    If you analyse Liam Smith's career, there is no one fight where? I think he could of done better. I cannot recall him ever massively under performing.

    Even in his loses, he has always pretty much left it all in the ring. Against Alvarez he was giving a respectable performance, he was really trying until the body punch.

    I thought he was going to be blasted out much quicker against Alvarez etc.

    Liam Smith has pretty much maximized his talent. I think 154 pounds suits him, because he is too big for 147 but not big enough for 160 pounds 'Especially these days with the day before weigh in's'

    I have never really been a big fan of any of the Smiths, but wow they have achieved a lot.

    Liam Smith out of all of them seemed to get the least hype, his style seems very basic but solid.
    Yeah he has been rock solid.

    He's my favorite Smith. He's been in good scraps and his style and engine makes for good fights.

    Callum put me off by being an utter melt after the Ryder match and neither giving him a rematch or a single shred of credit

      Yes his style is very workman like, solid and seems to always draw the fight out of his opponents.

      I think he is on a roll of late.

      If I had to pick ? I would say Liam & Paul were and are my favorite Smiths. Mainly due to their characters.

        The day after he beat Fowler Liam played for his Sunday football team & scored the winning goal. You've got to love a guy like that.

          I would've wanted Liam to win even before I found out Vargas wants to be a ********** politician. Afterwards... Anyway, Jesse has done as much as Donald did to MAGA.

            This is a perfect response. I’ve seen it too many times hence my comment but I stand corrected

              It’s incredible to see how the Brits put past their prime irrelevant American boxers on pedestals before and after beating them.

                Maybe. However, think about how Connor Benn is clamoring for a fight with Broner or Guerrero

                    Good post Prince. Always liked the Smith brothers. I thought Callum most talented but Beefy throws a variety of punches very well. Don’t have great power but like you implied he is very good at a lot of things and shows up and performs every time out.
