    Is Eubanks a world champion like Liam Smith? Is Eubanks undefeated like Liam Smith? Is Eubank's resume greater than Liam Smith?

    Not sure how you can even say that it isn't even close..

    I can see if you think they are on par with each other or maybe you can argue that Eubanks is slightly better based on whatever you think seperates them, but not sure how you can say Eubanks is greater by a good margin.

    Don't fall for the hype-machine there.

    Forget the world championship. Doesn't mean much but in truth Eubank's resume isn't that much better than Smith's. What he has going for him is a very competitive loss to BJS, name recognition and he's a natural 160.
    Solid opponent. As Can-yellow would of been as well but he ducked and ran

    Eubanks has fought the better competition. Smith honestly shouldn't even be holding Andrades belt.

    This Smith is the epitome of a paper champion, don't get me wrong I think he is a good fighter, bug he is a champion who has got it the easy way.

    If your a poster who d!ck rides GGG 24/7 you should have several seats and have no room to talk about any bodies competition.
    This same argument is posed with Golovkins comp and all you stans do is hide behind bullsh!t like a title. Oh he's a champ or it's a mandatory yet flip flop at the highest order at others.
    How much you wanna bet Smith had the exact same resume but was WBO MW Champ how many of you stams would call this the greatest fight ever GGG vs an unbeaten champ.

    Y'all should get serious I don't even like this fight but you stans have absolutely no leg to stand on talking about others comp.

    Wow I am surprised Canelo is taking on such a difficult fight against Liam Smith! I fear Canelo might have another loss on his record against this Liam "World Beater" Smith. Good for Canelo on taking on such difficult fights such as Smith and Khan. He sure is looking to fight the best. I am sure this will do well over 1 billion PPV buys. I will buy this fight and invite my entire neighborhood to watch such a thriller-nail bitting fight!

    You can't be serious. David's power is concussive. He is a knockout artist with power rivaling GGG's. Liam on the other hand is fairly featherfisted. David won the title against a serious and credible opponent in Ndam. Do you recognize anyone on Liam's resume worth noting?

    I only watched his fights because I have a british friend obsessed with all british fighters and he frequently posts fb videos of Liam. His record looks great but past that record, there is a man that was in the right place at the right time.

    Lemieux would destroy Liam, I am certain of it. Frankly, if they fought, you wouldn't bet on Smith either.

    check out how Smith eats those uppercuts, despite closing in a shell. This will be a short night for Canelo.

    If hes actually going to fight at 154, this isn't terrible.

    Not great either.

    Smith is the weakest of the 154 titlists, but hes not a joke either.

    1 year ago Liam Smith was on the undercard for Derry Mathews.

    "Anyone who can name 3 fighters on Smith's record without looking at Boxrec is either a liar or Liam Smith" - saw that on Twitter yesterday
