    A third fight is a tough sell IMO.

        Not obvious who Smith could fight next. Can't see it being Eubank. He'll want a big fight but can't see who. Maybe work back up to it. He's well ranked at MW so maybe Heaney? Or Josh Kelly at LMW.

            after that last performance and excuses nah but then again eubank got his chance at redemption after his poor performance so idk really, boxing can be on the night event at times and results can switch depending on form etc

              Eubank declined to be made WBO mandatory at 160, so if he doesn't end up fighting Benn it's unclear who else he would fight.

                Heaney's a nice guy and decent but he seems levels below someone like Liam Smith really. Does make it difficult to match Liam really like you say.

                He career seems to be coming to a natural conclusion almost. There is the danger of him being a gate keeper at world level.

                Boxers will do whatever and he's had a great career but he's at the stage now where you hope he just gets out of the game without catching a few beatings on the way out.
