    How would this fight play out? We saw Callum make a great account of himself against AB, hits like a truck and strong as a bear. How would Canelo do against "Daddy"?

    Callum would devastate Canelo, and ruthlessly KO him, and relatively quickly. Callum is excellent at finding or making openings, and is a vicious inside fighter. He'd manhandle Canelo, toss him around the ring, and have his way with him. He's just as strong, just as stocky, bigger and at LHW, hits twice as hard.

    I'd definitely favor Canelo in that fight, but there's a good chance Call'm lands something to cause the major upset.

    Very good fight. The interesting thing about this fight is Johnson has great durability and is probably the hardest hitting individual next to Smith Jr and Beterbiev at 175. I'd still favor Clenelo but Johnson has all the tools to make it a pretty close fight and he obviously has the power to hurt Clenbuterol.

    He's a beast eh? He should be more popular in the UK, he's hardly known yet is one of the best fighters and a KO artist

    If he legit beat Johnson he wouldn't get excuses he'd get a lot of respect, and if that's what he really craves, he should be taking these sort of fights

    Callum's best chance is in a firefight up close. Otherwise he gets countered all day, bloodied and stopped. He simply does not have the skill set and at age 35 he isn't going to add new dimensions to his game now. Everything he has is already committed to muscle memory.

    All Johnson has done since 2018 is whine about how he lost his nerve against Beterbiev, about how he "could have" won (but ignored how Beterbiev wrecked him going backwards :lol:), how Eddie Hearn is not giving him any more fights and how he can beat anyone at 175lbs and is keen to fight Buatsi.

    Outside of that I don't think think he is even training properly or working on technique (like Canelo during COVID downtime). He just seems to feel sorry for himself and is hoping for the chance to pay his mortgage off.

    Furthermore; there is no quality sparring out there for him and Joe Gallagher is just focused on the money by being a manager/trainer (to get his 20% instead of regular 10%). He's ended up check-mating Callum and p*ssing off Eddie Hearn (by calling him a racist) and closed a few doors on Johnson.

    Hopefully Frank Warren gets him some fights and keeps him busy during 2021. Otherwise he'll have wasted 3 years during the very tail end of his career.

    CJ is 35 y/o, hasn't fought in two years and has only fought three times in total in 4.5 years

    Fire up the Clen-Signal

    Sounds like a real waste of potential. He floored and out-muscled the boogieman. He had a lot of momentum yet seems content spending his days insulting Floyd and sticking up for Margo. Fire it up indeed!

    Yes he did. It takes a brave man to stand toe to toe with Artur. Hence, why Clenelo ducked back down to a graveyard division at breakneck speed as soon as he caught scent of Artur on the prowl.
