    I don't get the Callum Smith votes even though I quite like him. He really lost badly to Canelo at 168, in terms of a h2h rematch 175 would help for sure but surely not nearly enough to change the result.

    full training camp at 175 with the canelo we seen lately i think it be a different fight canelo win but 7-5 8-4 at best. don't rank canelo at 175 because he mostly fights 168

    Callum Smith even looks like he has a size advantage over his opponents at 175lbs tool.

    A real weight bully.

    I agree with that, Canelo doesn't count as a 175. But Zurdo should therefore be #3 in my humble opinion.

    He hasn’t beaten anyone of note at 175 though apart from a European level Dominic Boesel.

    Plus Sulivan Barrera (who beat JSJ) and Yunieski Gonzalez. None of these are world beaters, but they are better than anything Callum Smith has at LHW.
