Grade Liam Smith's top five wins. What level is he?

[EasternEuroFan]

There was nothing controversial about the second Smith v Williams fight. It was a competitive fight but Smith edged it and got the right decision, there was no complaints from Williams or his team.

Williams was winning the first fight on points but the fact is that the tide was turning fast. Smith cut Williams with punches and Williams was also looking to be getting hurt and tired and Smith was getting to him. The corner pulled Williams. It's a fair win for Smith too, even if Williams was up on the cards.

Anyway he is probably fringe world level. He won't have enough to beat the top guys in the division but he can compete at the level. A bit like his brother Stephen really. He'll give a decent account of himself but come up short at a higher level. Stephen never got a vacant title shot as easy as Liam's though.

[just the facts]

I have limited exposure to Smith. But none of the Brits on here have ever claimed he was a quality fighter and with those idiots that's saying a helluva lot

He's a decent fringe world level fighter. I won't call him good until he beats a genuine good world class fighter. He's fun to watch though and brings it with his come forward style.
