In the preceding years, Johnson established himself as one of the most recognisable journeymen in boxing, sharing the ring with the likes ofChris Eubank Jr was knocked down by first punch in ferocious amateur fight Yet his durability and defensive craft mean only three men have been able to stop him at the time of writing .
