Harrison vs. Jermell 2 please. Liam Smith is not a world class fighter.

Castano is a good bottom top 5 kinda guy imo.I picked him to beat Lara because I thought Lara might be done.Well Lara not QUITE done yet but he don't have the legs he used too I scored it 7-5 Castano but cant complain with draw or even very close Lara win.He has a great engine and good offensive skills and decent defense not big power but seems tough.He is the kinda guy whose whole is better then sum of parts.That being said I think he would have better chance with Charlo just based on styles because Charlo kinda fell in love with his decent power and forgets to let hands go and just box(like he used to).Hurd I think is too big and has same engine with better although not great power.I think I would still pick both over Castano and would prob pick Charlo over Hurd as long as he has learned his lesson(Charlo).Charlo does not need to learn anything otherwise I would say he is past learning/improving much but he has already shown very good boxing skills in past.So Hurd tougher fight for Castano but would pick Charlo over Hurd(styles).Castano though can hang with both just not QUITE good enough to win imo.

Have you seen Castano vs. Derevyanchenko, and Castano vs. Vitu?

I seen Vitu and Soro fights but not Derevyanchenco now that you brought it up though I think I remember hearing he beat him in that WBS semi pro thing they got going but never seen it.I know they did not fight in pros.Vitu was a little better then I expected but Castano eventually wore him down and stopped him real late 11-12th.Soro fight was close but thought off dec was fine cant remember right now how I scored it I always score just in my head cant help it lol but I think I had Castano up by point or two I know I had REAL close.What did you think of Derevyanchenko fight if they did?

Oh okay experience means nothing now just age lol. 7 years in and he doesn't prove ****, and won't be able to until he goes to 160 LMAO.

Like I said in the 1st post when the guy said that Jaime can beat Charlo. HE WILL NEVER HAVE TO PROVE IT. You guys drunk the kool-aid on him already and he doesn't have to prove anything. He can beat no hoper after no hoper, never show improvement and you guys will make an excuses for him.

He has more fights than Tank, hasn't fought equal comp to him and is in the same age group yet you will say Tank is unproven but Jaime is already the near the top, #2 at lowest, at 154. Tank need to go up and fight Loma to prove himself politics aside, but Mungina is good to do what he's doing.

Wrong guy you fool!
I never said Munguia would beat Charlo!
Can he beat him?? Yeah maybe...
Can Charlo beat Munguia?? Yeah maybe. It would be a great close fight between them!
I would slightly favor Charlo to win but it would be a great fight and they both have the ability to beat each other!
As far as Davis well wrong guy again you clown! You keep accusing me of things other guy's be saying...
I never said Davis had to move up to prove himself.
Truth be told I think Davis is a beast and he has the potential to be great! Unlike the Charlos who've already topped out with their skills and abilities....
Davis just needs to stay active and fight at least three times a year and stay away from garbage like Broner cause Davis actually has skills and it would be a shame for his career to go to waste the way Broner's did.
So you need to get your facts straight before you message me and accuse me of posting things I didn't!

And Jermell is???

Liam Smith is clearly a world class fighter. Imagine saying that a guy who held a world title and defended it multiple times isn't world class lol.

[Loque-san]

And Jermell is???

He has world class athleticism, explosiveness and punching power, and when he was still with Ronnie Shields and before falling in love with his power, he could actually box.

Castano vs. Dervy is on YouTube. Castano is the real deal! He beat Dervy! He beat Spence Jr. in the amateurs too. I don't know if he could beat him now, but I would love to see it! I just hope PBC shows Castano vs. Soro rematch! There has been no announcements yet, but the WBA says Castano was obligated to fight Soro after Lara, due to an agreement which allowed Castano to face Lara!

ha He won a vacant title against a non-contender and defended it against… non-contenders. That's for his resume, as far as the boxer, I just don't see anything about him that could make him world class.

He has beaten Liam Williams and John Thompson who are both certainly contenders. He is clearly world class.
