how far will paul smith go

100%. He is not dedicated.

 

He isn't brilliant really. Hardly fought anyone of any real class. The Quigley fight should be a good test for him. Would really like to see him perform well, hardly any good fighters from Liverpool any more.

 

fyi Paul Smith is Currently ranked number 4 by the WBO at Super Middleweight.

There number 1,2,3 are Ward, Abraham and Dirrel who our in the tournement. This basically means Paul Smith is the number 1 contender for Robert Steilgritz.

 

FYI the rating of a Frank Warren fighter in the WBO is worthless.

 

A Frank Warren fighter who's done nothing is high up in the WBO rankings? I refuse to believe it!

 

if he beats quigley he will probs get a world title fight in 2010. anyone fancy him to take Steilgritz?

 

I've always had my doubts about Smith to be honest. For the last few years everyone's been raving about him and I genuinely dont see why? He hasn't fought the greatest of opposition, he's lost aginst a pretty average domestic scrap against Steven Bendall. He eaked out a victory over a Healy who DeGale put out in a round. Stieglitz, Balzsay and Inkin would beat him IMO so there's the EBU out of the window.

If he beats Quigley would like to see him fight Magee

 

he should be happy it's steilgritz and not pavlik or cotto cos it would be english man gets slaughtered part 3...

...ala lockett and jennings.

 

When asking about the Bendall loss on boxrec, people think he was unlucky to not get the decision and thought he won.

Most likely a domestic level fighter, he's been pro since 2002 and is only just going for a British title now.

He'll beat Quigley though, Quigley is stil a novice.

 

He will be a contender on the domestic front.

 

he deffinatley won the bendall fight but still. i think he is one of those fighters that is world class in the gym, domestic level in the ring.

 

Some harsh comments here I think, but your entitled to your opinions... I'll say this for sure, Paul was robbed against Bendall!! I was sat in the front row and Bendall couldn't believe he ha got it, He was walking away from the ref waiting for him to raise Paul's hand,

I'll be first to say Paul ain't reached his potential yet and has looked bad a few times BUT he is a good fighter IMHO. I think he'll stop Quigley. If Paul is given notice and an opponent you'll see the best of him that's for sure.Not many people will agree with me I know but I gotta tell ya my opinion on him.He's a good fighter.:good

 

I think people are being harsh on Paul because he has not delivered in the ring on a consistant basis. On the odd occaision he performs to his ability he has looked class but more often than not he lets himself drop down to his opponents level plus his fitness needs to improve, I know as a boxer he is fit but he needs to take it up a level or two if he wants to achieve his goals.

I like Paul and have tried to follow his career from the ams. He still has potential and although I do not think he is a world title challenging fighter if the opportunity that Rob mentioned came along he could surprise us all but only if he far exeeds everything he has shown us so far.

 

He should get dedicated, move down to 160 and fight Barker/Macklin. It's logical.

 

I think that you have seen Paul in the gym and anyone that has sparred with him or watched him train seem to really rate him. Fact is we have yet to see a top quality performance from Paul Smith.

Perhaps its a case if him fighting at his level. Thats why i would of loved to have seen him fight Solimon or Bika.

Whats your thought on Stephen Smith Tony? I think he could be a world champion for usre. Havent seen any of Liam Smith but i think Stephen is the standout of the Smith brothers for sure.
