    Callum Smith is that much the best 168 like Tyson Fury is the best HW right now.

    Fighting bums doesent make you the best in your Division.

    Fury getting knocked out will tell you what happens to Callum when he steps up 2 Levels! :deal

    Do the BBBoC sanction IBO fights anymore? Thought it was only the big 4 they sanction

    Martin Murray would be a great fight for Smith next.

    The order of your top 10 is laughable absolutely laughable. If you believe there are currently 6 men in the division who beat Callum Smith you lack boxing knowledge, his brother Paul who could not tie his shoelaces in boxing terms got upperhand of AA in their first fight. AA was open all night to rib punches around the back of elbows with Callums reach he and body shots he would hit him there all night long. Britain has best 2 in division in Callum Smith and DeGale. George Groves best legitimate win of career was against Rebrasse (as like fast majority I had DeGale beating him), both novices at time anyway. Callum also done a far better job on Sjeloka than AA did too.

    I disagree that the vast majority had Degale winning mate, maybe now they do because of how things have turned out, but most ppl were laughing at degale and branding him "clueless".

    I agree he was poor in fight, but most people at time i remember thought he shaded it, personally i had him winning by 1 round. But remember in a close fight were there is a huge favourite and he under performs and other guy fights better than most thought he could the big favourite gets pelters, i personally think both showed in that fight they were no better than Euro level at time, so Groves best win is euro level.

    Smith beats Chudinov and Jack at this point. I suspect Hearn won't pull the trigger on the Jack fight until next summer if he has the choice.

    I think as soon as he can get him world title fight with Jack he will, do not be surprised if its in UK next summer as I believe with Callums ability Eddie will push boat out a little to get him home advantage. Might be wrong but dont think Jack is on funny money a fight. Personally think he beats Jack regardless of location.

    Chudinov is with Vlad from Russia isn't he? So Hearn likely won't be able to get him over here either. If Murray wins in Germany then that's a fight which is easily doable now.

    Here we go. Anyone that had any thought that Fielding was a tests knows F all about the sport. Smith is a great talent, but for crying out loud he is not operating at world level so how is he the best in the division??
