Johnson thinks he has too much experience for Dawson. His age is actually a plus, in his mind.

Glen Johnson: "I Am Promising A Win"

By Glen Johnson told to Mike Woods

I know I am ready to beat Chad Dawson, because I am a better fighter. That's not to say I don't have respect for his skill, but I have more know-how in the ring.

Is Chad Dawson in over his head, some of you readers of TheSweetScience.com might be wondering? Most certainly, I know he is. Believe me, I wouldn't want to fight me. The only two I am afraid to fight are God, and me.

Dawson is a southpaw but that is no problem for me. I have beaten so many in my time. Beaten them easily, as well. This is the best Glen Johnson, I don't think anyone in the light heavyweight division can beat me.

I am 39, and everybody's concerned about my age, except me. I've been 25 before, as Dawson is, and I know how I felt then, and I know how I feel now. He's never been where I am. I believe I am better at 39 than I was at 25. I feel better. I understand boxing better, I understand everything better. That's why I can easily say I am better than Chad. I have more know-how, and I have more because I am 39.

I can't say my win will be easy. Until you are in the ring with a man, you never know. Difficult or easy, I will be victorious. I believe a win by knockout is highly possible but I am not counting on a kayo. I am promising a win.



notorious:  looking forward to a good fight.

Stimpson:  I'll put my monopoly money on Glen by TKO inside 11. Dawson's average. Johnson fights like a man possessed!

IlluminousUthra:  Glen Johnson sold me! I've seen Chad Dawson and even though we have the same last name. I'm still not impressed! One part of me say's I hope Chad can prove the nay sayers wrong. But the other part say's Chad's in for a boxing lesson that he desparately needs if he's going to get better.

Actions Speak So Loudly, Can't Hear What You're Saying
"Here's the problem with Winky, the man has OUTPRICED himself so many times that no one wants to even deal with him any more. Wright believes he's entitled to a fight with Pavlik or Oscar, but come on, a draw with Taylor, and he then refuses to do the rematch, followed by a easy win over Quartey, and then the UGLY fight with B-Hop. No one wants to see him after that. Winky needs to go back to the basics and work his way back to a big fight; sitting on the sidelines crying out for a $ fight ain't the way to do it. Get back in the ring. Actions speak louder than words." ---TSS reader Rudy gives Winky the business
