What middleweight in history could have beaten a fighter as big and as powerful as Callum Smith?

Bob Fitzsimmons,
Freddie Steele,
Sugar Ray Robinson,.
Mickey Walker,

among others

And of course:

Harry Greb

 

Quite a few of them

But RJJ tops the list

 

What are you saying? Jones was obviously a Fraud and a Bum.
Leonard would beat him, definitely.

Callum Smith takes Jones soul.

Was Bob Fitzsimmons a middleweight champion?? That is yr question? Tell me mark, is there a sturdy oak tree in ur yard? Do you own a rope?........
As to your other question, Dwight "Tiger" Walker beats him. Probably by early knockout.

 

Didn't Hopkins move "down" from Lthvy to MW?

 

I think his first fight, but I would still qualify him as a MW

 

Rt.....and Hopkins would turn the fight into "a typical Hopkins type fight".

 

Which typical his more aggressive, style of his early days or his more passive defensive counterpunching style of his later years.

 

The Fullmer-grade style......left, right, followed by some type of butt.
Hopkins:
height 6′ 1″
reach 75″

Smith:
Height: 6′ 3″
Weight: 168 lbs
Reach: 78"

 

Virgil Hill?
Reggie Johnson?
Montell Griffin?

 

In my opinion (a Charles nuthugger tbh) that he was the most skilled fighter in his prime and I wouldn't pick anyone between 160 and 200 lbs to beat him on his best night. So I obviously pick him, Jones COULD outbox him easily too, but if he's caught then it's night night. However I think Toney beats him rather convincingly as well as greats like Walker, Greb and Robinson could.
