Another UK V USA Contender showdown likely and Paul Smith set to captain UK team

[Kev]

Paul sucks. He'll never be a title holder. Much less a champion

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.

Actually I think if you picked a name at random out of the phonebook then providing they were male and could make weight they'd have a chance of taking Felix Sturm

And I would put money on them to beat Paul Smith. Seriously. You seen Smith fight? He ain't that good.

I admit in the past three fights he's been total shit but he's still got the wins, watch the Jonathan Reid fight, Smith will come good soon enough.

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.

Smith is more than a regional fighter....he might make the step up to being a gatekeeper occasional title challenger if he improves his opposition, but I don't think Smith really has it in him to be world class.

And I agree with VD that Smith has looked out of sorts and hasn't been at his best recently.

Maybe the magic word (Contender) will help him to step up his game again.

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.

Where's the potential at? When has he shown it? What fight? He's struggling against bums in his last fights. And you think he's a title threat? Come on now. Be realistic. There's a diffrence between liking a fighter and wanting him to do good. And liking a fighter and building him up for more than he is.

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

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
