effort to make a fight w/ him?

Isn't it odd how Tarver never showed a shred of interest in making a trilogy fight despite being 1-1 and trading Ring championships with Glen?

Isn't it strange how the great Joe Calzaghe, who was never afraid of taking on the best, never set a new date w/ the road warrior after he scuttled their fight?

You know Glen would have signed on the dotted line for any of them.....

and after all this, Glen never proclaimed to the media that he was the most avoided fighter in boxing, unlike several of the younger fighters today who price themselves out of fights. This is why I am such a fan of Johnson.

"I'm not the best. I'm just a guy willing to fight the best"

The Road Warrior is a guy that represents alot of what is right with the sport. He always seemed to be in great shape. He fights hard. He gets the most out of his abilities.

I noticed in his last fight against Dawson his balance looked a little bit off. That being said, he still should give Cloud a stern test when they meet. I can't wait.

He is 1 of the guys that once u fight 1 time u realize u dont want to do that again.

There ya go Canvas. "I'm not the man. I'm just looking for the man." Arguably, boxing's hardest working fighter. I'd back him against anyone in the LH division. If he lost (Mostl likely by a bad decision), I'd back him again. Likable guy. Fearless warrior.

Joe Calzaghe was the one who blatantly avoided Glen Johnson, three times.
