How good do you reckon this guy is? He was my pick for Scottish (we are claiming him ) boxer to look out for in 2011. He looked good in Dehli and in pro debut. He struggled a bit in his second fight with an opponent who was looking to spoil throughout but maybe learning to deal with opponents like these will come with experience. Having Naz is great for publicity but I hope he doesn't look to fight like Naz did latterly and rely solely on his power, as he can box a bit as well.

Johnson is good and with the right people in his stable he can go very far. My pal boxed him twice in the Scottish Finals and said he is very strong and cracking body shots. I have watched his first two pro fights and was very imprressed with the win again the irish guy think his name was Twonley or something. Picked his punched well. The other week against Melkie, he didn't keep his distance and Melkie just held on and never let Callum work. I think Johnson will be a big star over the next few years.
I thought he'd make a great pro when I seen him at the Commonwealth, he worked off the jab superbly and got inside using his strength and body punching brilliantly, but although it's early days he hasn't seem to adapt to the pro's that great so far hopefully he'll find his feet soon as he is a class act and a top class fighter imo
Johnson has just moved gym to Joe Gallachers Manchester Gym. Looks like a good move for Callum with the sucess Gallacher has had with his boxers Johnson can learn a lot and quickly.

from what i have seen of Johnson he will mesh very well with Gallgher's style

He's as Scottish as Mel Gibson
As Frankie Boyle says, "An alcoholic racist", how can he get more Scottish? That's Mel by the way, not Callum.
If he goes on to do well, a Scottish granny is good enough for me
