    Callum Smith Is leagues above the others at the minute.

    Yarde came in on Saturday and executed his game plan perfectly so credit to him for that but overall I weren’t too impressed. His shot selection was poor and repetitive, he was missing a lot - against better fighters you would get punished. He was just plodding forward against little to no resistance, a better boxer and/or someone with power keeps him off and he would be completely puzzled.

    I honestly couldn’t believe what I was hearing when the commentary proclaimed him as the best Light Heavy since Conteh!

    As for the others, Johnson is at the end of his career now, I expect him to now out against Joe Smith. Arthur drops right down the list after that performance. Buatsi I want to say “promising” but it’s been 5 years now? It’s about time to deliver, I think he will but he hasn’t done yet. Richards deserves more credit than what he gets, Azeez I’d like to see take a step up.
