    Or is Eddie still too busy slurping Joshua's nut sack...

    I expect Smith to have a homecoming bout in Anfield against someone like John Ryder and afterwards will be in a big fight against someone like Bivol or Canelo in Autumn.

    I was basically thinking the same thing, will be interesting to see what happens.

    Bivol would be the hardest fight and lowest pay day, would surprise me if they went his direction tbf. Definitely chasing the money this year though.

    Id love to see him against Joe Smith Jr. FOTY before it even happens. I got Smith Jr. By T/KO around rounds 8-10. It would be a nuclear hurricane inside a ri g for however long it lasted and their would be more testicular fortitude between these two than in the entirety of some countries.

    I believe he and his wife just had a baby girl. Very cute baby.

    Hope he goes for a unification - Plant or Ramirez. Joe G has mentioned those 2 as possibilities.

    I hope he gets the GGG fight that would be quality.

    Hearn didn't get Callum a decent fight before why would he start now?

    Doesn't look like he'll be on the Liverpool bill in March, so I'm expecting him to be back out in the summer, with probably a bigger fight at the end of the year.

    Hopefully Callum Smith gets good fights he's highly rated . He's young tall strong and good . He deserves more respect from Eddie hearn . I believe Callum Smith has potential he just needs the fights to show it . He definitely showed what was up against groves

    I think it’s more to do with the fact there are no big fights in the division he’s in and nobody crying out for him to fight a certain name unlike other top fighters.

    I think it’s been widely conceived since Groves that he cleans out 168 without much trouble which isn’t really a good position to be in, you need a challenge and the doubters.

    He needs to be more vocal about what he wants. All we've heard from his camp is that he wants a retired Andre Ward. Hell Golden Boy president Eric Gomes came out and said that Canelo would be interested in fighting Callum Smith in may . Callums Smith coach dismissed GGG as a potential opponent even after loeffler expressed interest in that fight .://www.google.com/amp/s/talksport.com/sport/boxing/462142/boxing-news-saul-canelo-alvarez-wembley-saul-callum-smith/amp/. ://www.google.com/amp/s/www.boxingnews24.com/2018/10/loeffler-likes-ggg-vs-callum-smith/amp/. www.google.com/amp/s/www.*****.net/2018/12/14/exclusive-joe-gallagher-smith-ward-ggg/amp/.

    Just because there isn't alot of opportunities doesn't mean there isn't any of them. Callum Smith wants a retired Andre Ward .yet Canelo is offering himself to Callum Smith on a silver platter and Smith isn't taking it. That's a big fight right there for dazn Canelo and Callum Smith.

    "...yet Canelo is offering himself to Callum Smith on a silver platter and Smith isn't taking it."
    Maybe they can remember how Chavez Jnr was boiled down to a crisp to fight the Diva...Do ya think Fishnets would let it Smith come in anything but wasted?
