    I dunno, man. Hurting Beterbiev with a single shot is one thing, but he'll be a tough nut to put away. There's some will and grit in that guy, though I'm not a fan.


    :lol:

    He is probably the 5th best brit at the weight, might crack top 50 in the world if he's lucky

    Don't bother George. The guy was arguably driving the Chris Eubank Jr. hype train. After you've done something as ass backwards as that you may as well spew utter nonsense as no-one is taking you seriously ever again anyway. :lol:

    Believe me, I watched Eubank live in Spain when I was just getting into the sport, and then I said he was poor. Now I'm just proud of my instincts, and that I bet 20 quid with my dad on the groves fight.

    Also, he says Taylor isn't skilled. He's just someone who tries to wind up Brits.

    Callum ''The One True God'' Johnson

    Ezzard Charey was Brit Level

    I've heard of Marvin Johnson but I don't recall ever watching him in action.

    After Young Christopher broke his heart he looked up the every British fighter he could on Boxrec and vowed never again. :lol:

    As a Brit, I'll take it this is a good thing?
    Serge, we're in lockdown. Go and watch the first Saad Muhammad fight and post your score in the recently watched thread. I challenge it you as homework.

    It's amazing. My fav ever fight.

    You need to get your ass down to The Holy Church of Loma ASAP and worship at the altar of his genius.

    Woah, listen. I like Loma, he's a g okay. I just hate his fanboys who claim he's the best ever. It's the exact same as my feelings about Marciano.

    1. He is the best ever amateur and amateur boxing is legit

    2. He won't come close to that distinction because he turned pro way too late and he's already starting to slip. There's a lot of wear and tear on that body of his given all those amateur fights and the amount of time he's been fighting and training like a maniac, especially for a leprechaun division fighter.

    But he is a genius and a very special talent

    The Beterbiev loss is living in Johnson's head rent free. He can't go a single interview without mentioning it. It has had a psychological affect on him, believe me.

    If they had a rematch, Beterbiev will crush him. In the last fight he very quickly recovered from that 2nd round knockdown and finished the round strong.

    However, for some reason, it has given all of Johnson's fans some type of false hope that it can be repeated again.

    Johnson is on DAZN, he could very easily end up facing Kovalev.

    Of course he is. That's never been up for question.
