    I do think Frank wanted Williams to win, Smith and his Team were claiming underhanded tactics in the aftermath as well.

    FFS Frank leaving him out in the cold is a bit of a laugh, the bloke just fought for a world title against arguably the only bloke he had a chance against??? Sounds like Frank did him really well if you ask me!!!

    He probably would have been a 2x champ if he didn't get sick before the Sadam Ali fight!!!
    Not Franks fault the bloke gets an allergic reaction?

    Frank gifted him a world title against a no hoper
    Got him a fight against the biggest name in the sport
    Headlined 2x domestic grudge matches and also another World title shot aganist a green but popular kid where Liam did really well.

    I dislike Frank to the max, but Hearn could not have and would not have done better!!!!

    Ye, I forgot about that Smith v Williams fight where it was blatantly obvious Frank was backing Williams.

    Callum just needs an opportunity and he will be a superstar IMO, kid has talent

    Groves was a good win but Groves did have an injury coming into the fight. Arguably diminished the win a little bit.

    Callum will smash GGG and Canelo IMO, can't wait for them to man up

    I forgot Smith was even still with Warren, I'd doubt Frank cares.

    Smith vs Brook would've been decent 2 years ago, not so much now.

    It's not a signing which is going to move the needle in terms of ticket sales but it's an option for domestic 154 fights.

    Smith is a decent opponent to put other guys over. His durable and the domestic fights outside Brook would be competitive.

    Competitive fight now, couple of years ago Brook would have been far too good for Liam, not now.

    Frank got Liam a Canelo gig on HBO PPV as defending champion.

    Hopefully Paul comes out of his retirement for another well deserved title shot for the Smith Anfield PPV.

    He wants part of that Anfield card with Callum. Cannot blame him. As soon as he heard whispers of that happening he isn't going to even think about anything else.
