    That's not what I've heard. He walks around way north of 168. He's 6' 3''. No way he makes SMW easy....

    I doubt it’s easy, but if he’s saying he makes it comfortably enough to the point where he can’t see himself moving up for some time, it must not be so bad

    We'll see, I guess. I've heard he struggles but who knows for sure? I'm factoring in his natural size and weight and the fact he's not far from 30, which seems to be a watershed age for many in terms of metabolism. I reckon 3-4 more fights tops. And the key to making a jump in weight is one fight too soon rather than a fight too late.

    I'm still amazed he can get down to 168 at all. He's taller than Povetkin and was basically a re-hydrated LHW on fight night against Groves....

    Yes, and his name is Dmitry Bivol.
    But i'm sure Smith didn't expected that Bivol will be ready to fight him in super middle, now he is in not very good position.
    Bivol, 2 days ago - "I welcome Callum Smith’s words about his wish to avenge his loss in amateurs. My goal didn’t change — big fights, great challenges, exciting battles. I’m ready to take on Smith not only in light heavyweight but in super middleweight also"
