I don't mind smug from a guy same as cocky just as long as they go the full field with it, walk the walk I guess. Wards a good talent and I don't mind the guile and craftiness but it's more his delivery and tone. Hollier than thou or like his shit don't stink. Reminds me of a Byrd or Angel manfredy a bit. Maybe it's the religious aspect? Bradley is a bit smug.

Cocky is healthy in the ring in moderation. It's what I like about a Froch. Kind of fights like he talks. All comers. Then you have guys like a Broner who frankly haven't done a thing longterm and act like they have already arrived on the mount. It's empty. Rios is one of the biggest blow hards and even worse may be that stupid laugh. Yeh he fights like he talks but his lack of pro focus gets him a pass to jackassville.
