be nice if Smith can get some name building fights in the mean time.
He mentioned Shane Mosley at the post-fight press conference, I wouldn't be mad at that.
How does Smith match up with Andrade/Charlo/Lara?

Winning a joke of a world title bout against someone who was KTFO by a novice 4 bouts ago and is US regional level doesn't put him in their class and I'd favor all of them to beat him, with at least Andrade and Lara doing so comprehensively. His best chance would probably be against Jermall Charlo but even then I'd take JC and I think his brother Jermall would clearly outbox Smith. I'd still like to see him fight Soro and I'd make that around 50/50.

I'd give Smith a great chance with any fighters who are willing to stand and trade with him but Thompson showed movement after landing befuddled Liam ,Andrade,Lara and the Charlo's have no issues with those tactics

in that case he'd better make some money whilst he's got the title then.
Bring on the old names looking for a payday...

If he wants to keep the belt as long as possible, yep.
That's what protection is.

Would absolutely love Liam Smith v Vanes Martirosyan. Would be an awesome fight and would determine is Liam is world class.
Think that record will get padded though. There is a guy in the WBO rankings who was world champion at BANTAMWEIGHT in the 90s. He was talked about as an Andrade opponent.
