Basically he wasn't good enough. 3 tries for world champion and failures at Euro and Brit champs...
Sorry I don't buy it.
Colin Jones (beat laing twice and lost split and draw against Milt McCrory) and Billy Hardy (not the most talented world level fighter but lost a decision he deserved against ATG Canizales) ar ebetter bets.
you dont know what your on about do you.the first kalambay fight was very close the 2nd herol got robbed big time,McCallum was a split he got a point knock of or it would have been a draw and to beat up and then get knockout by a punch what would have knockout anybody is not as bad as your making out.he was dead at the weight for grant and had one just about every round till he ran out of gas and dont forget he knock down brewer twice(calazage Could not do that)before is old legs gave in.he was good enough he was just unlucky
