    I couldn't say I blame him if he did that to be honest. I think we might see him again at LHW if he feels he can pick up a title there, if not then I think he might knock it on the head.

    Always has the WBSS win to his name, ranked #1 by the ring at SMW and had a mega fight with Canelo. Might just think he can't top that and knock it on the head, unless he wants to try become a 2 weight world champion.

    To be fair the Smith brothers never harmed anyone they seem decent enough people. Definitely overrated but it's impressive that they all sort of made it at a reasonably high level in boxing. Gallagher does not make it easy too

    Callum is a decent feller and Pricey is sound but the rest of them are unbareable, they aren’t even liked here in Liverpool. Bellew is the worst for me

    Can't remember specifics but if you have a Google or search I'm sure you will hear.

    A guy on the boxing asylum had a couple also a while back.

    4 lads who've dedicated their lives to boxing for 20 odd years yet they're "stealing a living". They've earned they're money, and achieved a lot in a tough sport.

    I haven't sopken to him for years but hung around Paul as a teenager and he was a good lad, not a bully or nothing like that. Whilst wed all be getting pissed he'd be going home or training. The others seemed OK as well, not saying they've never done nothing wrong in life or got into a scrap or anything but which boxer hasn't.

    To be fair they have collectively done alright out of boxing, had some big fights made a bit of ££, fair play to them. I don't particularly like them but who gives a ****. As I predicted Smith got absolutely out-classed, Canelo played with him like a doll, easywork. Smith has always been overrated tbh, just a weight bully. But he lives to fight another day with alot of cash in his pocket.

    Aye reading your post, you are probably better to judge but from what I've heard Paul is a massive bully who gets his mates to threaten and intimidate people. I believe such 'stories' are what led sky to blacklist him as a pundit for fair amount of time.

    I don't buy this stealing a living business as to get where they have alot got to you need some sort of hard work, dedication and drive otherwise it won't happen. Boxing is brutal as much as we get on people back they have put in serious time to this

    I think he'll move up to 175 and try his hand at becoming a 2 weight world champion

    Paul doesn't come across well at all. The other three seem like decent lads.

    I actually enjoy listening to Paul, think he was one of the better pundits sky had/have, although don't seem to use him now.

    The only 2 I dislike are Paul Smith and Anthony Fowler, both are shallow vacuous people with a lack of self awareness.

    As for The Smiths in general, Hatful Of Hollow is a classic album!
