    I remember in the early stages of Paul & Stephen Smiths careers they got allot of hype but both seemed to get found out above domestic level. Although I still have hope for Stephen, As of right now they look nothing more than solid domestic level fighters that could win a Lonsdale outright or pick up the European but will never challenge for world honors. Same as Liam. People seem pretty hyped on Callum Smith the youngest of the 4, but is that any different to the hype Paul and Stephen got when they were blowing out journeyman and area level fighters?

    Billy do you think his level of opponent should start increasing now or would you keep him at the level he has previously fought at?

    Heard rumors of his punch Resistance being a problem, seems like BS rumor from some bitter people who don't like the Smiths but there could be some truth in it, anybody know?.

    I like watching Callum's fights, very entertaining fighter and good luck to him i say. Good talent.

    Yes he can personally i rate him highter then is brothers by a distance, never felt Paul was more then domestic and Steven seems to be on the way back but honestly Callum has looked like a nailed on future world champion Top 3 UK Prospect
