    Hope he gets all the help that he needs. Health comes first, physically and mentally. I know some people that have gone through so much mentally and it's nothing to take lightly. Whatever it is that he has on his mind I sincerely wish him nothing but the best and I respect his decision to hang them up.

    Sad end to his career but he should be proud of what he's achieved.

    Underachieved for his ability/potential but still a good career to be proud of. Always was exciting to watch

    Looks like he's going down the Ryan Burnett route and getting into body building

    Funny this thread popped up I watched his fight vs Beterbiev recently, he gave Beterbiev a good fight and floored him pretty heavily aswell, he had Beterbiev on shaky legs for a moment. Very brave effort from him in that fight IMO.

    Is it time to reassess Johnson?

    Remember when they tried to lock me in an insane asylum for merely speaking the truth about Johnson's savage power?

    Well, once again, for the umpteenth time, I, Serge, have been proven correct

    All big or very big punchers

    Gvozdyk
    Joe Smith
    Hot Rod
    Yarde
    Cloud
    Browne
    Prieto

    But the only man to legitimately floor Beterbiev (ie. not that flash balance issue one earlier on in his career) is Callum ''The One'' Johnson


    I told you. Listen to the sound of those hooks. Proper old-school meaty wallops

    FTR, Seanie has sparred Beterbiev

    He announced today on Sky Sports he’s coming back at Cruiserweight. Said he’s 15 stone just now and feeling strong.

    Good to hear, he was always great to watch and a bit of an underachiever. Shame we were so close but didn’t get the Smith fight.

    Too many injuries sadly. I wish him well and didn't mind him, but injuries/problems out of the ring always held him back unfortunately.

    Crusierweight has recently completed it's mandatory once-a-decade immolation. It's a wasteland right now. Johnson can likely score a payday if he acts now.
