    Even at pro level ? I'm surprised by that, I thought his dad would always have something to do with him but at pro I felt his dad would take a back seat and let someone else lead.

    Callam Johnson was a very talented fighter with ko power. Think his father was Scottish but many people thought of him as English. He won a gold in Delhi, done very well indeed, got a good draw in the tournament but seized his chance. He turned pro with Hamed as his mentor/manager, where prince promised he would ko his first 10 opponents which didn't happen. Think Callam had a confidence problem, heard people say when he boxed for Scotland he would win fights then pull out of finals to avoid certain fighters. I dont believe Johnson would have much of a fan base so he maybe would not sell tickets. Also because he is talented don't think promoters would risk throwing him in with their prospects in case Callam exposed them. Don't know when he last boxed, he will be about 29 now I think.
