Callum Smith is the only not garbage Smith

TBH I wouldn't be surprised if over time, they were all shown to be on similar level, good contender but not quite elite. Callum Smith looks skilled, but he can be crowded and has limited power at the weight. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he gets beaten soon. Someone who makes a point to pound the body and get inside will cause Callum fits.

Time will tell.

what makes the Smith brothers pieces of shit?

I've heard this leveled at them a few times but never known why.

Smith does have punching power. It's the fact that he's a big puncher and is a physically big SMW that makes him a threat. I don't think he's that skilled though. I wonder how much longer he can make the weight, he'll most likely move up to light heavyweight in the near future.

Callum doesn't seem to be the guy I thought he was coming off the Fielding and Mouhamadi fights. He looks like he hasn't gotten any better since then. I have a hard time seeing him beat a healthy Groves. His size will keep him relevant at world level for as long as he stays at SMW, but if/when he goes to 175, he's in trouble

Paul Smith is an ATG

I haven't even seen Callum Smith versus any top guy yet.

Nope I'm wrong

Following in the footsteps of Benevidez really

They could fight each other, and neither would have any good wins still

He is a good boxer. He just doesn't seem to have that change of gear that top fighters have.

Maybe that consistency, size, length, and good fundamentals still get him to a world title though?

He's looked increasingly workmanlike with his size being the most remarkable thing about him.

I dunno, George Groves is the acid test for him. George is more explosive and carries more power and a heavier jab but there is something about Smith that makes me not want to count him out.

He's just quite metronomic and has a good attitude about him. That kind of size, consistency, gas tank, and just the volume is likely to cause Groves issues.

Will still pick Groves but I reckon it will be tight on the cards.
