    I'm guessing you don't need to say much after arguably defeating and beating up the top dog in your weight class. I don't recall them mentioning Smith during the post fight interview however Jack UD's Smith as well. I said it before and I'll say it again for a guy with seemingly average talents and a supposed glass chin he is one hell of a dog in that ring...moxie he has (Yoda)

    Depending on how he handles the weight I could see him beating Stevenson and Beterbiev......not sure if Gvozdyk is built for the kind of grueling fight Jack brings but he's more talented than Jack.

    I would like to see a DeGale rematch but there are a number of good match ups for Jack at 175.

    Haymon has a lot of names he can match him up with. Mayweather was talking about getting him a shot at Stevenson, a really good fight, right away and it will be interesting to see if that happens.

    Stevenson seems tied up with Joe Smith in April then a mandatory with the Alvarez-Bute winner but it's not unusual for a title holder to move up and get an immediate shot for the same organizations title.

    Stevenson, Fonfara, Willams-Browne winner, and a few others are all matches I'd like to see Jack in at 175.

    SMW to LHW is a pretty big jump because of the gulf in weight class between 175 and 200, we're often getting huge guys drain to make 175.
    It's a very good era, too.
    Jack is DONE.

    The sky isn't falling just yet.
    There is no doubt that Haymon, Mayweather and Jack have brainstormed this division move much better than the average spectator.
    With good matchmanking, good training and timing, Jack could meet and beat those between top 5-10 at LHW, or at least make a very good showing.

    Stevenson is quite an entirely different beast than Degale.
    Jack should stay away from Stevenson and his lethal left, for the time being, but there are other good fights for Jack at LHW. I.E., Gvozdyk.

    Rather than the newly arrived Jack, Beterbiev should face Williams Jr. or Barrera. Those are much better fights at LHW.

    Good fights, I'm just assuming a WBC world champion moving up a weight would go in at a rather high level.

    what is a good first fight for Jack at 175?

    Let's be honest Jack ain't gonna go to far with the division no disrespect. Get the money while he can then fight his way back and use the old "Im new to the weight, I shouldn't haven't taken such a task for my first fight" excuse and bam. Fight his way back into contention.

    Jack needs to get his feet wet first and get acclimated to fighting at the higher weight before he jumps into the deep side of the pool.
    Beterbiev isn't the deep side yet, but somewhere in the middle.

    Who knows what's going to happen in the division after Stevenson, Ward and Kovalev fight to unify undisputed? If they do. I hope they do.
    Still, I don't give Jack much chance against either of them, but he could still possibly make it in the top 10.

    He was supposed to get destroyed by those guys. Not many expected him to comes out without a single loss, after a string of such opponents.
    Give the man some credit.
