Right, before I start I know the Smith brothers (in particular Paul) wouldn't exactly win a popularity contest on this forum - but I would like fair valid points. How do you rate each of them - Paul, Stephen, Liam & Callum. As most probably know, the 3 elder brothers have labelled Callum as the stand-out. But same token, you would expect them to say that about there "baby brother". He does however seem the most talented from my point of view from what we've seen of him. What do you see next for them? What would you like to see from them next? Will any of them go beyond domestic level?
My favourite fighter is without doubt Stephen,he has plenty of ability and an exciting style Just because he lost to selby shouldn't matter,boxers shouldn't be written off so easy Callum looks great but ibviously it's early I like Paul as a pundit and he is clearly a boxing man but his time in the ring is limited Liam bores me,I don't know why I just haven't taken to him in the ring.i think he had a long apprenticeship and might have reached his level(as good as that is British/commenwealth)
I really only know Paul and Stephen who are top lads and obviously very good fighters, i must say I thought Stephen had the tools to possibly win a euro even a world title. Dony know Liam and Callum to well but both never pass you without saying hello. Callum looks very tasty and will achieve in the sport. And not forgetting the dad whos always a bag of nerves on fight night but you would be wouldn't he
I agree with you about Stephen, watched him come up through the ams and had bags of talent. I feel He never really found the right style as a pro, liked to go to war too often. It is obvious they underestimated Selby thinking he could walk straight through him and the loss seemed devastating at the time, but I still feel he has got a lot to offer. Liam is underrated, not nearly as talented as ste or callum but has come on really well under Gallagher, I think their styles gel and he will win a british and maybe even a euro. I have got no doubt that Callum will be the best of the bunch though, I think he is the most talented and has got a mature head on his shoulders for a young kid.
i think stephen will do better at super feather then at 9 stone, and i think callum is a future world champ can see him having a fight with Groves 2/3 years down the line.
I think Callum will end up at Light heavy, hes very tall at the weight and very young so as he grows into his body think he will struggle to make s.middle.
Agree with Callum Smith eventually fighting at light heavy he is making super mw ok at present. With all prospects only when they get stepped up in class can you truly judge them on potential alone no doubt for me Callum is the standout. Steven can come again don't think he has the correct trainer for his style but to be fair Selby would of beat him no matter how he boxed that night.
Funny you say that, most opinions I hear feel that the Smith's + Crolla should move from Gallagher. I tend to agree that Paul, Stephen & Callum should but Liam is probably right to stay where he is.
If I had to rate them I'd say Callum is the best fighter out of the 4. Going from the best to worst.. Callum Stephan Paul Liam In terms of ability, although if Liam wins his fight with the eagle, he could arguably have done better than Paul.
Really? I wouldn't go that far just yet especially with a win over Ochieng. Paul has a few decent wins at domestic level and internationally.. Former British champion wins over; - Quigley - Dodson - Jonathon Reid who fought for a world title Been in with Groves & Degale.
