Or is it just a case of cheap publicity because there are so many of them??????

We know Paul Smith hasn't got a future at the top level.....But a la the Curry brothers is there one that is special!!!

Usually amongst a big family only one is really talented......As my brother tends to remind me!! Sad

Callum looks a very good prospect. Still in the early stages of his career but has good technique, speed and some power behind his punches.

He's on tonights undercard, has had 3 fights won them all with one stoppage. Due to be out again on 20th of April so appears to be keeping active as well.

Callum was always thought of as the best prospect if I can remember correctly and he has looked pretty good so far

Not every boxer will make it to world level but that doesn't mean that they won't have a good career, but if there was one you'd think Callum could make it

He's got a british title defence lined up as well Truss, I like the way he's keeping active now that he's with matchroom.

Watched Callum a bit in the amateurs. Lost in the Commonwealth games to NI's Paddy Gallagher at Welter in 2010. Ended up fighting at Light-Heavy in the final Olympic qualifying tournament and was desperately unluckly not to qualify for the games themselves.

I like the family, seem like a decent, down to earth bunch. Hope one of them wins a World title.

Cheers for the input....

Whatever the family.....usually tends to be one standout....

The Baer brothers, Spinks, Curry, Hilton.........

Yeah, and a disproportionate amount of times it seems to be the youngest.

Paul has had a good career, but always fell short. Stephen seems to be doing alright at Superfeather as does Liam at Light Middle, but I don't think either are world class. Hope Callum is the pick of the bunch. He's young and Matchroom keep him busy. The brothers do say he is the best of the lot.
