    I figured Allan Green (29-2, 20 KO’s) wouldn’t likely be getting much for his replacement opponent in the Super Six tournament after Mikkel Kessler bowed out of the tourney with an eye problem. However, I at least expected that Green would be facing someone from his own weight class, since the tournament is being pooled from fighters from the super middleweight division.

    This is why I find it rather odd that light heavyweight Glen Johnson (50-14-2, 20 KO’s) is being considered as Green’s next opponent. Johnson turned 41 in January, and is coming off a 12 round decision loss to IBF light heavyweight champion Tavoris Cloud in August. More than that, Johnson looked flabby, old and weak in that fight. After making weight for the fight, Johnson immediately ballooned up to a fat looking 190 and fought poorly.
