Re: How good was James "Bone crusher" Smith ?
No doubt the best heavyweight my home state has produced! I think he was like most heavyweights who aren't great he was unlucky at times and inconsistant as well, but he had his moments where he looked as dangerous as any of the top fighters of his era.

I was just gonna say Bonecrusher was from North Carolina, which struck me as unique when I first saw it on boxrec.North Carolina....frankly we don't produce many good boxers Bonecrusher Smith and Calvin Brock are our best
Him and Larry Holmes had a rematch in 1999 in North Carolina. Holmes TKO'd him in 8.
And I agree "Bone crusher" was a GREAT nick name.
The guy was a good bit better than I thought he was. I'd say a pretty good soild heavyweight overall in his day.
