Johnson then lost in his very next fight, a second-round knockout at the hands of Pedro Calderon. Johnson's career failed to take off immediately, as he compiled a record of 4 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws in the first year of his career.Starting in October 1994, however, Johnson went on an eleven fight win streak before losing too title contender Israel Cardona (29-2).In January 1999, Golden lost to an undefeated Shane Mosley, the bout was for the IBF Lightweight Championship. Johnson continued to win most of his fights in subsequent years mixing in losses against boxers including Ben Tackie and Vivian Harris.In 2006 he breathed new life into his career with an upset win over prospect Oscar Diaz, setting up a fight for the vacant WBO Inter-Continental Welterweight Championship against American Antonio Margarito.
