Comments Thread For: Chris Billam-Smith not looking to entertain no-win fight with Anthony Yarde

CBS has achieved far more than Yarde, and has a much better resume. Yardes best win is British level Lyndon Arthur who already beat him.

I know but if he fought the equivalent of a Kovalev or Beterbiev in the CW division I don't think CBS would've accomplished anything either. In fact, I don't think he'd win as much rounds against Beterbiev than Yarde did

Not sure how good Yarde is, but being 1-3 against top opposition and moving up without his significant physical advantages doesn't look good.

He might not gas out inside 4-6 rounds like he always does though.

He lost against beter and kovalev but he definitely made em work for it.

Yarde gets mentioned alot. Dude needs to hurry back and fight a top guy already

Yarde beats this boy

I don’t think CBS is wrong about the relative insignificance of a Yarde fight but he’s delusional if he thinks hordes of people are clamoring to see him fight anyone. period. He had his chance to rise above being just another alphabet champion against Zurdo and he came up short. He’s not good enough to be in “I’m too good to fight this guy or that guy” mode.

He sold out the Vitality Stadium. I would know, I was there.

There's no reason he couldn't do a decent summer homecoming to Bournemouth. And he's right, all people would do if he stopped Yarde is make excuses. If I was him, I'd take an undercard fight Spring 2025 against somebody in the WBC lower top 15 he'd expect to beat as a bounce back fight. Then try and position for an eliminator in Bournemouth in the football off season at the Vitality.

Fight Ryan Rozicki. That would be a “Gatti-Ward” for the cruiser division.
