    I must say, it's kind of weird how extreme the shift in Callum opinions overnight.

    This guy went from being considered totally ordinary pre-Groves, to now being considered like a young Tyson after stopping Groves.

    Callum's a good fighter, but he's gone from underrated to overrated.

    Did GGG learn anything from the Jacobs fight? Yes, I had GGG edging it but Jacobs height proved a very tough obstacle for him to overcome. GGG is more skilled than Smith, that's for sure. But not to the extent that he can overcome a height and weight difference that large. What can GGG offer? Groves hardly put a dent in Smith so I expect GGG to do even less considering he'll be punching upwards all night.

    And who comes up with these rumours. It's complete rubbish. GGG isn't stupid enough to go after Smith...

    He is ducking Charlo, but I've no problem with this fight. He's fighting a better super middleweight than Canelo if the fight happens. Don't forget that Golovkin is Mr. fight anyone from 154 to 168, all the while fighting some of the weakest opposition in middleweight history. Add to the fact that Fable Sanchez often makes excuses why Golovkin won't fight prime Lions, and you can see why I call Golovkin out for his ****ery.

    His opposition was no weaker than Hopkins 160 run and throw into the mix that GGG never got dropped twice and drew with a Colombian journeyman.

    Struggling to make 160? Since when? The move from 160 to 168 has always been a tough one historically. There's no guarantee if 3G moved, he'd be refreshed or stronger.

    Beating Mundo Smith makes a big statement. Good fight if true.
