Beterbiev would smash Callum Smith.

I agree.

 

It would definitely be a closer fight than Smith's fight with Canelo and closer than Beterbiev's fight tonight.

 

Smith, the #1 ranked LHW on boxrec

 

I think they should fight right after Bivol fight, does not matter what the result will be.

Beterbiev may have only couple of fights left in him. He needs to fight champions and top contenders.

 

Smith is no1 for a reason...wait no he's not.

 

Smith would retire after the beating Beterbiev gives him

 

be closer fight then y ou think actually

 

I don't know why this actually needs a thread.
Smith has done nothing at 175, he only recently moved up after getting beat up by the ginger magic beef-eater.
But I guess the insanely flawed boxrec ratings have something to do with that.

 

I dont know anyone who would disagree that Smith loses here.

 

People thought Smith stood a chance against Beterbiev ???

 

Mexicans Hyping Zurdo to beat Beterbiev.

 

Looks like it, after the way the Canelo and Gorilla fights went. At distance he seems pretty good though, the Groves fight. I'd still give him a shot because he has good counters, even close range and Beter might get caught with something while opening up. Smith will also hit harder at 175. Beterbiev is tough but it's not like he can't be put down or hurt.

 

No doubt. Smith is not that good. A lot of light heavyweights domestically will beat him.

 

To me he isn't even the best Callum nor the best Smith in the division. I expect him to lose both the Smith vs Smith and Callum vs Callum h2h matchups, if they ever would take place.
