Where does Sadam Ali fit in the 154lb picture. I think he wont mess with Charlo or Hurd. But if he gets past Liam Smith he might fight Brook for big money. I believe in the whole 154lb Brook is the big money fighter.
Not sure about Alis ring IQ. He can control the tempo from the outside and deliver his power at the end of a 3 punch combo. But he overcommits especially when he's controlling a Rd. A strurdy counter puncher would catch up with his handspeed. Check his chin and wear him down. I think his power keeps him in a fight til it's over. But I'm not confident that he wins this fight with Smith. He's durable and fights eerily similar to Vargas and may have a good size advantage if he's stayed in good shape since Alvarez. If Ali wins this one, he should try to get Khan and Brook. I feel like Khan is just quick enough to see the bell and make it close enough to raise his profile. Then Ali v Brook for big money with Khan having earned the rematch or shot at Brook. That's good fights and paydays for all of them and a grand entrance of the top of that heap into the LMW DIVISION
...An ambalamps on his way to the hospital. Seriously though, I would make him and Brook, Lara or Khan. He really needs to leave Charlo and Hurd alone.
I think they need to pick his opponents carefully....................perhaps he should get advice from Wilder about how to get a lot of winos...................from the alley!
Think the obvious choice would be Brook for that Sky PPV money, would be a winnable fight for him as well compared to fighting Charlo or Hurd who are both way to big for him
