    It doesn't matter how talented you are, if you've not got the dedication and look to blame others instead of just getting on with it you are going nowhere.

    Used to follow him on twitter but sacked it as the constant "I'm chucking it" then "I'm going for it" done my nut in.

    Agree with what others have said, he isn't dedicated enough it seems.

    He also needs to let go of the wildcard days, them days are long gone.

    Blaming the Johnson loss on DiBella is mad.

    He didn't prepare himself and fought down to a lowly opponent's level and got outdone by him on the night, simple as.

    Craig has always had issues with fitness, it let him down when the going got really tough in the amateurs.
    Loads of ability, but when I saw his pro fights he looked ponderous and flat footed, the polar opposite of what made his such a good amateur

    300 ! never realised it was that much ,

    you would think he could get fights in the UK or is it possible he is avoided as he is southpaw ?

    I've always thought his problem was his lack of power, once he faced a couple of boxers with heavy hands they just walked through him and that was that.

    Craig was proberbly the most naturally talented fighter I've had in my gym for the short period I worked with him
