“Iceman” John Scully, a trainer to pound-for-pound great Artur Beterbiev, shared his thoughts on his masterful performance versus Callum Smith last weekend plus his potential showdown with Dmitry Bivol and discussed Canelo and Benavidez too. Scully also talked about guiding Chad Dawson to a world title against the legendary Bernard Hopkins, the greatness of Roy Jones Jr, how he was as a light heavyweight contender and what he thinks of today’s young fighters plus his great work with former fighters in need and much more in this Fightnews.com® exclusive.

Don’t get me wrong Artur is a beast but Smith done been dominated by Canelo. They all talking like this is a career defining fight. Smith has beat nobody, Bivol has dominated top tier dudes including Canelo.
Smith had several good wins on his resume, you’re way off base
He trained Mike Oliver to hold. That was his entire game holding.
You mean the guy who was in his prime 15 years ago? He won numerous fights and championships on the ESPN? He apparently punched just enough to beat several contenders and former world champions. You sound like a true ignorant hater to be completely honest.
“Iceman” sure had Beterbiev in great shape for his fight with Smith. His fighter was not overtrained and in the corner between rounds was not gasping for air.
— Callum Smith won the first ever Ali trophy in World Boxing Super Series a few years back. He was also The Ring Champion.
His only two fights lost were against future HOFers Beterbiev and Canelo, not to mention he comes from one of the most credentialed boxing families in boxing history.
In short, by credentials of the hundreds of thousands of fighters in boxing history, he would rank in the 99.5th% Percentile as would Callum.
I say well done Ice and Artur along with the rest of your team. Artur will be 39 years old if he and Dmitry Bivol agree to unification this year after starting his Amateur Career in 2006 with a Gold Medal.
Yes, Callum was HIGHLY regarded going in.
Artur deserves all credit
