HAHA I'd love it if you said that to his face, he'd knock you out cold and yes he will be a world champ one day!!!

Who's he going to beat? Kelly Pavlik? Arthur Abraham? Felix Strum? I don't see it. And tell Paul to bring his ass to Los Angeles. I'll whip his fucking ass .

You like that, huh? Seriously, Paul ain't that good

if its in liverpool ill actually go, its only down the road.

Sorry Lee but i have to agree with V.D on this one i heard a lot of hype about Smith and when i watched a few fights of his he was nothing more than a decent fighter at best. He was very lucky to get the decision in the Contender in which many thought he lost. And in his last 2 fights he has been struggling against fighters who he is supposed to blow away if he is a good prospect. Even before i see his fight with Conroy McIntosh and he only just about got over the line in that one as well, and Conroy has a losing record for crying out loud. Smith is average in every attribute nothing he does is good at all its all mediocre. I'll be shocked if he got anywhere near a title shot.

I actually rspect you opinion and what you say I can agree in parts, but Paul CAN and WILL be a world champion IMO it's just the past few fights he's been looking for that one punch KO which is a bad strategy. There's a lot more to come from him.

His last 3 fight were shit cuz he is shit. What does beating Reid prove? Everybody has been beating Reid lately. He went into the Smith fight having lost 3 out of his last 4. And he's lost his next 2 fights after fighting Smith. You impressed with that? Seriously he's just a local domestic fighter. That's it. He reminds me of Peter Manfredo. Just not as good.

---

Now's thats hating with that statement. He'd whoop Manfredo's ass. He ain't shit he got the potential to be a world champ, If he is shit then why did Buddy McGirt sign him up ?? and why did Pepe Correra say "If you don't become a world champion Paul, I'll kiss your backside".

I ain't impressed with Jonathan Reid but look how he performed in that fight is what I'm saying, there's more to come from Paul Smith and I guarantee he will come good. He's got much more ability than a domestic fighter, he just has to prove it.

---

I'm still waiting for Ahmed Kuddour to live up to Tommy Gallagher's Contender prediction of being the next De La Hoya :-X

Sorry to rain on your parade Lefty but the Contender is a tv show that generates money for the station that broadcasts it. They say stupid things to hype their fighters up.

Smith may get to win a British title if he's lucky, but he ain't going beyond that.

I disagree, I think Manfredo takes him. Not much power but better skilled IMO.
Bilbo, Paul is the British Middleweight Champ at the moment, he won it on the undercard of Haye vs Enzo

Smith won the English middleweight title.

Wayne Elcock is the British champ.

All i can say is.....Gavin Rees won a world title.


If he's matched right and gets lucky he has a chance.

I suspect he'll end up at European level but you never know. Hope he does well. He's good to watch.
