I only posted it before, but it has taken a while for somebody to post about it. Callum is a good prospect but hes still got a lot to learn, Paul as at the right age and experience level and being ranked 5 by the WBO means he does deserve a shot.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a shot. in this day and age when the boxing organisations make the rules up as they go along, there have been far less worthy contenders . And I am also pleased that he's (hopefully) making a good purse.
My comment about capturing the imagination was more about the fans being not too bothered about it because they don't give him much chance, Consequently we can't be that bothered to discuss it.
For the record, I really hope he wins and I'll be watching for sure.
