    Callum is better than paul already, The height, reach and skill of callum would be too much for abraham the plodder, He also hits harder than paul, he would keep it long all night as mr froch did and run away with a wide UD even in germany, so maybe a Close SD win.

    Yes he would do but will he have enough to stay world champion for a long time am not too sure. Like to see him win the European belt then couple more fights against 2 top 10 ranked opponents then world title. No rush for him just coming back from a bad injury.

    i really dont understand all the hype with callum tbh. he hasnt beaten anyone that shows us he could compete at the top level and abraham is still at that level even if he isnt as good as a year or 2 ago. anyone can look good against the opponents that callum has been bashing up and he has looked ordinary in a couple of these fights too!!!! he has also been picking up hand injuries that will hamper him when in against the top boxers in the division. id like to see him ion with kenny anderson if he returns, rocky fielding then a couple of good euro operators before talk of arthur abraham and the likes.

    He beat Nikola Sjekloca by a bigger margin than the only two people to beat him who where world champions at the time, Abraham and Bika so that gives an insight to his quality. If he gets better luck with injuries he will get better and better. Think he is world class right now, but would be happy if he fought a couple of guys just outside world top 10 then fought for a world title. Though i think he would beat Groves tomorrow, all wrong for him.

    If both Callum and Rocky come through there fights I think they should be put in together, put the winner of them 2 in with someone like Abraham

    Hearn was busy saying he's world class yet he hasn't even beat the best domestically yet. Big difference between domestic/european and world class
    He needs to fight and beat rebrasse then id have him go to the states and beat a couple good fighters over there

    thats a bit foolish because the best domestically are world class... groves,degale,froch. rocky fielding is european level probably.
    abraham for me doesnt operate at a high level, and a 6'3 hard hitting fighter is going to cause him problemo's.

    When i say domestically i meant those at that level british, commonwealth and even european. I think there are some decent fights to have there and of course step it up some.
    U dont want him getting thrown in a title fight having only fought at his current level

    I actually think Smith well may struggle, when he has someone throwing back at him and pushing him back. I've just got this inkling that when he fight's better opposition he's not going to take a shot too well.

    His body work is very good, but he looked a little out of ideas against sjekloca (sp) as the fight went on I thought.

    That should be a good gauge. Hope he looks good and if he can stop him that would def be a statement. Smith should get a few rounds in even if he stops him it will be late

    I think Nikola Sjekloca was at least on par with Rebrasse, only previously lostv twice both on points for world title. I think he will beat Rebrasse with a landslide points win or a later stoppage, good fight but think Callum is a couple of levels above him.

    Its possible, Smith has not faced anybody who can punch yet, i have doubts about his chin simply because he keeps fighting feather fisted operators. We know Abe has a rock solid chin.
