Comments Thread For: Callum Johnson: I'd Beat Yarde and Arthur - But They Are Both Dangerous

[1Eriugenus]

What a shame the likes of Johnson, Yarde, Arthur & Buatsi Ect never fought each other for British, Commonwealth & EBU honour's enstead of dreaming about Micky Mouse alphabet trinket's!

There still is time. I fancy Buatsi will prevail. I was very big on him at the beginning because he seems so solid, calm & controlled in there, but then he started to get hit more & more & didn't seem to show any head or upper body movement. Moving to Virgil seems like the perfect chance for Joshua, who is an intelligent young man, to learn next stage boxing skills. I believe Joshua will be world champion. Not 'trinkets' like the WBU or something but all the prizes.

[just the facts]

I think Callum Johnson has the best chance of becoming world champion out of all the British light heavyweights.

Which still isn't much of a chance.

What’s the story with his being from the East Midlands yet fighting for Scotland as an amateur? Scottish parent(s)?

Yes, he grew up in Lincolnshire but his Dad is Scottish & he says he always thought of himself as Scottish. Obviously, Callum is a competely Scottish name.

I feel a bit sorry for Callum because his career hasn't gone how it should & there have been horribly long stretches of inactivity. Equally, he is an object lesson to young fighters to control their careers. If you say 'I just stay in the gym training, I leave it to my manager & promoter to make the fights' then you risk what has happened to Callum.

Thankyou for the response. That explains it. I thought that it must have been the case. Good luck to this young man
