    I struggle watching stuff with her in Liq, but he seems pretty grounded doesn't he..Looking at him there I cant believe how big he is for 168. Gonna be exceptionally hard to beat him if he can stay healthy at 168

    why is Callum Smith still being marginalized by Hearn?

    lineal, ring magazine champ, world champ and hes fighting on an undercard in the States?

    Chad Dawson, Kelly Pavlik, Andre and Anthony Dirrell all used to compete at WW in the AM's, and most had fought there after reaching their peak height. If youre in HS and competing in the amateurs and have a similar build to any of those guys, that's gonna be the weight you compete at most likely. Granted, Callum is even taller and longer than any of those listed.

    The Plank is nothing special, he's hugely overrated!

    Actually, I might be wrong about Chad Dawson though, but ya you get where I'm coming from. I faced Chad 5x in the AM's but he grew and filled out way before me and competed at 165 in the Jr. Olympics his senior year in HS. I mean, he did compete at WW in the AM's, but I think all his WW amateur bouts were before he peaked in height and began filling out his frame.
